My Dear Women, why is image and personal branding important nowadays? Many people say "don't judge a book by its cover", but how many times have we been judged not only by our appearance but also by the way we behave and the things we say? It is the first few seconds that determine whether someone will like us, identify with us or whether we will feel the so called "FLOW" with another person. FLOW" with the other person. The energy flow between us can be really different.
You also have a very large impact on how you will be perceived, although by implementing the so-called "personal branding" in the network we are often misjudged. Someone may consider us a serious person, because we do not smile in our profile picture, and another person may consider us very relaxed. It may turn out that at a personal meeting we are introverts or people who prefer to listen than to talk. Dear Women, in the age of pandemonium and the rise of the digital world - everything has moved online. Each of us has a channel on social media - which means we each have a personal brand that is perceived in some way by the outside world. Some people are more open, build reach, communicate their opinions strongly, contribute to forums and actively build a brand, while others are very protective of their privacy and do not externalize themselves.
Each social media channel also has a different communication model. On Tik-Tok we are brave, we must have a distance to ourselves, dance to the rhythm of the background music, putting on the tasks that are trendy. Here as we have an inspiring idea for ourselves - we can count on a large amount of organic traffic. On Instagram, we showcase looser photos of our travels, meetings, situations at home, favorite pets and activities, and things that inspire us. In addition, we can implement live meetings and record stories, sharing our tips, experience, ideas. Instagram has a looser formula than Facebook. A more formal channel for personal branding is LinkedIn in which we create a great networking network of our target group. We can meet a lot of great people.
Whether you want to build your personal brand more as an influencer marketer or an expert in a given field or you want to be like Mrs. Zosia who loves to cook cakes and wants to share photos of her products and inspire people to bake cakes - it depends on you how others will perceive you and how you want to be perceived. It is important to be consistent in everything and feel comfortable in your own skin. If we prefer loose, colorful clothes we can emphasize our character, individualism. People who opt for more elegant, minimalist clothes are often identified with competence, intelligence and a lot of knowledge. There is a reason why we go to job recruitment meetings wearing a navy blue jacket or white shirt with a collar.
What is the difference between image and personal branding? Image means how others perceive you at first glance. And personal branding means what other people think of you in the long run. What comes to such people's minds when they say your name and what is the outside opinion of you?
Instead of fitting in with the group, learn to express yourself by emphasizing your passion and energy - with a bold necklace, colorful earrings, or an original brooch. You may ask yourself what do you think your style says about you? Do you put effort into your appearance and do you try to stand out from other people at work? Does the way you dress convey the right message to others? Start by removing those items from your closet and closet that are not consistent with your desired image. Choose clothes and accessories that make you feel confident, authentic and consistent with the image you want to present to others. Buy current, quality clothing that is appropriate for your body shape and lifestyle. Key factors important, when building your personal brand:
Strongly focus on the key message
Many people often want to be everywhere and for everyone. However, it is worth deciding what values we identify with, what message we want to carry to others and what brings us joy? What niche is our target audience? Focusing on your group will make it easier to create content around your brand. Additionally, it is a good idea to keep your message and content consistent with your niche topic so that it is remembered.
Honesty is key
The original personal brand is about being honest about it. It makes sense to become an expert in a particular field and tell it straight as it is. The more we identify with the products, believe in them the more honest we will be with ourselves and others.
