The Personal Branding Chat Thread

[James007Hill]

How're people getting on with their personal brands?

LinkedIn made a recent algorithm change and now our posts are less likely to be seen by our connections, and more likely to be seen by people interested in the topic of the post, and what our profile says we're an expert in. I preferred it when it was more social than interest based.

Sounds like they’ve copied the other social media platforms as it’s the same on tik tok, instagram etc. Barely matters anymore how many followers you have, it’s all about the quality of the individual post. I’ve 29k followers on tik tok and often get just a few hundred views (not complaining as that also means my posts aren’t good enough and I need to do better, but just stating as a fact). On the flip side though, you can start out with no followers and in theory it’s possible to get millions of views from your first (or any) post! So it’s good for those starting out or those with few followers, as you have a chance of reaching a wide audience with every post, if the post is good enough.

Personal brand is going quite well, my biggest problem is I’m more “self-employed” than “running a business” so need to figure out how to scale in a way that detaches my income from my time. I’m in quite a small niche (wild food foraging) but one that has opportunities to branch out into bigger areas such as how nature can help with mental and physical health, nature connection (or lack of it, as the problem is), homeschooling market etc.
