Personal Brand: What is it and How do you build it on Twitter?

Will go into:
> Why everyone should build a brand
> 3 pillars every profitable personal brand has (with examples)
> How to build an engaged audience (which you can monetize) for your brand

THREAD
Having a personal brand is your # 1 leverage point on the internet.

You can use your brand to:
> Build communities
> Network with power players
> Sell your own products and services
> Be your own boss
> Create opportunities out of thin air

So how do you build it?

Step one 👇
Understand there are 3 pillars to every valuable personal brand

# 1 Authority

Authority boils down to one thing "what do you bring to the table?"

What skills/lessons/experiences can you share with your audience that gives them value *before* money changes hands?
@ROGUEWEALTH is an authority on sales and systems

@JoshuaLisec is an authority on ghostwriting

If you're not a top level authority yet. don't fret.

You can still build a great brand.

I wrote a thread that shows you how to do this:

# 2 Relatability

Relatability refers to how human you are.

Your followers want to know who the person behind the account is.

Being relatable means building a connection with your audience

You do this by revealing your *drum roll* PERSONALITY (remember the "personal" part?)
This is why it's important to vary up your tweets:
> Talk about your wins AND losses
> Tell us your frustrations (just don't be a moaner)
> Show us your sense of humour
> Shit poast (just don't get banned)
> Show us what you're working on

etc

Be REAL
# 3 Likeability

This is a tough one but the best framework I've found comes from a book called the Story Solution by Eric Edson.

Edson lists 9 attributes which make a character likeable:

1) Courage
2) Unfair Injury
3) Skill
4) Funny
5) Just Plain Nice

👇
6) In Danger
7) Loved by Friends and Family
8) Hard Working
9) Obsessed

To qualify as likeable, you need at least 5 out of 9.

To prove this works, all you have to do is
> Pick a brand you like
> See how they match up against these attributes
Incorporate these three pillars into your tweet writing and general content strategy

Be consistent and you will have a quality personal brand in a matter of months.

Sick of writing tweets that flop??

Here's 4 types of tweets people are *biologically wired* to engage with.

Apply these to your tweets if you want to 10x your engagement

Quick //Thread//
1) People respond to what's NEW

Our brains are wired to seek novelty.

This doesn't mean you have to be 1000% original to stand out

You can offer an opposing opinion or add a unique spin to an existing idea.

Here's @thedankoe doing the former by going against "hustle mindset"
2) People respond to what’s ENTERTAINING

If you have a good sense of humour, are creative or just a cool person overall

Then your secret weapon is your ability to entertain your audience.

# 1 mistake people make when it comes to growing and monetising their Twitter account?

They are BORING.

Their profile is boring.

Their tweets are boring.

Why is this?

How a 10 year old kid from Ohio went from making silly videos in his backyard to headlining a PPV main event with the biggest boxing star of this generation

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...
