For Introverts: How to make your own brand without sharing your personal life online?

• Explore what and where you wanted to be
• Know that there are different personalities and there are different types of people who don’t share equally.
• Don’t expect everybody to do the same things.

6 Different personality types based on how they share online:

1. Altruist -shares from their heart, kind-hearted and they wanted to see good things happen.
2. Early adaptor -takes on something new, learns it right as soon as it comes out, and then turns around and teaches it to other people.
3. Connector – people who like to connect with two or more people.
4. Careerist – a person who loves to learn, but also loves to share information. Educators, bloggers, content creators.
5. Boomerang- somebody who asks follow up questions.
6. Selective- somebody who’s rather private. They would rather share behind the scenes, they would rather create one-on-one human messages. They’d rather be in person than online. Discreet type.

Tips for the ‘Lurker’ type of businesses

1. Identify your audience who are already talking about your business.
2. Group them according to their influences
3. Update them to what is currently happening to your business
4. Help them with their businesses
5. Create a connection to all of your influencers in the business by grouping them in a Facebook or LinkedIn groups

By doing so, these influencers will more likely share your stuff because you have given them so much value. Also, by doing this, more people will be curious and will have the interest to be a part of your group.
