Recap of What You’ve Learned
Personal Branding Crash Course

At its core, personal branding is how you market yourself to the world. It’s the perception people form about you based on your words, actions, and online presence. Unlike corporate branding, which promotes a company, personal branding revolves around an individual’s identity, expertise, and influence.

 

The Psychology Behind Branding and Perception

Humans naturally associate certain traits with people based on their presence, communication, and reputation. This is where branding psychology plays a key role.

🔹 First Impressions Matter – Studies suggest that people form an impression within 7 seconds of meeting someone. This applies online too—your profile picture, bio, and content shape how people perceive you.

🔹 Consistency Builds Trust – A brand that frequently shifts its tone, messaging, or values confuses people. The more consistent you are in how you present yourself, the stronger your personal brand becomes.

🔹 Authenticity is Key – People connect with real, relatable individuals. Trying to copy someone else’s brand will make you look inauthentic.
