Depending on how you show up online, the future of personal branding lies in that. Therefore, your social media presence is even more important. Whether you're a creator, entrepreneur, or expert in your industry, people are Googling you before working with you. Even Wikipedia page editors sometimes determine whether a person is notable enough for inclusion based on their digital footprint. In other words, your Instagram, LinkedIn, or X profile is your digital resume. In an era where first impressions are made online, providing value consistently and authentically will open doors that any traditional resume may never offer.
