Did you know that as an ex-travel agent, you already have a personal brand?

You’ve probably heard about going freelance and starting your own business as a travel agent, but the thought of building a following is daunting. You will be happy to know that you don’t actually need a huge following or any following to jump back into travel. You already have a network of people who trust you and consider you an expert in your field.

Show Yourself as an Expert Leader

As we said before, your network already considers you an expert leader, but if you want to branch further afield, all you need to do is show yourself as an expert leader. You have the knowledge, you have the experience, and you have the authority.

Get Personal

Personal branding is all in the name. It’s time to get personal and let your network get to know the real you. Your personal brand is all about who you are, your passion for travel and what you do is what sells.

We aren’t saying that you need to share your deepest secrets or your life story, but sharing a part of you that’s unique makes you stand out. Getting personal with your community is all about helping them relate to you and feel like they know you on a personal level.

Show Your Passion

As we said before, show your network how passionate you are about travel. No one wants to plan a holiday with someone who shows no interest in travel. If we’re planning a holiday to the Maldives, we want someone who is passionate, we want someone who is going to tell us all about things to do and sites to see. We want the planning part of the holiday to be an experience in itself. Experiences are created through passion, and passion cannot be taught.

Build Your Community

Building a network is all about creating a community. Whether you decide to build your Community on Instagram or YouTube, where you build your community should be tailored to your personal preferences. For example, if you are someone who enjoys getting in front of the camera and sharing what you know, YouTube is perfect for you. However, if you are someone who prefers to take pretty photos and share short-form video content, then Instagram might be more your style. Each platform will provide a different level of Intimacy. Instagram is one of the more intimate platforms, as it allows you more opportunities to connect with your community.
