The Importance of Blogging for Personal Branding

A great way to bolster your personal brand is through blogging.  In the modern world a personal brand is everything, especially for a media student like myself.  Your personal brand might be different than other people's which is why blogs are easily customizable to bolster your brand.  Two bloggers who do this extremely well are Tom from https://www.traveltomtom.net and Koko from https://www.atasteofkoko.com .  Both of these bloggers have extremely different personal brands, but they both use their blogs in an extremely effective way.

Tom is a travel blogger. Naturally the first thing you see when going to Tom's blog is some of his best pictures from his travels.  These pictures not only encapsulate the viewer, but they also tell the viewer right away that this is a travel blog.  Below that are all of Tom's blog posts about his experience in each place he travelled, and of course plenty of pictures

Koko is a travel and food blogger, but the opposite side of Tom.  Koko gives travel and food tips to people in Austin Texas.  She also posts a lot of lifestyle and wellness guides.  Her personal brand is much different than Tom's, but just as effective.  Her blog is filled with light cozy colors and is neatly organized with stunning pictures of her and food.  The layout of this blog reflects her brand, a lifestyle and wellness guru, and the pictures keep the reader on the page.

Blogging is important to a personal brand.  Your blog should reflect what it's about and always include pictures.  The more user friendly and nice to look at your blog is, the more viewers it will attract, and the more your personal brand will grow.
