A Case Study on the Power of Building a Personal Brand in the Digital Age

👇👇👇
On June 6th 2021 Logan Paul will be facing off against future HOF boxer Floyd Mayweather in a PPV event that will reportedly net him 10 million dollars (PLUS his share of PPV sales)
Not bad for a mid western kid who got his start making home videos in his backyard...
Love him or hate him, Logan Paul's success just goes to show you the value of building a personal brand on social media.
Some people laugh him off as "just a Youtuber" but the fact is this guy gets paid millions of dollars doing what most people are already doing every day...
Creating content and uploading it on the internet.
So how is Logan Paul getting paid millions to create content while most get $0?
Here's the juice:
Paul isn't just creating content.
He's using a business model that few people are using to get paid.
He's building You, Inc.
The way you make money with the You.Inc business model is very simple:
1) Create content and upload it online 2) Build an audience that enjoys your content (Hint: traffic) 3) Make money from advertising & selling products and services (Hint: monetize traffic)

Lesson # 1 Consistency is King
Logan's journey to becoming Logan Paul, Inc didn't happen overnight.
The guy got started at age 10 making videos on an app called Zoosh.
That's 16 years of creating content.
Logan's first big break came in high school when he started...
going viral on the now defunct Vine app.
His videos were mostly silly stunts, doing pranks, slapstick style humour etc.
The kind of stuff a typical teenager (his audience at the time) would enjoy.
And that brings me to Lesson # 2...
Lesson # 2 Your content must entertain or educate (ideally both)
Logan has said "I want to be the biggest entertainer in the world"
That's his shtick.
He knows he's in the entertainment business so that's where he invests his energy.
But that doesn't mean you have to do...
the same.
Here on Twitter, there are several creators making 6 figures from educating their audience.
Some of them inject an element of entertainment to their content but that's not always the case (although it helps MASSIVELY)

What is a funnel?
A funnel is a system that brings a prospect from stranger to buyer.
On Twitter, your funnel can be as simple or as complicated as you like
Ex of a simple funnel:
> Have an offer
> DM prospects
> Send link to product (low ticket)
