How to Post on Social Media in a Way That Builds a Strong Personal Brand that Makes Money

You can post on social media for 10 years and still have no brand, no clients, and no income.

Do not confuse the difference between popularity (having many followers and likes) and a brand.

There are people who have many followers, but when they post something to sell, no one buys. That is popularity without a strong brand. There is a reason for that.

Posting alone is not strategy. Visibility without clarity won’t build a brand you can monetize.

Here’s how to post on social media in a way that builds a strong personal brand you can monetize, with systems, scale, and strategic clarity.

1. Stop posting for likes. Start posting for positioning.
You’re not here to entertain (except you are in the entertainment industry).
You’re here to signal & build authority, build trust, and attract aligned buyers.
When you post for positioning your posts will address issues like these:
- “Here’s the problem I solve.”
- “Here’s what I’ve helped others achieve.”
- “Here’s how to work with me.”
- "Here's how this and that works."
- “Here’s a mistake people often make — and what to do instead.”
This kind of content doesn’t just inform, it positions you as a trusted authority.
Don’t just show up. Show up with strategic purpose.

I have a free course for you to help you grow your value & distribute more value. Get Value Ascension Course now here: https://stan.store/Joybert

2. Build a branded content ecosystem (1 →Model).
Pick 3–4 content lanes tied to your brand and monetizable identity:
Your skillset
Your results or client wins
Your thought process or framework
Personal stories that reveal values & mission
Career and industry stories that reveals impact
Rotate consistently. Let people remember and repeat who you are and what you solve. (read that again)

3. Write a bio that opens doors — not confusion.
When I look at somepeople's bio on social media, sometimes I am like....(let me not say it ahah)
Your bio should say:
- Who you help
- What you help them achieve
- How they can start working with you
Clarity > Cleverness
People don’t buy mystery. They buy solutions.

4. Create posts that are bridges — not broadcasts.
Every post should do one or more of these:
Educate
Solve a problem
Invite action
Build trust through proof or story
Make your offer visible
Don’t just talk. Lead people somewhere.

5. Use testimonials and results like marketing assets.
- Screenshot kind words
- Share before/after snapshots
- Tell client transformation stories
- Highlight how your method works
Social proof is not bragging. It’s trust fuel.

6. Use your pinned post like a 24/7 sales rep.
Pin a post that introduces:
- Who you are
- What you do
- Who it’s for
- How to get started (Add your contacts)
Let your first impression carry conversion weight.

7. Turn your best-performing posts into repeatable series.
If a post works, don’t post once and move on.
- Turn it into a mini-series
- Create a workshop around it
- Build a paid product from it
Scale your best work. Don’t let it die in the feed.

8. Repurpose across platforms with intentionality.
One message. Multiple formats:
- Facebook post - LinkedIn thread
- WhatsApp voice note - Instagram carousel
- Live session - YouTube short clip
Brand consistency breeds recognition.
Recognition builds trust.
Trust drives income.

9. Include calls to action that lead to real conversations or conversions.
- “Comment YES for the free guide.”
- “DM me ‘READY’ to work together.”
- “Click the link in my bio to book.”
If people can’t take the next step, you’re not building a brand, you’re just journaling and making social media noise.

10. Track what converts. Build systems around it. (systems thinking)
- What kind of post attracted clients?
- What language got people DMing?
- What structure made your offer clear?
Turn insights into content SOPs. Build a brand that works while you rest.

Which of these points challenged you? COMMENT “BRAND BUILDER”

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE 2025.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

DATE: SATURDAY MAY 31ST, 2025.

THEME: SURRENDER ALL

MEMORISE:

“And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.” - (Matthew 19:29)

READ: 1 KINGS 19:19-21 (KJV)

19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.

20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?

21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

MESSAGE:

When Elijah went to Elisha's farm and threw his mantle on him, Elisha didn't waste time before he surrendered all to answer God's call. Elisha seemed to be a rich fellow because Elijah met him plowing with twelve yokes of oxen when he passed by him. However, Elisha didn't count this as anything because he returned home, killed a yoke of oxen, gave it to his people, and followed Elijah to become his servant. Within a day, the manager of an apparently thriving agricultural business became a prophet's servant.

Elisha ministered to Elijah and was known as the one who poured water on the hands of Elijah (2 Kings 3:11). The blessings Elisha got for surrendering all in service to God are unquantifiable. He received a double portion of Elijah's anointing (2 Kings 2:9-15), became a father to kings (2 Kings 6:21), and even after his death, his dry bones raised a dead man back to life (2 Kings 13:21). When a man surrenders all to the One who made him, he will live an impactful life.

From Elisha's story, we see that lasting greatness begins with absolute surrender. Any seed that will count for anything, must first enter into the soil and die. It must surrender its beauty and strength so as to rot in the earth before new life can sprout from it. Jesus said:

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (John 12:24-25)

Beloved, surrender all to the One who made you, and He will guide you aright. When you surrender your life to God, you are asking Him to help you because you don't know the best way to live your life. In John 15:5, Jesus said, "Without me, you can do nothing." Paul also knew the secret to absolute surrender, and that is why he said, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13).

Those who surrender all to Jesus will gain more in the end. However, those who keep a part of their lives, like Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1-2 end up losing even more than the things they are trying to keep.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please help me to surrender all to You wholeheartedly.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JOB 17-20

HYMNAL: 7 - I AM THINE O LORD

1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Refrain:

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

[Refrain]

3 Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!

[Refrain]

4 There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

[Refrain]

Breaking News: “Nothing Wrong If An Actor Wants S£x From An Actress for Movie Roles So Far He Doesn’t Force Her”–Yoruba Actor Dele Odule

–Lagos Reporters

Veteran Yoruba actor, Dele Odule, has stirred public debate following his remarks on the controversial issue of s£x-for-roles in the Nigerian movie industry, saying it is not wrong for an actor to request a relationship from an actress in exchange for a movie role provided there is no coercion involved.

Odule made the statement during an interview on Oyinmomo TV’s official YouTube channel, where he offered a personal perspective on what has become a recurring concern in Nollywood.

“I don't agree that actors can ask actresses to have an affair with them before giving them movie roles because if such happens, it means the actress already has an interest in doing it,” he said.

The actor, known for his decades-long contributions to the Yoruba film industry, clarified that in any normal society where men and women interact, romantic or sexual advances are bound to happen. According to him, what matters is mutual consent.

“In a society where there are men and women, it is normal that they will approach each other for relationships, but it has to come with mutual agreement between a man and a woman because a woman always has the choice to agree or disagree,” he stated.

Odule emphasized that it only becomes a legal or moral issue when force is applied, noting that coercion or exploitation is punishable under the law.

“Nothing wrong if an actor wants s£x from an actress for movie roles so far he doesn't force her. It only becomes illegal when force is applied, which is punishable under law.”

His remarks have sparked mixed reactions online, with some Nigerians accusing the actor of normalizing exploitation in the industry, while others argue that his comments simply reflect the reality of adult relationships and consent.

As the entertainment industry continues to wrestle with issues of ethics, professionalism, and abuse of power, Odule’s comments may further ignite conversations around how boundaries are defined and respected in Nollywood.

Lagos Reporters will continue to follow public and industry responses to this developing story.

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: FRIDAY 30TH MAY 2025

THEME:
*NOBODY CAN SATISFY ANYBODY*

MEMORIZE
Hebrews 12:14
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

READ
1 Peter 3:13-18
And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*You were not designed to meet people's expectations.*

MESSAGE
We were never created to meet people's expectations; that is God's job.

Unfortunately for God, He has not been able to satisfy the desires of "fallen humans" because they want what He hates...

This is why living to please people or to impress people is living in a fools paradise. It is a waste of time and effort.

It started in heaven, Lucifer faulted the holiest one who is without unrighteousness... and led a mutiny against the most high; His creator and boss because he was disgruntled about God's leadership style...

The father of the prodigal son couldn't satisfy his own son... he wanted more than staying in his father's house...

The people who ate miracle bread and fish from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ also shouted, "Crucify him."

Judas Iscariot, who was shown so much love and acceptance from the best pastor, was the worst traitor and betrayer in history.

*When your best is never enough, don't blame yourself for it.*

When people disdain and contem, your best efforts care not about it. You were not designed to meet people's expectations.

Remember, the bee lives only for 40 days and must visit at least 1000 flowers to be able to produce only half of a teaspoonful of honey...

To us, it's only a teaspoonful honey, but to the bee, that is his whole life's labour and earnings...

There is only one person you should strive to please; and that is God. Having done all your best to please God, bless the LORD for whatever reactions you get from men, whether good or bad.

This is the conclusion of the whole matter;

1. Discover purpose,
2. Live maximally to release your full potential, and leave the rest for God.
3. Follow peace with all men, and as much as it lies with your strength, seek peace and pursue it.
4. Maintain a pure heart and a conscience void of offence towards others.
5. Most importantly, live ready for the LORD at all times because the time is short.

Cheers and shalom.

ACTION STEPS
1. Prayerfully meditate on today's devotional guide.
2. Be determined to be in God's good book always.

DAILY READING: Jeremiah 1-2; Psalms 34-37; Matthew 14-15;

HYMN
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness ;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand ;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

2
When darkness hides His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the vail.

3
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the 'whelming flood ;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

4
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
On ,may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne !

YOUR "SAVINGS" ARE KILLING YOU SLOWLY

That mushy, "cheap" tomato you picked to save money?
It’s not a bargain—it’s BIOHAZARD.

That squishy, "almost gone" tomato hiding in your fridge?
It’s not preservation—it’s POISON PREPPING.

Here's The Hard Truth:

You think you’re being smart with money—
But really, you’re playing Ludo with your gut.

"Just cut off the bad part!" = Pure LIE.
"Boil it well, it’ll be fine!" = Dark LIE.
"Heavenly stew from rotten tomatoes?" = EVEN ANGELS WOULD VOMIT.

"But it’s just a tomato!" →
SAY THAT TO A CANCER PATIENT.
"But it tastes nice even though!" → POISON HAS NO FLAVOUR.


Imagine What Rotten Tomatoes Really Do To You:
Splash it in soup? → Mycotoxins survive boiling = CANCER RISK.
Smear it on toast?"→ Food poisoning loading… IMMUNITY CRASH.
Freeze for later?→ Toxic buildup = KIDNEY STRAIN .

Hospital bills don’t care about your "savings."
Chemo doesn’t negotiate prices.

THE FIX is simple.
EITHER FRESH OR NOTHING.
Your health isn’t a discount bin.

DON’T BUY ROTTEN.
Poor man's meal → Rich man's medical bill

THROW IT OUT.
One bad tomato = a lifetime of regret.
So when in doubt, fling it off.

Every bite of spoiled food is a love letter to disease. Stop sending them.

Your future self is begging you: STOP EATING WHAT BELONGS IN THE TRASH

When Love Feels Dangerous
By Işık Abla
There are moments in the healing journey when even love feels unsafe.
Not because love itself is the enemy—but because we’ve been shaped by a version of it that hurt us.
When you’ve been abused, silenced, controlled, or punished in the name of “love,”
your nervous system starts to brace for pain… even when kindness shows up. You want to control your heart so it won’t hurt again. But in this process of self protection, you harden your heart to God’s love through the right people He sent to your path.
But here is truth:
Real love doesn’t flinch at your scars. True love is not afraid of your weaknesses. Real love doesn’t need you to be perfect before you’re worthy of care.
Whether it comes through friends, mentors, family, or divine appointments—
true love shows up with eyes of compassion and a heart that stays.
You are not “too much” for the right person.
You are not too passionate, too tender, too deep, or too intense.
You are exactly enough for what God designed you to carry.
So breathe.
Your history is not a disqualification—it’s a testimony.
Your survival is not a sign of brokenness—it’s evidence of glory.
Let safe love find you. Don’t dread it. Let God heal you through the people He sends. And let your heart learn again that not every hand that reaches for you comes to take.
God is getting ready to break your walls down. Jesus is thinning the veil that separates you from His gift of love.
Prayer:
My Heavenly Father, I surrender the places where love has felt like a threat. I invite You to heal my expectations, soothe my fear, and surround me with those who carry Your love well. I am not too much—I am a miracle in motion. Amen.

Once upon a time, the Lion became hungry and he said to the fox: '𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗮𝘁, 𝗼𝗿 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂.'

The fox went to a donkey and said: '𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲.'

When the Lion saw the donkey, it attacked her, cutting off its ears, but the donkey managed to escape. The donkey said to the fox: '𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲! 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲!'

The fox said: '𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘆! 𝗛𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀, 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱! 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗴𝗼 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸.'

It made sense to the donkey, so it went back.

The Lion attacked the donkey again, this time cutting off its tail! The donkey escaped again, saying to the fox: '𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴! 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹!'

The fox said: '𝗛𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘀𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲! 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲.'

The fox convinced the donkey to return again.

This time, the Lion caught the donkey and killed it.

The Lion said to the fox: '𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗸𝗲𝘆. 𝗡𝗼𝘄, 𝗴𝗼, 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀, 𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗴, 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁!'

The fox skinned the donkey, and ate the donkeys brain, but brought back its lung, liver and heart to the Lion. The Lion became angry and asked: '𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻?!'

The fox replied: '𝗜𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗻𝗼 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀, 𝗺𝘆 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗜𝗳 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀, 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹.'

The Lion said: '𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲.'

Moral of the the story: Don’t be like the donkey . This is how the foxes keep convincing the donkeys in Nigeria at every election since 1999. They keep voti
