Hey, Creatives!
99% of people get stuck in this trap when it comes to building their personal brand
Want to start seeing results? Do this instead.
You’ve probably been told 100’s of time to ‘build a personal brand’
You’ve made a plan to start
You want to start attracting opportunities
But then you get stuck in the strategy trap.
Researching the best posting times
Comparing yourself to other creators
Second-guessing your content ideas
Until you become overwhelmed and tell yourself you will start next month 🙃
As a brand strategist who helps both businesses and creators build authentic brands,
This is one of the biggest challenges that holds people back from their potential.
Here’s how to break free of the strategy trap:
+I’ve tried and tested it myself since I started posting consistently on LinkedIn earlier this year and it created leads worth ££££’s
Get an initial idea of what you want to be known for
↳ Don’t wait until you have the perfect idea, start with the formula skillset + interests + values
Decide on a realistic posting schedule
↳ Telling yourself you will post x5 times a week straight away will make you more likely to quit
Spend 50% of your time writing content & 50% of your time engaging with others
↳ Most people give up because of low engagement but if you don’t engage with others you can’t expect people to take notice of your content.

Great newsletter, Emma! I definitely get in my own way sometimes and overwhelm is a big part of that. I like the idea of coming up with a basic plan and sticking to it - and I think that can work for anything, whether it’s LinkedIn or a new creative project. Thank you for sharing ☺️
