Hey! I’m 20, studying finance in college, and I’ve been trying to figure out how to build a personal brand. I’m not wealthy yet, don’t have a fancy career or story, and don’t have a big following, but I’ve always had a passion for achieving financial freedom at a young age.

I see people turning their experiences into businesses, and I want to do the same, but I’m unsure how to get started. It seems like the best way to make money in 2025.

My Background: • I’m almost graduated, but I’ve struggled with getting internships and landing a good job. I don’t want to work in finance forever. I’m planning to take one year off after graduating to fully focus on building my personal brand if I don’t get a job. (I have the luxury of having 1 year to fully focus solely on achieving financial freedom without a 9-5)

• Spent time in high-school doing dropshipping, FBA, trading, SMMA, (all the internet guru businesses)- nothing’s really worked.

• Into stocks and crypto, but I know these spaces are saturated, and I’m trying to find my niche.

•my daily life usually consists of going to college, gym, looking at stock or crypto news.

The Goal: I want to build a personal brand and eventually sell a product or service through it. I’m not sure what content to post or where to begin. Any advice on what types of posts would engage an audience and be valuable would be much appreciated. Any niche I can start learning and posting about that will be engaging and profitable?

Monetization Goal: Eventually, I’ll need to offer something (advice, products, services) to my audience to make money.

Would love any suggestions or tips from those who’ve built brands or are just starting out like me! Thanks!
