Personal Brand Building (1-1-1 Content Strategy)

career · medium · 3-5 hours per week

What is Personal Brand Building (1-1-1 Content Strategy)?

Build authority in your field by publishing one piece of content per week: 1 long-form post (blog/article), 1 short-form post (LinkedIn/Twitter), and 1 comment on someone else's content. Consistency over virality. In 6 months, you'll be recognized as someone who knows their stuff.

Is there evidence for it?
