Branding Yourself

Basically, your "brand" is just the way that the general public perceives you and remembers you. For instance, you do not want to be like BP, a brand that is remembered for a huge oil spill. Instead, you may strive to be like Apple, which has a reputation for being reliable and cutting-edge.

One ingredient that goes into a brand is being consistent throughout all of your social media platforms. This means, using the same color scheme, design, layout, profile pictures, etc.
