We can discus consistency in two ways. There is the more media-oriented level of professional consistency and then the engagement consistency.
The first of these is something that can very easily be achieved. It is so simple that if it is missing from your personal branding it instantly stands out and makes you seem unprofessional.
It is pivotal that, aesthetically, your content is consistent. This means making sure you have good quality photos, a recognizable logo and unique design that makes you stand out. You should consistently use the same colors and fonts.
Again, this is something that can take time to set up in the beginning but will have invaluable long-term results.
While we will discuss engagement more broadly later on, it is highly advised that you have a consistent content strategy. Creating quality content takes time. You do not have to rush out as much content as possible as quickly as possible. It is better to have fewer posts of a higher caliber, then many posts that are low quality and put your audience off.
Having a consistent posting schedule of high-quality relevant content will retain your audience and inspire them to engage with your posts.
Having strong personal branding requires accountability. You need to ensure that you are accountable, not only to your audience, but also to yourself. Do not sabotage your brand by neglecting to maintain and monitor your strategies.
Put simply, the way to be seen as credible, is to be credible.
