Building your personal brand online: Need, scope and the means
Building a strong personal brand online involves establishing your unique values, abilities, and areas of expertise so that others recognize your professional identity. It is important for better business opportunities, job prospects, and partnerships. To develop your personal brand, create a blog and website, be active on social media by posting regularly and engaging with others, set goals to measure your progress, and focus on quality connections rather than just growing your network. Personal branding is about authentically representing yourself, not about privacy or gaming the system for superficial gains.

- #13 You do all that we talked about. Think about this. Countless others are also doing the same. You want to be found and reached out to in a meaningful way.
- #15 People trust people more and brands less.
- #16 There is no better way to increase the size and the shape of your business funnel, as the enquiries that come this way are usually leads that convert to business better.
- #18 Pretty much everyone has mastered the offline branding tricks. From the handshake to the dress code to the elevator pitch. But most are naive to the online world. In many ways online beats offline. For starters, It’s continuity vs offline. The subtlety, omnipresence etc. tips the scale in its favor. But you can’t game the system. You can’t keep sharing links and expect to improve your image, you need to spend time and engage with people, the right ones.
