What's good everybody? This is your boy B Money. We're on another episode of the A Lot of Fashions podcast. And what we're primarily talking about here on the podcast is everything business. Whether it be the industry or you know, everything business. But make sure that you hit that like button, make sure that you subscribe, and make sure that you share with your family and friends everything that we talk about here and all our other episodes. And make sure you miswatch those other episodes because they're very pivotal information that can help you uh change the growth of your brand, your business, and both. So make sure you tap in. Now, what we've been talking about on this season and you know this latest series is building a product from nothing, mainly a physical product, and you know we're gonna get right into. So the power of building a personal brand is the main subject here today. And you know, what we mainly want to draw in here is people trust people before they even touch or you know, tap into the business. So in today's world, you have to, you know, really focus in on your presence as part of your business. Um, number one is why finders must be visible. Consumers, you know, connect emotionally with people more than they do with the problem. So if they have you know a solid um, I guess you could say, storyline, story, you know, telling method, they're authentic with how they, you know, live their lifestyle. When they start to incorporate that product in their lifestyle, people resonate with it. People already see the core message behind what that person is already doing. That's why a lot of times when brands blow up, they blow up because they have a physical presence, say a celebrity, that comes in where their product aligns with the message behind the product and the brand. And it's that physical person that people can almost touch physically and see what the action, everything actually means behind what they're doing. The next thing is, you know, finding the founder visibility builds the trust. You know, personal brands increase uh businesses' opportunities when they actually have, you know, that in place. Um, a lot of brands, even smaller brands, are starting to go with you know the TikTok shop and being an affiliate of you know different brands just in order to gain visibility, brand awareness behind what they're doing, and trying to, you know, collaborate in a sense with other brands by you know putting their product out there. Um, you know, it's better to have a founderland type company than to have like, you know, a corporation full of different bodies and nobody really in the face of it. Um, you just mainly have a product as a face because nowadays people don't really have too much of an imagination and they really don't understand um stories because they're so you know quick with their attention span. Um, you know, you want to create that audience uh familiarity, whether it's creating shorter videos, um having more information packed in, but in shorter and in detail uh messaging. And then on top of that, you know, you want to have a relationship-driven type business where you're able to create different events for the community to tap into with your business, and the products that you're putting out there align with, you know, saying the community as well. Number two is telling the story behind the business. The story creates an emotional investment with the customer, and it almost starts to create that investment to where the customer feels like they're part of every step that you're taking as an entrepreneur. So authenticity builds that loyalty, it builds that, you know, that foundation that you need in order to not only scale your business, but to build a solid community to where people become uh consistent customers. Um, that transparency builds, you know, and strengthens the credibility of your brand. So every time that you put out a post, every time that you put out a product, every time you put out a new project or collection, they start to adapt, they start to relate, and they also buy once you put it out instead of taking time to actually digest each information. Um the next thing is sharing your struggles, documenting the process, you know what I'm saying? Sharing each step of the journey so that way, like I said, the customer feels and relates to you and the message behind the brand. Number three is visibility creates opportunity. Opportunities only come through exposure. You gotta create that exposure for your brand, whether it's through paid ads, whether it's through high-quality content that creates that organic um engagement, or you know, both. And it's gotta be straight consistency, as I've said in all the episodes that I've put out, you know, when it comes to gaining that attention. Because, like I said on the live stream earlier today, when you have consistency not only in how you put out content, but when you post the content, say even if you have a group of people that you have that's say liking your post uh as soon as you put it out there, they'll those people gotta like it immediately every time. Just so that way, each time that the new post comes out, it gains more viewers than the last post. That's how you start to gain that um viable traction behind your posts and your brand. Social media is leverage. A lot of people, you know, continue to think of it as, you know what I'm saying, oh, I really don't need it. But in a sense, in the way the world is becoming way more and more digital, you need it, bro. And we all need it. It's just a matter of you gotta be consistent as you are in your day-to-day actions on social media versus, you know what I'm saying, just posting it, you know, when you feel like it. Like it don't work like that. It's it everything works the same in a sense. If you put in the hard work, you take care of it, like you know what I'm saying, you take care of your house, and most of y'all are only gonna take care of your house good. So that was probably a bad example, but at the end of the day, if you take care of it like you know, cleanliness snakes to godliness, and you actually put pour that love into every piece of oh, I guess you could say, uh aspect of your business, then you're gonna win. And it's gonna start to develop those opportunities, those partnerships, and collaborations. Because, like I said, man, when you have people trusting you, it's gonna do well for your business. So keep visualizing your purpose, put up a solid plan, start executing that motherfucker, and all your dreams and goals will start to come to fruition. Keep visualizing I am out.
