Lately, I’ve been having conversations with people about personal branding.

One perspective really stood out.
A gentleman said, I would rather call it personal marketing.

His reasoning was simple:
When I post on Linkedin, Instagram, or TikTok, I am actively promoting myself and marketing my expertise. That’s personal marketing.

Over time, those consistent marketing efforts shape how people perceive me. That’s when it becomes personal branding.

He also made another interesting point.
The term personal branding can feel overwhelming, as if it’s something you’ve already achieved. In contrast, personal marketing feels like the first step something anyone can start doing today.

It got me thinking.
Maybe they’re not competing ideas at all.

What do you think?

Do you prefer the term personal branding or personal marketing?

If you’re a new business or startup, need a logo design and brand guidelines, how much does it cost and how many days it takes.

I am planning to subscribe Linkedin Sales Navigator but now sure whether it’s worth investing or not.

Do people really engage and respond using sales navigator or it’s just another Saas tool with no return?

Any experience and suggestions?

Any suggestion or idea where to launch personal branding app? What do you expect in personal branding app?

I am wondering what actually personal branding scope look like and what actually personal branding expert does and how much they cost? What should be the duration of personal branding? Does it grow automatically after certain of point? Do we need to continue spending money on it?

🤔

How important is personal branding? What it takes to build a good personal brand? Posting regularly on Linkedin uplift yourself a personal brand or it’s just being active. Any thoughts?
