The Evolution of Personal Branding
Personal branding is no longer just a buzzword; it’s a fundamental aspect of modern business. Jeremy emphasizes that today’s top personal brands operate beyond traditional marketing, strategically positioning themselves for long-term influence and trust. Here are the highlights of what’s covered in this episode:
- Speed as a Competitive Edge: Jeremy explains that the real-time demand for content creation has changed the game. The faster you can get high-quality content out there, the more competitive advantage you gain. From building awareness to establishing authority, speed plays a crucial role.
- Choosing the Right Platforms: While YouTube and podcasts are essential for long-form content, Jeremy suggests focusing on LinkedIn and IGTV for daily brand-building efforts. These platforms are seeing increased engagement, making them perfect for growing your presence quickly and reaching a broader audience.
Why Personal Branding is a Long-Term Investment
Your personal brand is not something you should approach as a quick win. Jeremy notes that building an influential personal brand requires time, consistency, and continuous growth. Unlike the short-lived trends we see online, a robust personal brand should be positioned for the long haul.
- Daily Content Strategy: Jeremy recommends posting on LinkedIn and IGTV daily to stay top-of-mind for your audience. This approach keeps you relevant and allows you to build a deeper connection with your followers.
- Tailoring Content for Diverse Audiences: With 35% of people being visual, 25% auditory, and 40% kinesthetic, creating content that resonates with different learning styles is crucial. Jeremy discusses how recognizing these differences can help you create more effective, targeted messaging for maximum impact.
