Growing a brand or audience? Actually, they are the same thing. A strong brand attracts an audience. An audience will follow a brand that aligns with their values. In many ways, a brand has a cult following. AKA we call that a community :P Here are 5 steps to grow a brand and audience on LinkedIn. 1. Clarity + Amplify your brand Be clear with your positioning, who are you and why should they follow you. 2. Think about who your audience is Who are they, what job titles do they have, what industry are they in. Be specific and create content for them. 3. Produce high-value content Develop a high consistency of content where your audience wants to follow your content. You are the trusted source of news and information. Whether it be videos or written. 4. Be data-driven Use numbers to help inform your growth and your audience. 5. Be a trusted channel Read 1 + 2 + 3+ 4 to become a channel 6. Bonus tip: think of fried chicken. (a good community has lots of in-jokes). #stringtheory on #personalbranding ā¦see more
5 Tips to Look Good On Camera (and be professional) 1. Outline Your Goal What are you trying to achieve with your video? Sales? To promote your product? Share your expertise? 2. Whom are you talking to? We all have ideal clients that we buy into our brand, product or services. By not having a clear vision of your ideal audience, you're likely to dilute your message. The more you know whom you're talking to, the more convincing you will sound on video. 3. Use your smartphone If you're starting out, your smartphone is your most powerful tool. The most important thing is to convey your confidence on camera. 4. Trust yourself more We all deal with imposter sydnrome, it's our worse enemy. It stops your from voicing our your message.

"Starting in high school or college, I have lived my life according to what I call Verbally Stated Goals (VSG). At each major juncture, I focus on the most core emotion at that time; I crystallize it into words forming a mission statement; and then I tell everyone I meet that this is what I am doing. Telling people my Verbally Stated Goal does two things: first, by declaring it in front of many people, this commits me to achieving the goal; second, when people know what Iām trying to do, they find ways to help me."

Assuming normal parameters, if you're obsessing about font type and font size in any given piece of written communication, rather than what's in that written communication, your priorities - and quite frankly, way of thinking - need to be recalibrated

What is it that entire civilisations have become 'intoxicated, obsessed, haunted, humbled and exalted over pieces of metal called gold'? The 'Power of Gold' by Peter L Bernstein is a fascinating read. While the world is divided between people who love gold and investment professionals who can't understand why anyone would, I am somewhere in the middle after reading this book. https://lnkd.in/faYZKC3 #investing #gold ā¦see more
