The study substantiates that the main positive factors include the authenticity of the personal brand, effective utilization of communication tools to enhance brand awareness, demonstration of expertise in a specific field or niche, maintaining stability and regularity in brand-building efforts to sustain audience interest, and the individual’s ability to adapt. On the other hand, negative factors encompass a lack of brand integrity and consistency arising from the absence of a brand strategy or inconsistent implementation, inadequate management of brand reputation, rigidity, low-quality content, and the presence of fake information.
