How do you build a personal brand without being pompous cringe?

I am building my personal brand (trying to) But oversight is, the strategy seems all over the place Do you/have you created? 1. What are the platforms you focus on? 2. Paid subscriptions that have help you in the journey Any advice in general is also welcome.

I seem to be at a loss as a marketer in the age of noise and hidden ads. Google meta and Amazon control most of the global online ad market and distribution channels. If you have enough money to throw on ads, great. Maybe you'll get somewhere and figure it out. But unless your product is exceptional and so is your luck, you will most likely get beaten by an average competitor with deeper pockets. Building distribution has become all important these days. Can it be done without spending a lot of money though? The only possible solution imo seems to be building a personal brand. But not everyone's interested in being a creator either. What options do they have? Marketing and sales walon, any thoughts?

Have you been able to build a personal brand on LinkedIn? If yes, share: 1. What industry do you belong to? 2. What's the most important metric for you? 3. What are some key learnings/realisations?

Hi folks, I have freelanced on upwork earlier and maximum reached $20/hour in development gigs but got burned out by constant pressure of rebidding once the current project gets over. The profile is still 5 star rated but getting full time job through these freelancing platform require lots of marketing and bidding and it’s difficult with day job. However recently I have seem trend where there are some genuine folks such as harkirat who are upping the game by earning around 5 crore annually through posh remote jobs. Has anyone of you tried pursuing that route by reaching out to founders of early stage startups on twitter/linked in or used freelancing portals such as upwork to get full time gigs which pays more than $100k remotely. If yes please share some guidance. My stack: Mern /java full stack dev exp:7 years Video ref: https://youtu.be/8gbLg8MCWqg?si=OBAsoEvJPG3e1mSH

Thanks to year end holidays, after reading recent news and wasting time on reels - I felt, Ankur warikoo is the English medium version of Vivek Bindra, reasoning here is - 1. Same rags to riches story (overwhelming) 2. Sudden rise with no backstory 3. Course selling by dubious promises 4. Immature, vulnerable target audience 5. Over advertisements Any other insights?

As the caption says, I am keen to explore if there are any examples of real life benefits of LinkedIn activity. I am afraid to fall in cringe-bucket, at the same time get FoMo of remaining invisible to corporate pigs. Any thoughts? ( just like LinkedIn style;) ) P.S. - my latest LinkedIn activity stat : 1 hiring post in last 6 months.

The rat race amidst people working in corporates is inevitable. Everybody wants to win it. But nobody knows the true finish line of their career. While it feels intriguing to read fancy corporate jargons & success stories on LinkedIn, it adds an overwhelming pressure in you to a level you can’t recover from. I have stopped using LinkedIn. I do not want to declare to the world that I got a promotion working in Tolaram & sons pvt. Ltd. I do not want to show the world that I have got a character certificate from a random.com site. Neither do I want to see how others are faring in this rat race. I read books, I visit blogs on internet of my choice, I write blogs(not on LinkedIn) & that keeps me stay away from this rat race. I too am successful. What’s your mantra to stay motivated as a corporate employee? Comment.
