How can you build a personal brand that makes you stand out in a sea of startup employees on social media?

And be honest and prepared to back up your skills with actual experience. Interviewing people for jobs I frequently encounter polished CVs and very little substance when I start probing. No issue if you only played an ancillary role in a project, but admit it and don't pretend you drove the whole thing.

Identify what sets you apart from others in your industry. What skills, experiences, or perspectives do you bring to the table? Clearly articulate your unique value proposition. Specialize in a particular niche within the startup or tech industry. Being an expert in a specific area can make you more memorable and sought after.

Key for me would be to think about what sets you apart from others in your peer group. Why would someone ask you for advice, and not someone with a similar background? Do you have experience in specific systems, do you have cross-cultural know-how, have worked in a turn-around case, whatever it is. Probably best to look at profiles similar to yours and then think about what lets you stand out.

Storytelling and communications are what I excel at. So, I chose to focus on helping startup founders and executives with that niche. It’s in the content I put out and the stories I share are geared toward showcasing that. Find that for yourself. It’s there. You need to reflect and tease it out of yourself. Focus on what people ask you for help with or what you keep coming back to. You’ll find it eventually.

Now I am well-known in Startups and VCs in Vietnam. 3 simple steps I apply: 1) Giving the knowledge: I write a lot about how to fundraise for startup founders And the founders subscribed to my blog (3,100 subs now) They consider that I am an expert in the field And when they need to fundraise, they will choose to contact me first 2) Distribute the content: I choose Linkedin, Facebook & Personal Blog to publish my content and attract my audience After 12 months, I have 12,000 followers on Linkedin, 10,000 followers on Facebook 3) Support the founders to have real case study

Being consistent in how often you produce valuable content gives your audience something to engage with on a regular basis and they will start to look out for your content (and expect it).

This where I tell founders and startups to focus on the story. These can personal, professional, industry, or anything that the audience can relate to. It’s this type of sharing that engages people. Then, tie it to your “why” and the reason the company exists in the first place. Be more focused on the outcome and service to others—rather than the product. This will set you apart in a sea of those just focused on metrics and outdoing each other.

In VC and in many other highly expert areas, it is actually pretty hard to say anything that is "useful" - i.e. original and helpful. A lot has been said before. The more you focus on your own actual experiences (storytelling, really), the better. The chances of you being able to say something original and helpful are much higher if you relate your own experiences and focus on those that taught you something.

Value comes in different forms. Building a personal brand in the venture capital space looks different depending on the person. Sometimes it’s great to be the motivator personal brand to help people push through challenges. Other times it’s great to be the educator personal brand to help people improve. Think about your tone of voice, content buckets, and the stories only you can share. The biggest thing to build a powerful personal brand is to stand out to be memorable.

Content is not king in all cases. It depends on what the purpose of your business is and how it affects your customers. Content may just be your marketing strategy to get potential customers to learn about you.

Make the time to engage with others. I can’t stress this enough. Spend more time one-to-one. Take calls. Drop in DMs. Connect authentically. No, it’s not perfectly scalable. But, word of mouth is still predominantly the best way for your people to share what they love about you. Make them ambassadors and advocates!

Wertsch?tzung, auch in Form von likes, kann zum Aufbau von Beziehungen beitragen. Wichtig ist es immer sehr authentisch zu bleiben.

Erfahrungen ja, aber bitte nicht nur dir ?wins“ teilen. Erfahrungen auch wenn es vielleicht Learnings aus schwierigeren Zeiten sind, k?nnen enorm helfen und resonieren meistens mehr als gesch?nte Selbstdarstellung.

Share personal stories and experiences that showcase your journey, challenges, and successes. Authenticity resonates with audiences and helps you connect on a human level.

Well, I honestly see too many certificates and the like. What I would be more interested in is how one mastered a difficult situation, personally or professionally. What can others learn from that?

Share your success on your socials and in your business circles. Showcasing achievements helps get new business. There is no better PR than good testimonials and happy customers!

Consideró que este es el punto más importante de todos, el Feedback correctamente utilizado es el principal diferenciador entre casos de éxito y fracaso, lastimosamente este también es uno de los principales motivos por los que muchas marcas y proyectos fracasan, no tengamos miedo a equivocarnos sino a no aprender de nuestros errores, hagamos uso de toda esa valiosa retroalimentación que podemos recibir de nuestros clientes y potenciales usuarios para generar cambios que aumenten el valor de nuestra marca, no nos cerremos al cambio ni a una sola perspectiva de lo ideal.

Wow - AI kicks out some weird stuff in these articles. Your personal brand is not something you "work on" - it is who you are. Just have the courage to show that and you will get what you deserve. Yes, you can learn how to amplify it and make your thoughts more digestible, but the fundamentals need to be honest.

In a word, authenticity. Your content shouldn't come off as performative or playing to the gallery. Don't lose sight of yourself while doing all the other things mentioned above.

Standing out in ‘sea of employees’ is about staying visible- once you’ve defined your target and messaging - let people see you! The old paradigm of work hard, keep you head down and you will be rewarded with success is falling away - being an advocate for yourself and making sure your name comes up in a conversation of ‘who do we know with <your experience/expertise> ‘ It boils down are you top of mind?

Consider how awful this and many AI-generated LinkedIn articles are. And also how much they have improved in the last 6 months...
