This style of marketing has received great recognition due to the hearty acceptance of technologies and the great immersion of individuals into the cyber world. Internet and e-commerce have found a distinct place in man's life for making ways to comfort and wide access.

Personal branding is now required for any individual to hold their foot onto the field they aspire to establish on. Personal branding through social media is the most viable option which also provides wide access to communities, groups, and interested individuals.

How do entrepreneurs build their personal brand through social media

In the 21st century, the era of being competitive in the market, not only firms concentrate all their efforts to build a strong brand, but also create an entrepreneurial brand is critical. Despite of all the importance of branding for organizations, it seems that behind any successful company, it was a productive and creative entrepreneur who put all their efforts to build a durable brand. Branding could have quite the same role for people who are seeking to achieve their personal and professional goals. The concept of personal branding mentioned by Peters in 1997, for the first time, in his article with the name of "The Brand Called You" in Fast Company magazine (Chritton, 2012). Deckers and Lacy (2013), define personal branding as a creation of the appropriate kind of emotional response that individuals wish perceived by people who hear their names, see them on the web, or even meet them. Through personal branding, people can differentiate themselves for their target audiences. Moreover, it would be a strong tool to have a consistent message about who the person is and what they want to propose. Labrecque, Markos and Milne (2011) believe that personal branding involves special challenges which primarily has stemmed from the nature of online complexity. As a result, it seems that social network and online web pages provide opportunities and threats for people to build their own brand. By growth of the internet and personal web pages, the platform for self-expression and self-presentation have created (Vazire & Gosling, 2004). Elements on personal web pages and social media contain individual information, photographs, design and outline of choices (Labrecque, Markos, & Milne, 2011) which may support a person to differentiate themselves from others. The goal of social web pages is not just creating a personal web site but it also because of self-realization (Hemetsberger, 2005). Brand positioning is the dynamic communication of a person’s brand identity to a specific target market and people apply it to emphasize their positive qualifications that present value to their target audiences and simultaneously differentiate themselves from other individuals (Labrecque, Markos, & Milne, 2011). They believe that on social web pages, brand positioning would be achievable by maintaining a consistent message and image through social network. Personal branding specially for entrepreneurs would be a new trend in the future that they will find it necessary for their businesses. Crane (2013), believes that most of entrepreneurs need to consider viral marketing as a cheap and effective way to convey their messages. This author, also highlights that social media play significant role to flourish or crash a brand. There is a big gap between what companies should do to build their brand on social media and individuals such as entrepreneurs should apply to create their own brand, because of limited academic and practical study about harness of personal branding on social media (Kaplan & Haenlein, 2010; Hsu & Tsou, 2011). This is a theoretical study that tries to achieve its objectives which are fill this gap by answering how entrepreneurs build their personal brand through social media and highlight the critical role of social media as an appropriate tool for personal branding for entrepreneurs.

Successful Personal Branding on Social Media Creating and building a personal brand via content on YouTube

This thesis investigates the phenomenon of personal branding on social media and, in particular, it examines how successful YouTubers create and build their personal brand via content. The thesis provides valuable input to the existing literature on personal branding, which is predominantly found in self-help books and articles by self-proclaimed gurus within personal branding. Using the method of qualitative content analysis, a total of 72 videos from four different successful YouTubers have been collected and analysed. The analysis of the empirical material revealed that there are three main patterns across the content of the successful YouTubers. That is: Loyal to Personal Brand Profile, Promotion of Multiple Social Media Accounts, and Addressing the Audience and Encouraging Co-creation. Subsequently, these patterns can be understood as the key success factors of personal branding on social media via content. Based on these findings, this thesis proposes a new conceptual framework for personal branding on social media. The framework explains that personal branding on social media via content is a complex and on-going process, in which all elements of the framework should be implemented simultaneously in order to build a strong and holistic personal brand. By illustrating how established branding theories can be extended to include humans, this thesis not only serves as a contribution to the theoretical field of personal branding, but also to the field of branding as a whole.
