- 0:00Having a personal brand is arguably the
- 0:02biggest shortcut that exists today to
- 0:03grow a business.
- 0:06Wherever you look, business owners who
- 0:08have started creating content are
- 0:10growing at a speed that was totally
- 0:12unthinkable just a few years ago.
- 0:15But there is a problem, almost every
- 0:16sector is already packed with people
- 0:18making videos.
- 0:20So if you are building your personal
- 0:22brand without a clear focus and strategy
- 0:25, it is very, very difficult for anyone
- 0:27to notice you.
- 0:29The good news is that there is a method
- 0:32for building personal brands that works
- 0:34in practically any sector.
- 0:36It is the path followed by personal
- 0:38brands that actually generate revenue,
- 0:40and it is exactly what we apply at my
- 0:42agency with the businesses we work with
- 0:44.
- 0:44So in this video, I am going to explain
- 0:47that method from beginning to end and
- 0:49tell you step-by-step how to build a
- 0:52personal brand that works today.
- 0:55It will be a practical four-step roadmap
- 0:58that you can apply over the next 90 days
- 1:00and that will completely change the way
- 1:02you see content and personal branding.
- 1:06By the way, if you don't know me, I'm
- 1:08Ana, founder of the agency Tu madre, an
- 1:10agency in Madrid dedicated to creating
- 1:12viral content for businesses.
- 1:14And what I am going to tell you is not
- 1:16theory. I built my own personal brand in
- 1:19less than a year. I’ve surpassed 200,000
- 1:22followers and today more than 100 people
- 1:24write to me every day interested in
- 1:26working with me. And it hasn't just
- 1:28worked for me, it has also worked for my
- 1:30clients. For example, Tristán, the
- 1:32auctioneer. With him, we went from 2,000
- 1:35to 235,000 followers in less than three
- 1:37months.
- 1:38In addition, I train students who want
- 1:41to learn how to do exactly this. Before
- 1:43we start, I need to clarify one thing
- 1:45about the title.
- 1:47Obviously, a personal brand is not
- 1:48something you do in 90 days and it's
- 1:50done.
- 1:52That would be absurd and, in fact, goes
- 1:53against what having a personal brand
- 1:55means.
- 1:57But I present it this way because if you
- 1:59do exactly what I’m going to tell you
- 2:02over the next 90 days, you will lay such
- 2:04solid foundations that your growth will
- 2:06skyrocket and that growth will continue
- 2:08to multiply as your personal brand
- 2:10matures.
- 2:12The first three steps of this process
- 2:14are about positioning and strategy, and
- 2:16I tell you this clearly.
- 2:19Whatever people say, this is the most
- 2:21important part, the real secret.
- 2:24If I were starting today, I would
- 2:25dedicate the first few days of those 90
- 2:27just to getting this well defined, and
- 2:30you can define your positioning by
- 2:31answering three questions.
- 2:33The first question is the goal: what do
- 2:36you want this personal brand for?
- 2:38And which of the two personal branding
- 2:40games do you want to play, because there
- 2:42are two very different paths.
- 2:44The first is becoming famous on a large
- 2:46scale, reaching a lot of people, and the
- 2:49second is becoming known to a very
- 2:50specific audience and converting those
- 2:52people into clients efficiently.
- 2:55I know what you're thinking, Ana, I want
- 2:57both things. That's normal, everyone
- 3:00says that, but look at it another way.
- 3:03Do you want to be famous to everyone, to
- 3:05be known by absolutely everyone, or do
- 3:07you want to be famous within your sector
- 3:09?
- 3:09Both games have good things and bad
- 3:11things.
- 3:13The first, that of the great business
- 3:15communicators that everyone knows, those
- 3:17who appear everywhere and whose videos
- 3:19reach a student just as much as a
- 3:21retiree.
- 3:22And then there are the even more extreme
- 3:25cases, creators who are famous globally
- 3:27, but within the business world, people
- 3:29who play this first game seek to reach
- 3:31everyone and be accepted by everyone.
- 3:34In this game, you earn much more money
- 3:36in total, but you also have to put up
- 3:38with all the bad things that come with
- 3:41being truly famous. In the other game,
- 3:43that of becoming known among a specific
- 3:45audience and converting well, you build
- 3:47your personal brand in a completely
- 3:49different way. You also want many people
- 3:52to know you, for them to follow you with
- 3:54great loyalty, but only within your
- 3:56sector, without needing to go beyond
- 3:58that.
- 3:59Think of the physical therapist known by
- 4:02all the runners in their city, the
- 4:03lawyer everyone in their trade goes to,
- 4:06or the real estate agent everyone in
- 4:08their area follows.
- 4:09Along with your mother, I am in the
- 4:12second group, and very happy. This is
- 4:14the game I play, and here it is much
- 4:16faster to start from scratch and stand
- 4:18out, and you will surely earn much more
- 4:20money per follower, but your presence
- 4:22will be smaller and you won't have the
- 4:24advantages that come with being famous
- 4:26on a large scale.
- 4:27Like everything in life, both models
- 4:29work and with either one you can build a
- 4:32huge business, but they require very
- 4:34different content strategies. Later in
- 4:37this same video, we will return to the
- 4:39content strategy and I will give you my
- 4:41own example.
- 4:42With over 200,000 followers, not
- 4:44everyone knows me on the street, and I'm
- 4:46not looking for that, but within the
- 4:48world of business owners who want to
- 4:50grow with content, they do know me, and
- 4:52that's why over 100 people write to me
- 4:54every day interested in working with me
- 4:56, and I can also bill more than 100,000
- 4:58euros a week with the followers I have.
- 5:01That is what this second game gives you
- 5:03. You might have fewer followers than a
- 5:06TV celebrity, but each one of them is
- 5:09worth much more to your business.
- 5:12And one last important thing: it is very
- 5:14difficult to start by focusing on a
- 5:16specific audience within your sector and
- 5:18later open up to the general public.
- 5:21That is what many of the biggest names
- 5:23have done, but the opposite is extremely
- 5:26difficult: starting out known by
- 5:27everyone and then trying to become the
- 5:29go-to person in a specific sector.
- 5:32That's why I insist on this so much, so
- 5:34while I was telling you about the two
- 5:36games, you surely already thought about
- 5:38which one you want to play. Keep that
- 5:40answer in mind as we continue with the
- 5:42rest of the method. The second
- 5:43positioning question is: who am I
- 5:45talking to? You have to be super clear
- 5:48about this. Who is the ideal person I
- 5:50want to watch my videos?
- 5:52And this almost certainly goes hand in
- 5:53hand with the game you chose in the
- 5:55first question.
- 5:56For example, my client Tristán, the real
- 5:58estate auction expert, doesn't want
- 6:00everyone to watch him; he wants people
- 6:03who want to invest, or want to invest in
- 6:05housing but don't know auctions exist or
- 6:08are afraid of them.
- 6:09Knowing that is worth so much because it
- 6:11allows him to plan each video, in both
- 6:14what he says and what is shown, to
- 6:15attract exactly that person.
- 6:18In my case, to give you another example
- 6:20, I make videos thinking about business
- 6:22owners who want to get more clients
- 6:23through content, or people who want to
- 6:25build their personal brand.
- 6:27And if you are one of them and you are
- 6:29watching this, it means I am doing it
- 6:31right.
- 6:32But the real reason why this is so
- 6:34important is that when you have it clear
- 6:36, you can set up what I call an ideal
- 6:37client filter.
- 6:39It is very simple. Every time I am going
- 6:41to make a video I ask myself, will this
- 6:43be useful to the person I want to
- 6:44attract? If the answer is yes, I
- 6:46consider making it. If it is no, I don't
- 6:48even make the video. I know that for
- 6:50some, defining your ideal client might
- 6:52seem like a total waste of time because
- 6:54you might think, "Well, if I post, the
- 6:56algorithm will just find people for me,
- 6:58so what's the point?"
- 7:00The true value of the exercise is that
- 7:02it helps you filter which ideas to
- 7:04execute and which ones not to, because
- 7:06most people don't define who they're
- 7:08talking to, ending up making very
- 7:09general videos, then more general ones,
- 7:11and even more general ones.
- 7:14I call this chasing views for the sake
- 7:16of views.
- 7:17When you're clear about who you want to
- 7:19attract, you stop chasing numbers that
- 7:21only serve to show off.
- 7:23In that case, you get more views, and
- 7:25over time, that makes your message
- 7:26generic and stops it from reaching the
- 7:28person who would actually buy from you.
- 7:31So, little by little, if you don't do
- 7:33this exercise, your audience grows, but
- 7:35they buy less and less from you. Setting
- 7:37up that filter for yourself is
- 7:38incredibly easy. I ask my students to
- 7:40write down a very specific sentence.
- 7:42I call it the angle. It consists of
- 7:44filling this in.
- 7:45I help this type of person achieve this
- 7:48thing using this method.
- 7:50For Tristan, it would be something like
- 7:51this. I help people who want to invest
- 7:53in real estate buy cheaper thanks to
- 7:55auctions.
- 7:57In my case, it would be "I help business
- 7:58owners get clients with content that
- 8:00goes viral."
- 8:01Again, it's a simple and quick exercise
- 8:04, but it's essential. And now comes the
- 8:07third question of positioning, which is
- 8:09where the bulk of the work really lies.
- 8:11The first two might take you five
- 8:13minutes, but the third is much deeper.
- 8:16It's what I call the pillars of your
- 8:17personal brand. Almost everyone who
- 8:19wants to grow their personal brand has
- 8:21two major fears. The first: how am I
- 8:23going to create this content day after
- 8:25day? And the second: how will I stand
- 8:27out in my sector if everyone is already
- 8:29there? Let's focus on the second one
- 8:31because this method helps you stand out
- 8:33significantly. We'll look at how to
- 8:35create the content in a moment. The
- 8:37pillars of a personal brand. There are
- 8:38four pillars that are the foundation of
- 8:40any personal brand.
- 8:42All the people you admire and would like
- 8:45to be like have a very clear stance on
- 8:47each of them, and I promise that having
- 8:49them clear before you start recording
- 8:51will help you a lot because they set
- 8:53boundaries for making decisions.
- 8:55And you're probably already seeing where
- 8:57I'm going with this. Winning with a
- 8:59personal brand isn't about adding things
- 9:00; it's about taking them away.
- 9:02When you start creating content, you can
- 9:05talk about anything, to anyone, in any
- 9:07way, on any social network.
- 9:09You have the whole world to choose from
- 9:11. Simply put, building a personal brand
- 9:13is about setting limits for yourself.
- 9:15What you talk about, who you talk to,
- 9:17how you tell it, and where you post it.
- 9:21And the funny thing, even if it seems
- 9:22the opposite, is that the clearer and
- 9:24stricter those limits are, the easier it
- 9:26is for people to decide if they want to
- 9:28be part of your world or not.
- 9:31And it's also easier for the algorithm
- 9:33to know who to show your videos to.
- 9:36So, let's go over the four pillars.
- 9:38Pillar one, how much do you narrow down
- 9:39your sector? This pillar answers a
- 9:40question: how much are you going to
- 9:42broaden or narrow your focus within your
- 9:44industry? The easiest way to see it is
- 9:46with a target.
- 9:47If we did it with my personal brand, the
- 9:49center of the target would be viral
- 9:51content for business owners.
- 9:53The next circle, a bit further out,
- 9:55would be viral content for anyone.
- 9:58The next one, growing on social media in
- 10:00general.
- 10:01Another, further out, any type of
- 10:03advertising or promotion in a place.
- 10:05And the outermost circle, the largest
- 10:07one, would be the world of business in
- 10:09general. The more specific you are, the
- 10:11closer you are to the center of the
- 10:13target, the easier and faster it will be
- 10:16to dominate that space. Because you are
- 10:18reducing the ground on which you compete
- 10:19. Obviously, that reduces the total
- 10:21number of people you could reach, but
- 10:23honestly, that is perfectly fine. Almost
- 10:25all markets are much larger than you
- 10:27imagine, and you don't need that many
- 10:29people to build a huge business. The
- 10:32idea is that instead of just having your
- 10:34target drawn, as you gain authority and
- 10:36have more results to show, you gradually
- 10:39open up to larger circles.
- 10:41And once again, this exercise helps you
- 10:43filter.
- 10:44The simplest way to grow a personal
- 10:46brand quickly is for it to fit very well
- 10:48with four things: the content, the
- 10:50audience, what you sell, and the results
- 10:52you can prove.
- 10:53I'll continue with my example. I have
- 10:55decided to stay on purpose in the center
- 10:57of the target, and I only create content
- 10:59that is useful to that type of person.
- 11:01And by working so specifically, I can do
- 11:03several things. First, always choose
- 11:05topics that really matter to my ideal
- 11:07client. Second, use examples and
- 11:09problems that those people experience
- 11:11every day.
- 11:12And third, speak with the same words
- 11:14that those people use in their heads.
- 11:17And fourth, most importantly, I have
- 11:18results that prove what I say. That's
- 11:21why when a business owner sees Tristán's
- 11:23case, they identify with it and think,
- 11:24this could happen to me. On the other
- 11:26hand, if I were to talk about something
- 11:28much broader like growing on any social
- 11:30network, I wouldn't have the proof or
- 11:32the authority because my specialty isn't
- 11:34growing accounts on every existing
- 11:35network. I also wouldn't be as precise
- 11:38with the topics that interest a business
- 11:40owner. One out of every two or three
- 11:42videos would end up talking about things
- 11:44they don't care about.
- 11:46If we placed other profiles in each
- 11:47circle of the target, it would look like
- 11:49this.
- 11:50In the center would be me, helping
- 11:52business owners go viral and get clients
- 11:54.
- 11:55In the next circle would be creators who
- 11:57teach anyone how to grow on social media
- 11:59.
- 11:59In the next, those who talk about
- 12:01growing with content on any platform.
- 12:03A bit further out, the experts in
- 12:05advertising and promotion in general.
- 12:08And in the outermost circle, the
- 12:09business world, where the big names
- 12:11everyone knows are.
- 12:13As you can see, if you have a business
- 12:15and want to make it go viral, you know
- 12:17my videos will be useful more often,
- 12:19because it is literally the only thing I
- 12:21talk about.
- 12:23The further you move from the general
- 12:25circles, you might learn things from
- 12:26those other profiles, but you will also
- 12:28find a lot of videos that don't help you
- 12:30because they touch on topics you don't
- 12:32care about.
- 12:34Usually for the viewer, the more
- 12:36specific the content is, the sooner they
- 12:38find the solution to their problem.
- 12:40And mind you, this is not a criticism of
- 12:42anyone, I'm just telling you that it
- 12:44helps you a lot to define your sector
- 12:46well with this target, because you want
- 12:48to cover 100%of what the exact person
- 12:50you want to sell to needs.
- 12:52This exercise will help you filter the
- 12:54topics, the message, and the problems
- 12:56you talk about and everything you
- 12:58transmit on the internet.
- 13:00And now let's move on to the second
- 13:01pillar, which is also very important:
- 13:03your contrarian beliefs.
- 13:05If you have been following me for a
- 13:06while, you know that I repeat this a lot
- 13:07. You need to have opinions that go
- 13:09against what everyone else is saying.
- 13:11Why? Because the easiest way to stand
- 13:13out in a crowded sector is to tell
- 13:15people things that no one else says or
- 13:17that go against what is taken for
- 13:19granted.
- 13:20If you think exactly the same as
- 13:21everyone else, you will be a smaller
- 13:23copy of whoever is already leading that
- 13:24discourse and you will always lose.
- 13:28That is why you need new ways of seeing
- 13:30things, new ways of doing them,
- 13:31something the market hasn't seen.
- 13:34Now, I also have to tell you that it's
- 13:36very hard to sit down one day and
- 13:38suddenly write down every contrarian
- 13:40opinion you've had in your life. That's
- 13:42why I recommend you create what I call a
- 13:44contrarian opinion notebook.
- 13:48It's simply a note on your phone or a
- 13:50document where you jot down every
- 13:52unconventional idea you have the moment
- 13:54it occurs to you, and it's super easy.
- 13:57Every time you're watching a video from
- 13:59someone in your industry and you catch
- 14:01yourself thinking, "What is this guy or
- 14:03girl saying? They have no idea," that is
- 14:05the moment to write down what you think
- 14:07.
- 14:08That is a new contrarian opinion. And
- 14:11the good thing about doing this is that
- 14:12the more you pay attention to what you
- 14:14think and the more you write it down,
- 14:15the more you will train that way of
- 14:17thinking. When I analyze the best
- 14:19personal brands, I see that almost all
- 14:21of them have a few big themes where they
- 14:24go against the grain, followed by
- 14:26several smaller opinions that support
- 14:28those big themes.
- 14:30For example, in my case, one of my big
- 14:32contrarian ideas is that a business
- 14:34doesn't need millions of followers to
- 14:36make money; it needs the right people to
- 14:38watch it, and the video must be designed
- 14:41from the first second so those people
- 14:43end up buying.
- 14:45While everyone tells you to post more,
- 14:47chase views, and upload a video every
- 14:50single day, I tell you that a view that
- 14:52doesn't buy is useless to you and that
- 14:54it’s pointless to upload daily videos—
- 14:57it's better to make two great ones a
- 14:59week.
- 15:00And around that big idea, I have a bunch
- 15:03of smaller ideas that support it. Almost
- 15:05all personal brands have between three
- 15:07and five big contrarian ideas that
- 15:09become the messages they repeat over and
- 15:11over again.
- 15:13As I said, you don't need to have them
- 15:15all right now, but you should start
- 15:17asking yourself on what major topics you
- 15:19think differently than the rest of your
- 15:21industry.
- 15:22When your entire industry is heading in
- 15:24one direction, you head in another.
- 15:27And that works so well because people
- 15:29are constantly looking for new ways to
- 15:31solve the same old problems that haven't
- 15:34been fixed yet.
- 15:36And I never tire of repeating it: if you
- 15:39don't have any contrarian beliefs, no
- 15:41different way of seeing things, you
- 15:43won't stand out in your industry.
- 15:46Let's move on to the third pillar: the
- 15:47associations and objects that identify
- 15:49you. You don't need to have this figured
- 15:52out in the first few days, but you do
- 15:53need to understand why it's important
- 15:55and start giving it some thought.
- 15:57Building a personal brand is ultimately
- 16:00about creating major associations,
- 16:02meaning getting people to connect you
- 16:05with certain messages, people, places,
- 16:07and ideas repeated so many times that
- 16:09the connection happens automatically in
- 16:12their minds.
- 16:13A very useful exercise is asking
- 16:15yourself which words or topics you want
- 16:17people to associate you with. For
- 16:19example, in my case, I want to be
- 16:21associated with business owners, viral
- 16:23content, turning views into customers,
- 16:25and a clear method for creating content
- 16:27.
- 16:28And to achieve that, I talk about these
- 16:30things as much as I can, because the
- 16:32more I mention them and provide
- 16:34practical, unique value, the stronger
- 16:36that connection is burned into your mind
- 16:38and the faster you'll remember me when
- 16:40thinking about those topics.
- 16:43The same thing happens with objects.
- 16:46If you always film in the same spot,
- 16:48always wear a specific piece of clothing
- 16:50or accessory, or, for example, film
- 16:52yourself with a fork and a microphone,
- 16:54like I did for a long time, if that same
- 16:57detail always appears in your video,
- 16:59you’re doing it to embed yourself in
- 17:01people's memory.
- 17:03That way, when they think of you, those
- 17:05objects will pop into their heads,
- 17:07making it easier for them to remember
- 17:09you and, most importantly, the ideas you
- 17:11want to be associated with.
- 17:14Think of any creator you've been
- 17:15following for a while. I'm sure their
- 17:18hat, glasses, style, beard, the place
- 17:21where they film, or how they start every
- 17:23single one of their videos comes to mind
- 17:26.
- 17:27It is much easier for us to remember
- 17:29objects than faces or names.
- 17:31That is why using objects in your
- 17:33personal brand helps you immensely in
- 17:35creating those associations in people's
- 17:37minds.
- 17:38And again, this isn't something you have
- 17:40to solve today. You don't need to start
- 17:42thinking right now about which object to
- 17:44use, but you do need to understand one
- 17:46idea.
- 17:48The more you repeat and show something
- 17:50related to you, the more it sticks to
- 17:51your image in others 'memories.
- 17:54And that is precisely where the memory
- 17:55of a personal brand is built.
- 17:58A good exercise is to ask yourself, if I
- 18:00could buy one, two, or three words in
- 18:02someone else's head, which would I buy
- 18:04and how much would I pay for them?
- 18:07It's like advertising on Google, but
- 18:09inside someone's memory. Those are the
- 18:12things you want to be associated with.
- 18:14And to buy that space in their head, you
- 18:16just have to repeat them more often.
- 18:19And now, the fourth and final pillar:
- 18:22what makes you different. And in that
- 18:24pillar, you really do have to dedicate
- 18:26time to analyzing those who are already
- 18:27in your sector.
- 18:29When you enter a sector where there are
- 18:31still few people creating content, you
- 18:32win with almost any strategy.
- 18:35You just need to show up and post
- 18:36consistently, and you end up dominating
- 18:38that niche.
- 18:40Obviously, the better your content is
- 18:41and the more effort you put in, the
- 18:43sooner you'll achieve it.
- 18:45But in a vacant sector, the only thing
- 18:47you need is to be there.
- 18:49The problem is that most sectors, on
- 18:51YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and social
- 18:53media, are already quite full.
- 18:56That's why you now have to find what
- 18:57makes you different if you want to carve
- 18:59out a niche and succeed.
- 19:01And there are basically five things you
- 19:03can use to differentiate yourself.
- 19:05Think about your sector right now, open
- 19:06Instagram or TikTok, and search for what
- 19:08you do. You'll surely find dozens of
- 19:10profiles talking about the same thing,
- 19:12with the same tips, and filmed in the
- 19:14same way. If you do exactly the same,
- 19:17people have no reason to stick with you
- 19:19.
- 19:19However, if you find something that
- 19:21makes you different, even if it's small
- 19:23, you now have a reason for them to
- 19:25choose you.
- 19:27You can differentiate yourself by the
- 19:29topic, how in-depth you go, the person
- 19:31you're speaking to, the format, or how
- 19:33it looks.
- 19:35Simply put: talk about topics no one
- 19:37else is discussing, cover them with a
- 19:39depth no one has reached, speak to an
- 19:41audience no one is serving well, present
- 19:43it in a way no one in your sector uses,
- 19:45or even take something someone else uses
- 19:47, change it, and tell it differently
- 19:49using something that already works.
- 19:53Or make your videos look different from
- 19:55the rest, both in how you film them and
- 19:56how you edit them.
- 19:58For example, to me, the most useful
- 20:00exercise you can do is to analyze your
- 20:02main competitors across these five
- 20:04things to see how they're doing it and
- 20:06what gaps are being left open.
- 20:08After that, you have to take a clear
- 20:10stance on how you want to create your
- 20:11content and work in that direction.
- 20:14This is important because the more open
- 20:16gaps you find before you start posting,
- 20:18the easier it will be to adjust your
- 20:20strategy to take advantage of them from
- 20:22day one.
- 20:23If you do this exercise with five or ten
- 20:26main competitors, I assure you that you
- 20:28will see clearly what you need to do
- 20:30with your content to stand out much
- 20:33faster. This entire exercise we just did
- 20:35, the three questions and, above all,
- 20:38the four pillars of the third one, is
- 20:40what I call your personal brand
- 20:42positioning map, which, in short, is
- 20:44your angle. Both you and the person
- 20:46handling content on your team need to do
- 20:49this exercise and write down every
- 20:51single one of the answers.
- 20:53And when I say write it down, I really
- 20:55mean it. It’s not enough to just have it
- 20:57in your head.
- 20:58Open a document, title it "my map" or "
- 21:00my angle," and fill in every section.
- 21:04That document will be your guide
- 21:06whenever you doubt if a video fits what
- 21:08you should be doing, and it's also what
- 21:10you'll pass to anyone who starts working
- 21:12with you on content.
- 21:13This way, no one has to guess what you
- 21:15want to convey.
- 21:17In my agency, this is the first thing we
- 21:18do with any client before recording a
- 21:20single video, and it’s also the first
- 21:21thing my students work on in the
- 21:23training.
- 21:25Analyze the competition, extract their
- 21:27pillars, see what types of videos are
- 21:29working for others, and find the gaps
- 21:32that no one has covered yet.
- 21:34If you skip this, everything that
- 21:36follows will fail.
- 21:38By the way, if you’ve made it this far
- 21:40and you're enjoying this, I want you to
- 21:42know that if you want to go deeper into
- 21:44how to viralize your own business and
- 21:46turn those views into clients, I’ve
- 21:47prepared a five-minute class for you.
- 21:50I’ll leave it at the end; I won't take
- 21:51up any more of your time, and let's
- 21:52continue with the video.
- 21:53Now I want to move on to the second part
- 21:55of the video, which is how we actually
- 21:56start making content.
- 21:58Starting from strategy and how we
- 21:59organize ourselves.
- 22:01Once we are clear on the foundations of
- 22:03our positioning, depending on how fast
- 22:05you move, you could have this first part
- 22:07done in two or three hours.
- 22:09Or it might take you two or three days,
- 22:12but I really recommend that you spend
- 22:14the next few days before recording your
- 22:16next batch of videos defining this
- 22:18clearly and setting these boundaries.
- 22:21From here, let's assume we have 87 of
- 22:23the 90 days left, meaning we’ve barely
- 22:26spent any time. And now, how do we grow
- 22:28the personal brand? The next step, as I
- 22:30was saying, is to set up a strategy and
- 22:33a way of working that allows you to make
- 22:35videos that fit the positioning we’ve
- 22:37just defined. And to do that, during the
- 22:40first 90 days, I would divide it into
- 22:42two phases. The first is the testing and
- 22:44experimenting phase. The second is the
- 22:46phase of betting on what works and doing
- 22:48it in a big way.
- 22:49This is exactly how we work at "Tu madre
- 22:51" with the personal brands we manage.
- 22:53We apply this same method.
- 22:56Usually, the first big block of intense
- 22:58work lasts 6 months, so these 90 days
- 23:00are more or less the first half of that
- 23:02block and serve to gain momentum.
- 23:05Phase one, testing and experimenting.
- 23:07The first phase, as I was saying, is
- 23:09testing and experimenting. Simply put,
- 23:11what we look for when we start making
- 23:13content for a personal brand is to
- 23:15discover which video recipes work for us
- 23:17time and time again.
- 23:19And when I say video recipe, I mean
- 23:20something very specific.
- 23:23It is a topic, a format, a setting.
- 23:26For example, imagine I am working with
- 23:27the owner of a neighborhood bakery who
- 23:29wants a personal brand.
- 23:31One of their recipes could be this.
- 23:33The topic, the secrets to making good
- 23:34bread, the format, a tutorial while
- 23:36making it, and the setting, filmed in
- 23:38the workshop standing in front of the
- 23:39oven.
- 23:41And they could have another completely
- 23:42different recipe. Here, the topic would
- 23:44be the mistakes people make when buying
- 23:47supermarket bread.
- 23:48The format, a list or a ranking. And the
- 23:51setting, at the shop counter with the
- 23:53product in hand, alternating shots of
- 23:55them talking to the camera with B-roll
- 23:57shots of the bread, the dough, and the
- 23:59customers.
- 24:00These would be two different recipes for
- 24:02the same personal brand. Normally, a
- 24:04personal brand should have between three
- 24:06and four main topics, one to three
- 24:08formats, and one to three settings.
- 24:11By combining them, you get several
- 24:13recipes.
- 24:14Almost everyone ends up using between
- 24:15five and 10 combinations. And again,
- 24:17this is so useful because it sets clear
- 24:19boundaries for you when creating.
- 24:22And those boundaries are exactly what
- 24:23allow you to organize production without
- 24:25having to start from scratch every week
- 24:27.
- 24:27During this first phase, the goal is to
- 24:29test a lot with topics, formats, and
- 24:31settings.
- 24:33Because what we are trying to do is
- 24:35discover which are the winning recipes
- 24:37by answering four questions. First,
- 24:39which recipes really work according to
- 24:42what we want to measure? Whether it's
- 24:44views, new followers, or clients.
- 24:47Second, which recipes truly attract the
- 24:49people we want to attract?
- 24:51You can see this by looking at comments
- 24:53, private messages, or even by checking
- 24:55the profiles of people who start
- 24:57following you to see what they do. Third
- 24:59, do we enjoy making videos with that
- 25:01recipe or will we burn out? Because if
- 25:03you end up burned out, your personal
- 25:05brand dies.
- 25:06And fourth, does that recipe let us
- 25:08appear in a way we feel proud of?
- 25:10We don't want the video to seem tacky,
- 25:12ridiculous, or in poor taste. We want it
- 25:14to look good, to be high quality, and
- 25:16above all, to represent us.
- 25:19Remember: topic, format, and staging.
- 25:22The fastest way to know which topics
- 25:23will work is to look at your competition
- 25:25.
- 25:26Take your top five or ten competitors,
- 25:28go to their profiles, sort their videos
- 25:30by most viewed, and write down the 50 or
- 25:33100 that performed best.
- 25:35Then, look at what they talk about, how
- 25:37they start, and how they are filmed. You
- 25:39will immediately see that there are
- 25:41topics that repeat again and again in
- 25:42their top-performing videos.
- 25:44That is the fastest way to stop guessing
- 25:46.
- 25:47You can also try to guess on your own,
- 25:49but it will take much longer. Regarding
- 25:51formats and staging, in this first phase
- 25:53, you need to experiment with a lot of
- 25:55freedom. Some formats are easier to
- 25:57produce than others. Some staging
- 25:58options are simpler than others. It all
- 26:00depends on how you want your personal
- 26:02brand to look.
- 26:03Many people create content, but it looks
- 26:05very low-quality and generic.
- 26:07And that happens because the staging
- 26:09lacks sufficient quality or doesn't
- 26:10convey a polished image.
- 26:13My advice: create a folder with examples
- 26:15of videos from other sectors whose
- 26:16filming style you love, and use it as a
- 26:18reference to try new things.
- 26:20That way, whether you do it yourself or
- 26:22delegate it to someone on your team,
- 26:23you'll be clear on what you want to test
- 26:25.
- 26:26So, during the first two months—the
- 26:28first 60 days of those 90—I would
- 26:30publish at this pace.
- 26:31Three videos the first week, five the
- 26:34second, and then seven videos a week for
- 26:36the following six weeks. That’s about 50
- 26:39videos, and I would experiment a lot
- 26:41with topics, formats, and staging. It is
- 26:43not what I do with my clients and
- 26:45students. Once you have a methodology, I
- 26:47only upload two videos a week, but if
- 26:49you are testing and want to build your
- 26:51personal brand, this would be best. Here
- 26:53and now, I wouldn't worry too much about
- 26:55the numbers because my only goal would
- 26:57be to discover which recipes work for us
- 26:59and which ones we enjoy making.
- 27:01The only filter for ideas in this phase
- 27:03would be: will this video serve our
- 27:04ideal client, the person we defined in
- 27:06the first exercise?
- 27:08If the answer is no, we discard it, but
- 27:10if the answer is yes, we have total
- 27:12freedom to test it during those first 60
- 27:15days. Obviously, all of this is about
- 27:17the strategy for making the videos.
- 27:19The practical side—writing good hooks,
- 27:21scripting, editing—is separate work, but
- 27:24it's all learnable and improvable until
- 27:27you reach the level you need.
- 27:30This is exactly what I work on with my
- 27:31students in my training program. At
- 27:33first, everyone is camera-shy, doesn't
- 27:35know how to start a video, and struggles
- 27:37with editing, but video by video, they
- 27:39improve and get numbers like the ones
- 27:41you see on screen.
- 27:43And when they reach these views, they
- 27:45realize that it’s nothing like what they
- 27:47were doing on day one.
- 27:49So don't stress if your first videos
- 27:51aren't perfect. Nobody starts out being
- 27:53good. The important thing is to start
- 27:55and keep going. So this first phase,
- 27:57deep down, blends two things. On one
- 28:00hand, discovering our strategy—what our
- 28:03recipes are, how we test them, and how
- 28:05we know they work.
- 28:07And on the other hand, improving our
- 28:09skills during those first 60 videos so
- 28:12our content is good enough for people to
- 28:14want to watch it.
- 28:17You are working on both at the same time
- 28:18; that is the first phase, and it will
- 28:20take up a good part of the first two
- 28:22months.
- 28:23Phase two: doubling down on what works—
- 28:25now we move to this second phase,
- 28:27betting on what works and going big.
- 28:30Once you've tested those 50 or 60 videos
- 28:32, you should be quite clear on which
- 28:34recipes work based on those four
- 28:35questions.
- 28:37Which ones get the best results, which
- 28:39attract more ideal clients, which we
- 28:41enjoy making, and which ones turn out in
- 28:44a way we feel proud of.
- 28:47Your goal in this second phase is to bet
- 28:49much harder on the recipes that work,
- 28:50remove the ones that don't, and simply
- 28:52repeat the process over and over.
- 28:55Reinforce what works and remove what
- 28:57doesn't. Reinforce, remove, polish, and
- 28:59remove.
- 29:00And do this until, after 6 months, you
- 29:02have a fairly clear repertoire of which
- 29:04recipes keep delivering incredible
- 29:06results.
- 29:07My advice is that once a week, you sit
- 29:09down with your numbers in front of you
- 29:11and look at which videos performed best
- 29:13, what comments were left, and what
- 29:15messages you received. Write it all down
- 29:18and then ask yourself, what recipe did
- 29:20those videos have? When you see a recipe
- 29:23repeating in your best-performing videos
- 29:25, that is your sign to bet much harder
- 29:27on it.
- 29:29And when a recipe hasn't worked for
- 29:30weeks, don't overthink it—cut it and
- 29:32spend your time finding one that does.
- 29:35Now, I’ll also tell you that over time,
- 29:37some recipes, topics, and formats get
- 29:39burned out. You use a recipe, you find a
- 29:41variation that works, you make the most
- 29:44of it, others start copying you, and
- 29:46somehow it stops standing out so much.
- 29:48Then it's time to return to the phase of
- 29:50testing, finding new things, and
- 29:52repeating the process.
- 29:53That back-and-forth between testing and
- 29:55leveraging what works is, precisely, the
- 29:57art of making content in the long term.
- 30:00And again, you aren't necessarily going
- 30:02to have incredible results just in the
- 30:04first 90 days.
- 30:05Thinking that would be absurd, but if
- 30:07you follow this process during your next
- 30:0990 days, you will start to see very
- 30:11clearly which recipes stand out, and
- 30:13from there, you can triple your effort
- 30:15on them.
- 30:16And I am so convinced that this is the
- 30:18way to do it because it is exactly how
- 30:21we work at Tu Madre Marketing with all
- 30:23the businesses we manage, and it is what
- 30:25I teach my students, and the phases work
- 30:27the same in all cases.
- 30:29The difficult part, obviously, is
- 30:31discovering from the beginning which
- 30:33recipes work.
- 30:34And there is this triangle of questions
- 30:36. Does it work? Do I like doing it? Does
- 30:38it represent me? And sometimes you get
- 30:40something to work, but you don't like
- 30:42doing it or it doesn't convey the image
- 30:43you want to project of yourself.
- 30:45And so, well, you have to change things
- 30:47. Add to that the practical side of
- 30:49making quality content within those
- 30:50recipes.
- 30:51Those are the two big obstacles that
- 30:53make this whole process more difficult.
- 30:56But this video should have given you a
- 30:59solid roadmap to know exactly how to
- 31:01face your next 90 days.
- 31:04And well, this is everything I had
- 31:06prepared for this video. As always, I
