How to Build a Strong Personal Brand that Makes Money
It’s no secret that stronger Personal Brands have more earning potential. There are many
elements that you can work on to improve your brand, but the strength lies in how well all
these elements work together.
When you’re promoting your personal brand online, image is everything. So, what should
you focus on to take your brand to the next level?
It Starts with Your Reputation
It doesn’t matter how good your brand looks online, if your reputation is poor, you’re going
to work much harder to generate new business. What do you focus on when
recommending a company to people you know? It’s not their clever ad copy, but their
excellent service and product quality. This doesn’t mean visuals aren’t important though,
they simply fit into a bigger picture. If you need to update your Professional Headshot or you need
Personal Branding images for your online presence, give us a call! Our studio is conveniently located
in Johns Creek. We also have a portable studio so we can bring our setup to your location!
Are you unsure whether your reputation is what it could be?
If so, here’s how to change that:
● Keep your promises. We all have busy schedules, but if you want to build a
good reputation, you need to do what you say you’ll do. Be honest about your
availability and communicate with clients to ensure they have realistic
expectations.
● Don’t be scared to be vulnerable. Your clients are more understanding
than you realize – within reason, of course. When you’re honest, vulnerable,
and forthright, you earn a client’s respect. It’s ok to have to miss a meeting or
deadline, provided you communicate.
● Never stop learning. When you’re always striving to provide your
customers with the best results, you’re instantly more credible. Not only are
you investing in yourself, but you’re showing clients that you’re a
problem-solver. It also ensures you stay relevant in your industry.
● Stay consistent. It’s always a disappointment when someone gives a great
first impression, only for them to disappear or not deliver. People respond
positively to consistency, so make it a priority. If you’re a good communicator
at the start, keep communicating clearly. If you post content on social media
every week, show clients that this is what they can always expect.
When your Personal Brand’s image doesn’t align with what people are saying about you, you’ll be going nowhere quickly.
We offer everything from Half Day Sessions to Quarterly Full Day Sessions that give you all the images you need to post on your social media platforms for a full 90 days!
