My Best Weapons To Help You Grow Your Personal Brand And Image On Social Media
Maximize Your Social Media Profile
Here’s what most successful small business coaches and female leaders do differently online: More than just promoting their product or service on social media, they also use their profiles to add backlinks to their website and other useful resources or information that can be easily seen by their potential customers.
Regardless of your niche or industry, whether it be a coaching business, or simply just promoting your personal brand, this technique will definitely work! Aside from marketing your products and services, you’re also giving them more reasons to get to know you more about your executive image and expertise.
Don’t forget to optimize your social media account using only the most relevant hashtags, add a location, and tagging other key people of influence and businesses. This way you will gain greater exposure and increase your personal brand value through other brand associations, partnerships and collaborations.

Have A Consistent Brand And Stick To It!
First order of business to having a successful brand or business is having clear cut branding.
Why, you might ask?
This will be the very “look” of your social media pages and is a reflection who you are and what you stand for!
Make sure to set your personal brand fonts, brand logo, colors, and style guide. This is next level branding that most female business professionals and leaders can’t be bothered with, but it’s actually your best weapon in building your brand awareness.
In this digital age where we can see so many different branding pages on a daily basis, chances are, people who have seen your profile won’t remember you.
Which is why you must take this extra step to be memorable by setting your signature personal brand colors, brand tone and brand image, and make sure to use it consistently!
Provide Value And Quality Content
If you want to build your influence online, you have to provide value. Focus more on helping, not selling!
Make sure to give out useful insights, opinions and ideas that your audience can learn from. This will develop a sense of trust that will eventually encourage them to do business with you in the near future!
From there, you will be able to show off your skills and expertise. As you go along, more and more people will be more inclined to follow you for the valuable content that you share.
It’s important that you understand who you are and what you stand for. You can use these posts to share your voice and create conversations that aim to interact and engage with your niche market or audience.

Find And Join Groups
Another way of effectively tapping into your potential customers is to join groups that belong to your niche and industry.
Don’t be afraid to engage with your target audience and always aim to provide value. What’s important is you connect with them, and leave a remarkable impression on them. Listen, share and give away lots of FREE information!
One of the best ways to grow your brand value is to give freely in the service of others when you can. That doesn’t mean you must give away all your products or not charge for your services. You can be of service to others through referrals, partnership, collaborations and valuable insights and ideas!
By showing you’re responsive and provide helpful insights, it will help build your personal brand in communities bigger than your own!
Establish Your Thought Leadership
Putting your personal brand on social media will help you give the boost and exposure that it needs! It will help build your network and credibility, which will open to new projects and opportunities.
What’s the most effective way of building your thought leadership, you may ask?
Most image consultants and brand consultants will always say that staying consistent and relevant is key to growing with your personal brand online.
But for me, more than just that, the key to a successful personal brand is in developing an authentic voice to your community that is relevant and meaningful to your niche and industry!
