Episode #175: Why your Personal Brand Matters with Monique Bryan

Mar 30, 2022

Being the face of your brand can be a little intimidating — or downright scary! Many mompreneurs may not feel comfortable stepping in front of the camera and putting themselves out there, but the rise of the Instagram Age has made invisibility a risky choice. With more customers basing buying decisions on whether they feel aligned with a brand, putting your personality and values on display is becoming a must.

Yes, even for introverts!

Don’t worry, showing up doesn’t mean creating 10 Reels per day, posting every thought, or constantly going Live. You can show your audience who you are, how you serve, and what you stand for, without oversharing or seeming spammy. It’s about creating a curated yet authentic online presence that lets your dream clients relate to you AND understand the value you bring. All you need is a little bit of strategy!
