31 Online Personal Branding Strategies
We are living in the golden age of internet.
Building a personal brand has never been as easy as it is now. Yet so few people are taking advantage of this brilliant opportunity which marketers of the past would have killed to get a shot at.
Let’s not let this opportunity slip away.
Here are 31 step by step online personal branding strategies which leverage the internet to make you stand out from the crowd.
1. Define your target audience
First and foremost, have a clear idea about who your target audience is.
What do they want in life? What are their biggest aspirations? What are their biggest fears? What are their main problems and roadblocks in overcoming those fears? Where do they hang out the most?
Conduct a thorough research on all these questions and then base your message on how best you can meet their needs and expectations.
2. Identify and narrow down your niche
a) Identify your niche
b) Narrow down your niche
Next, you should narrow down your niche to address a specific demography.
For example, after you select lifestyle design as your initial niche, you can narrow it down to address a specific community and make your brand message custom tailored for them.
So instead of lifestyle design, it can now become lifestyle design for entrepreneurs or lifestyle design for single dads.
This way your message comes across as tailor-made for a particular set of demography and hence more appealing to them.
Pro tip — If you have more special qualities, you can connect them under the umbrella of your main superpower.
For example, if apart from lifestyle design, you are also good in personal finance, then after creating a string of lifestyle design related content, you can connect your insights and tips on personal finance as an actionable strategy to achieve a perfect lifestyle.
3. Stand for something
The key to building a brand is to stand for something.
Create a movement by representing something which is unique to your personality and instantly identifiable to you.
Remember to always be original even if at times your opinion does not have the popular vote. Have a set of values and own them by structuring your personal brand around it.
Pro tip — Help people self-identify with your movement by giving them a title by which they can identify themselves and other members of the community with.
4. Create a Mini-Manifesto around your brand
Establish a culture around your brand by creating a mini-manifesto.
This manifesto will list down all the values, mission and vision of your community in a mini-document.
It will act as a rallying cry for the community and reinforce the values whenever the community is in doubt.
It will show your industry what you stand for and against.
This will help fellow members of the industry self-identify with your values and be magnetically pulled towards your brand.
Here’s an example of Russell Brunson’s Funnel Hacker Manifesto.
Pro tip — An awesome way to add more meaning to your manifesto is by asking your community to print this out or have it as a mobile wallpaper.
5. Create a personal branding statement
“I help B2B companies (target market) double their leads (result) with LinkedIn ads (skill).”
6. Create a strategic bio
7. Use your headshot as your profile pic
8. Have a brand logo
9. Focus on having a uniform design language
10. Start creating content
Now it’s time to start creating your content. Start a blog or a vlog based on your product and niche. Select the best keywords in your industry and start creating consistent content around it.
What are the main pain points of the target audience? What are the strategies that work well in your industry? What are the latest trends in the industry? What are the popular tools to grow a business in your field?
Write and make videos about all this. Put the articles in a blog and videos on YouTube and other social media channels (more on that later).
Above all, focus on being an evangelist of your niche to the outside world.
Think what kind of information an outsider would need to get into your industry and create content around that. The more consistent you are with your content, the faster your brand will grow.
The goal is to make yourself synonymous with your industry.
11. Give high-value assets for free
See the demand in your industry and create assets to address those demands. It can be a piece of software or a free report solving some specific need or query in your industry.
After creating it, give it away for free on your blog in exchange for the prospect’s email. This way you will be seen as an expert who does not hold back on giving value first. Doing this pulls all the critical levers in building an epic personal brand.
12. Focus on SEO
SEO is a great way to get qualified organic traffic to your blog. This traffic will consist of people actively looking to get information in your industry and thus qualify as high-value leads.
If you can be the person who addresses their needs, they will start seeking you or your content for further advice. This will build your personal brand effectively for that niche.
To execute this perfectly, you need to rank on the first page of Google (or any other search engine) and typically for the top 3-5 keywords in your niche.
Doing this is a bit hard and can take a bit of time. Having said that there are a few growth hacks to rank faster for your content.

SEO Growth Hack 2
Secondly, do not go for heavily competitive keywords in your niche. Instead, use long tail keywords.
For example, if the main keyword in your industry is ”Internet Marketing”, then focus on a long tail keyword like “Internet Marketing for Freelancers” or “Internet Marketing for Home Based Entrepreneurs”.
The goal is to find keywords with high traffic volume but low competition.
Pro Tip — Use a tool like Ahrefs to find low competition keywords with high traffic volume.
13. Build a list
Build an email list. Give consistent value to your email list members. Nothing is more personal than being inside someone’s inbox. Take advantage of it and make them into your brand evangelists.
Also with major social media channels effectively killing organic reach for good, it will be a smart move to move your audiences to a platform you control completely — your email list.
First, drive traffic to your site. Then once the traffic is on your site, ask them to submit their email IDs in exchange for some awesome content (lead magnet or content upgrade). Once they sign up, win their hearts by delivering exclusive top quality content not available anywhere else.
Consistently giving value at a place where you are seen almost every day is a great way to engineer an awesome personal brand.

15. Be omnipresent online
16. Get into new social media channels fast
17. Repurpose your content like a pro
Repurpose your existing content across different content channels like Medium and LinkedIn. Take your existing article and record a video of you speaking about it, upload the video to Youtube and audio as a podcast.
Also, ONE hot way of standing out with your content in 2024 is by making infographics. Make an infographic out of your article using a simple design tool like Visme.co.
Search Engines love Infographics coz they simplify big complicated ideas into visually compelling and easy to understand images. It increases a visitor’s time on your site and also increases the chances of your content being shared in the community.
All this adds great karma points to your brand reputation.
So take your present content and add more modes of delivery to it.
18. Get a vanity URL
Get vanity URLs for all social media channels. The URL should either be your name/ your name + your niche / reflective of your niche.
Do not play around much with it. Don’t go artsy with fancy names that have nothing to do with your industry. Stick to basics and connect the name to an industry keyword.
This will be great for making the audience see a connection between you and your industry. Also, this will be great for Social Media organic search optimization.
19. Build a Facebook Group to propel your personal branding
Apart from building a list, FB groups are another way to build a constant relationship with your target audience.
Simply start an FB group in your niche, and provide consistent value to your group members through high-quality content. Solve their problems, talk about the latest trends, share the latest hacks and tools, do everything to win their confidence.
The more value you provide, the more your target audience will see you as a leader in your industry.
Building your personal brand on Facebook goes a long way as this is where people spend most of their time. The key is to focus on groups, not on business pages.
20. Ask questions
Humans are social animals. We love to share and tell stories. Hence everyone loves a good listener.
A primary way to build a relationship with your email list and FB group is by asking questions. This will help you get critical insights and also build a rapport with strangers.
21. Have a professional email signature
Email signatures will be the visiting cards of 2024. So have an email signature which stands out from the crowd.
Put your headshot in the signature along with all your social profiles. This way your email will stand out on a pitch.
Use a free tool like HubSpot Email Signature Template Generator or a paid tool like Wisestamp to get this done right.
Your personal branding image will skyrocket after this.
22. Do what the pros do
23. Network with influencers
Start expanding your network by connecting with other members of the industry on Social Media. Type your industry keywords on Facebook and LinkedIn and join all the top groups which come up as results.
Once there, start giving real value without an intention to sell. This way you will be seen as a valuable member of the community and not an annoying salesperson.
Your ultimate aim should be to give so much value that your name becomes synonymous with everything good about your industry.
The value-first mindset to connect with influencers
Networking tools and hacks
Connect with influencers using networking tools like Alfred or Duxsoup. These tools will help you send automatic connection requests to industry filtered members on LinkedIn. For finding email IDs of influencers, you can use a tool like FindThatLead.
Another way to connect with influencers is by joining their courses/paid mastermind groups. Once a part of the group, provide upfront value to all the members to get on the radar of the influencer.
24. Get on major media platforms
List the top magazines, podcasts, TV shows, YouTube channels in your niche and approach them to feature you. You can pitch them to have you as a guest panelist, contributor, columnist or them doing a story on you.
To do this right, you need to first build relationships with these platforms. Use the same value-first mindset and offer your help or something of high value for free.
Once you get their attention, pitch them to feature you on their platform. Show them the value you can offer to their audiences with proven results of your work.
To do this right, you can use a tool like Mediakito. It will create a beautiful looking media kit for you where you can list and leverage your past achievements and features.
Once accepted, give actionable value and do not hold back. The goal is to win the hearts of the platform’s audiences. In the end, offer the audience a free cheatsheet or strategy call in exchange for them signing up for your newsletter.
Leverage media logos to build authority
25. Be helpful and have a knowledge-based mindset
26. Document and showcase results
27. Do webinars and live streaming
There is something about webinars and live streaming which connects more than perhaps any other form of content. Maybe it is the LIVE nature of things or the interactive value feature which adds to the excitement.
Also, it has never been easier to do webinars and live streaming than now, with free platforms like FB Live, Youtube Live, and Periscope.
Apart from that, you can take advantage of various paid but cheap webinar software like Demio which allow you to collect leads.
Do webinars with pure value and no sales intent. Add your personal touch to it by being yourself, sharing personal stories and epiphanies along the way. It will make you charismatic and relatable to your audience.
28. Create chatbots
29. Invest in paid ads
30. Get on YouTube
- Search for your keyword on YouTube and see YouTube’s search suggest recommendations. These are keywords which people are actually searching for while looking for your topic.
- Go to a famous channel in your niche and search for the most popular videos. Click on them and see the tags they are using. Use a tool like VidIQ chrome extension to do this.
- Make a list of all the keywords and tags you collected and then go for the ones with low-level of competition.
- Try to use your main keyword at the beginning of the title and also use them as tags.
- Write a thorough video description, describing what your video is all about and the things the viewer is going to learn. Use the main keyword naturally wherever possible.
2. Content Optimization – Be energetic and expressive in your videos. Start with a hook where you state what will the viewer learn from watching this video. Hype it up by saying what all will you reveal by the end of the video.
Mention the main keyword early in the video and use it wherever it feels natural to do so. Deliver on the promise by giving real transformational value so they are hooked till the end.
Have multiple Calls-to-actions to subscribe and comment on the video. The Youtube search engines will pick it up and show your video to people looking for that topic.
3. Design Optimization – Have attractive thumbnails having your picture along with the title of the video.
4. YouTube Funnel Optimization – Create a funnel with your videos by offering a free checklist or report which acts as “The Next Step” for the viewer after they watch your video.
Offer the checklist by making it available through a landing page where they can get it in exchange for their email.
5. Video Promotion – After optimizing, post the video on your blog post, social media and other forums as a helpful resource for someone looking to get answers on your topic.
6. Consistency – Be consistent on your video posting schedule. Make it a habit for your viewers to expect a video from you on a specific day. For example, you can have a YouTube banner which says – New videos posted every Monday and Friday.
For more YouTube optimization resources, I highly recommend checking this detailed article by Brian Dean of Backlinko.
31. Start a Podcast

Making it available through dropshipping and digital download
After you arrange the information in a book, you can put it on Amazon Kindle as a digital download or use a site like disk.com to drop ship the book to its destination.
Now, here’s where it starts to get really interesting!
After writing and editing your book, give it away for free and only charge for shipping.
Yes. FREE.
Now before you start to frown, hear me out.
Books hold tremendous power in making your brand impactful. They create a great initial touchpoint between your target audience and your brand.
Also, they are a very personal item and tend to quickly become an intimate part of people’s lives.
This can lead to amazing word of mouth exposure and formation of a loyal tribe. Imagine the number of sales and long-term brand equity you can generate from the tribe. Why restrict it all with a price tag?
So use the free + shipping method to quickly gain massive exposure and brand loyalty.
A great example of this is Russell Brunson’s now iconic book – Dotcom Secrets.
4. Merchandise giveaway
A great way to make your brand visible offline is by giving away your brand merchandise for free.
Create t-shirts, cup and other stationery items with your brand logo or catchphrase on it and give it away for free to your superfans.
These superfans will flaunt your merch with pride which in turn will lead to great word-of-mouth advertising.
The key here is to create merchandise only when you have built a sizable following so you can leverage your superfans to promote it.
Pro Tip – Use a site like printful.com to drop ship your t-shirts.

3. Tai Lopez
Knowing what they want, giving what they need
Getting niche with targeting
Take a step back and think. Will this same strategy appeal to CEOs, developers or Startup Founders?
It won’t. On the contrary, a lot of them might even look down on such marketing tactics. This is because they are experienced. They know the ins and outs of the industry and such marketing ploys.
But then again, they were not Tai’s audience at all!
Tai’s audiences were and are young adults. They are ambitious but without any experience or awareness.
The key to Tai’s personal branding success is his laser-focused targeting and appealing to this audience segment with things they care about most.
Key Takeaways:
1. Know your target audience and focus on creating content especially for them, even if it means alienating others.
2. Identify the emotions and lifestyle which appeals to your target audience and future pace them on that lifestyle by presenting your product as the medium to get there.
3. Use Social Media channels to target and retarget customers.
4. Dan Lok
Dan Lok is one of the highest paid business consultants in the world, and he has made his personal branding express that in a seamless fashion.
He echoes the result he promises to his customers by living the life they aspire to have.
Similar to Tai’s strategy but appealing more to the business executive and young consultant demography, he wears his brand on his sleeve with expensive suits, watches, and other luxury accessories.
He is also quite open about his failures and his journey to success (from being $150k in debt to becoming a multimillionaire). This story curve gives audiences a hero figure to look up to – a masterstroke in personal branding.
His YouTube Show “Boss in the Bentley” further adds to the aspirational aspect which young adults have about their lives.
The special thing about Dan is that his aspirational appearance perfectly blends with actual actionable content where he breaks down all the tools and strategies he uses to grow his businesses.
He shares footage of his high priced seminars and masterminds for free on Youtube. He explains this strategy as a branding exercise where the audience will get so much value from his free content that when he finally offers his paid content, it will be a no-brainer to buy from him.
His transformational content + proven results are intended to make his audiences feel the transformation in their heads (aka future pacing), thus giving them the psychological confidence to take action in reality.
All of this makes his personal brand very addictive for his audiences.
Key Takeaways:
1. Live what you preach. If you are talking about high ticket sales, make your lifestyle look the part.
2. Be open about your journey and your struggle. This will make your success look more remarkable, and your audience will look up to you for inspiration.
3. Back your appearance with actual valuable content, so your audiences can truly believe in the possibilities you promise them.
5. Brian Dean
Brian Dean’s name has become synonymous with SEO. He is regularly quoted by top industry experts like Neil Patel, Eric Siu, among others. He is also known in the industry for inventing the “Skyscraper” and “Guestographic” technique.
This is because Brian has managed to distinguish himself as one of the top SEO influencers through his site Backlinko.
The site is known for its exceptionally detailed guides on all things related to Search Engine Optimisation and conversion.
The strategy Brian follows is simple but highly powerful.
He does not publish content frequently, but when he does, he pulls no stops to make it look and feel exceptional, giving more value than any of his counterparts in the industry.
His content is detailed, insightful and filled with high-quality examples focused on giving transformational knowledge.
Creating these exceptional long-form pieces of content and optimizing them for SEO makes him stand out in his niche.
Also as earlier mentioned, he has invented some highly powerful strategies in SEO and given them unique names. So next time an SEO expert is writing about “guestographic strategy”, he is more than likely to attribute Brian on that, thus adding more weight to his personal brand.
Key Takeaways:
1. Create less content but when you do create it, pull no stops to make it exceptionally valuable to your industry.
2. Optimize the content for SEO so you can rank high and come on the first page of results whenever someone searches for the main keywords in your industry.
3. Share some strategies you use in your business and give unique names to them. Stick to those names and make them popular by making videos and blogs about them. Once the name catches on, you will be known as the inventor of the technique. This will bring a lot of traction and brownie points for your personal brand.
