10 Free Personal Brand Building Tools

Building a personal brand takes time.

Fact is, it’s going to take 3 years consistent effort before your brand really takes off with constant media interviews and event managers asking you to speak.

Building a personal brand requires tenacity and dedication (along with a touch of insanity) to become a stand-out, in demand brand.

First you’re going to have to choose the #1 thing you want to become well known, well paid and wanted for to gain the clarity of purpose with a set direction, otherwise you’ll get distracted and overwhelmed.

Once you’ve done that, you will need to be really active if you want to rocket launch you, your brand and your business and you’ll need to have some useful tools to help you grow your brand and to track and measure your progress.

Here are 10 FREE Personal Branding tools to help you stand out and really get your brand out there...

Personal Branding Boosters

By Lauren | Personal Branding

If you really want to rise above your competition and stand-out, you are going to have to rocket launch the level of trust people have in you.

People buy services based on their confidence in your ability to deliver what you say you can do, and they need evidence.

Trust is a funny thing though.

Arthur Ashe, triple Grand Slam Title winner once said, “Trust has to be earned, and should come only after the passage of time”.

Exchanging business cards at conference

Networking is one of the most popular ways to promote you and your business but if you don’t understand the science behind it, you could be wasting your time.

In fact, if you don't know how the human brain works to block out anything that even remotely sounds like a sales pitch, you might as well give up networking and stay home.

Why You Shouldn’t Use Your Name To Brand Your Business

By Lauren | Core Message , Marketing

You might think that using your own name to brand your business is a no brainer.

Although it appears to be a simple solution, in the long term, using your own name is a much more difficult way to create a meaningful brand.

What about Lorna Jane, Donald Trump, Pete Evans or Coco Channel, I hear you say?

Of course it has been done and there are well known 'name based' brands, but what may seem an easy way out at first, could create a rod for your own back.

You see, the human brain ‘sees’ brands with emotion and attaches these to a memory in order to recognise and recall a brand when the need arises.

When you use your name as your brand name, any emotional connection is based on your personal behaviour rather than on a meaningful brand story.
