build a personal brand, they said.
“You’ll be at 10k/month in no time”, they said.
And here you are 3, 6, 12 months later – still trying to figure out how to make money from our experience. And everyday, you get more advice. But it never seems to really help.
- Be more authentic.
- Niche down.
- Don’t Niche down (you are the niche).
- Show your personality.
- But make sure to provide value.
- But don’t post only about value.
The advice can be overwhelming, unclear, and vague. And if you’re like 88% of creators (Download here) – you’re not even close to sniffing a 10k month. Even after following all the contradictory advice you’ve been given.
What gives?
Well – first off – the gurus seemed to conveniently leave out that making it as a creator (even with a personal brand) is hard fucking work. They probably did that so you’d buy their courses or something (you didn’t hear that from me 😬).
And – second off – the gurus sent you out into the wild with no real guidelines. Let me know if this sounds familiar:
- Just write to yourself from three months ago
- Write about your interests and problems you solved
- Build a marketable skill (probably copywriting or marketing right?)
- Build In Public 🙄🙄🙄
- Build digital leverage by sharing your stories
And if you just did those things, you would be able to work 4 hours a day and bank a metric-ton of money. So, you took the nice pat on the back and ran off to (insert social media) to begin building your digital empire.
And now – here you are 6 – 12 months later and still no 10k months?
Matter of fact – no clients at all really 😬.
Well – there’s a ton to be said about building a personal brand, especially one that is supposed to make you a bunch of money. But I won’t bore you further. You can go poke through my newsletter for more of that.
