Personal Branding isn't something you have to go out and create it is just who you are as a person. Many people believe you have to go out and create this alter ego in order to be able to brand yourself this is not true. You can if you choose to but it is not necessary being who you all are as a person genuinely, is sufficient enough. Now there is nothing wrong with creating a character who is a reflection of yourself but it is very tricky because you have to be able to cross reference this character with who you are truely. We see many famous entertainers do this all the time. They have stage names and characters they play to entertain us the audience but off stage they are regular people. If you can develop a character that enhances who you are and what your business is about then go for it. This will distinguish you from other marketers and create brand recognition which is great for business.
We all have a story it can be your life story or the story of how you got started in business. Sharing stories about yourself creates trust and lays a foundation for your brand. It can be any kind of story from your childhood, your business, or something that you thought you would not be able to overcome and how you did overcome that obstacle. Anything you feel comfortable sharing with your audience is fine to just enhancing your brand even more. Your story will connect with other people in a way that your business alone could not. Just by doing this you will attract people who can relate with you and who are in the same boat as you. This is attraction marketing.
