Questions and answers
Do I need to appear on camera? Not necessarily. Writing, diagrams, and screen recordings also build trust. A face speeds recognition, but it is not a requirement.
What if my field is too narrow? A narrow field speeds recognition. Widen it after people know you in the first one.
Does personal branding replace a company brand? No. Both run together. A company brand survives when people change roles.
