Personal Branding Secrets for Social Media

The worst thing you can do on Instagram is let others decide who you are. This isn't just for Instagram—it's true for real life too!

If you want to grow your community and share your gifts, talents, or humor, you have to figure this stuff out. Remember, the lack of your presence is also a personal brand. If you're serious about your business or project, and I search for you on Google, Instagram, YouTube, or LinkedIn and find no information about what you offer, this tells me that you aren't offering anything I can connect with.

And most people think the same.

Personal branding is not rocket science. It simply means your stand in life, business, or creative journey. If you want a successful online presence and to grow your community and business on social media, you need to take control of your personal brand.

Hi, I'm Ozge, a business coach for entrepreneurs and creatives, helping them build their dream community. And no, personal branding is not just about your colors, logo, or name. Stop obsessing over these and start by defining your why.

Why do you want to grow your following and your business? What direction are you heading? Who do you want to connect with? Who are your dream clients?

Once this is clear, start talking. Without expressing yourself through talking and writing, no amount of planning will help you find your voice. Search on Google, Instagram, and YouTube to see what people are creating and what's trending.

Put out enough content to understand if people resonate with your approach. Analyze which content performs best so you can create more of it. Once you nail this down and find your voice, only then work on your aesthetics.

Times have changed—you can be as raw and messy as you want. If you are authentic, solving problems, saving time, or inspiring others, your community will grow.
