Building Your Personal Brand: Start Simply. Start Here.

I started a YouTube Channel called ToasterrBunny a few weeks ago. It is mostly vlogs of me talking about learning how to be a YouTuber and what my channel should be about. Basically, I was making random videos of me yapping while getting ready. Go check it out to see what I’m talking about it.

Then I came across @bylaurendudley a creator on Instagram teaching her followers how to build their own personal brand. She explained how people get themselves into a niche and then burn themselves out talking about the same topic day in and day out. To create sustainably, you cannot pigeonhole yourself, instead make sure the niche is about you. Amazing, this exactly what I had been waiting for: permission to not pick a niche, but make myself it!

The first stage in building your personal brand is putting pen to paper and mind mapping, I did not do this exactly to her instruction as I made lists instead of mind maps. In your mind maps, she wants you to answer these three questions:

1. What do you think about everyday?
2. What do you talk to your friends about ?
3. What are you going through ?

So far these questions have helped me with topics for this blog and just living life more intentionally honestly. On this journey, an unintended consequence of creating my very own personal brand has been learning about myself more. I can make decisions easier, I know where I am going even if it’s only a general direction. I have a North Star. Below I have attached pictures of my answers to Lauren Dudley’s questions.
