Tell me if this sounds like you:
I want to start posting more because I know it’s important to build my personal brand, but I don’t know what the f*ck to talk about!
I've been in the content creation game for over a decade, and let me tell you, the roller coaster of creativity, self-doubt, and algorithm changes never truly ends. But, that doesn’t mean we can't get started anyways.
I remember those times when my content felt stagnant or when layoffs in the industry threatened the security of creative jobs. I have even gotten fired! But, guess what's been my secret weapon? Personal Branding. And before you roll your eyes thinking it's all about selfies and buzzwords, hear me out!

Trust: It's like when friends recommend your channel or blog to others because they believe in your stuff.
Opportunities: Imagine the universe sliding into your DMs with collabs, gigs, or just amazing folks who resonate with your content.
