A few years ago, I didn’t even think about building a personal brand. I was just doing my job and keeping my head down. But when I decided to start sharing my knowledge on social media—writing about my experiences and expertise—it completely changed the game. I started with a simple LinkedIn profile, posting articles and tips relevant to my industry. Then, I launched a personal blog and shared my journey, highlighting both successes and struggles. Over time, I became a go-to expert in my field, which opened up networking opportunities, freelance work, and even speaking engagements. It didn’t happen overnight, but by consistently showing up and adding value to others, I built a brand that attracted attention from companies, clients, and mentors. A personal brand doesn’t have to be a massive operation—just a commitment to authenticity and sharing what you know. If I can do it, so can you.
