Melody Wilding – How I used HARO to grow awareness of brand
Who’s the imposter in imposter syndrome?
“Impostor syndrome is really the feeling of being a fake or a fraud, despite your accomplishments.
So folks like you, and I, trainers, experts, we feel like we have to know everything before we speak out about something.
Or that it has to be a completely brand-new breakthrough before we put ourselves out there.
And that’s just one of the ways impostor syndrome can stop us. 🛑
What I’ve discovered is that there’s very little that’s new under the sun.
But in my case, it was about how can you put together and combine ideas, or put them into a different context that people haven’t heard about before.”
To have your own branded concepts and ideas. That’s very attractive to people.
Melody Wilding – How I used HARO to grow awareness of brand
Why awareness of brand? 🤔
“In the early days, to be able to say I’ve been quoted in Business Insider, or Wall Street Journal, for example really helped.
It also gave me better SEO for my website, because you have these major sites, linking back to yours.
From an SEO perspective, this helps your blogs and your pages rank more highly in Google. 👈
SEO is the key to being discovered.
Well, guess what, when another journalist Googled impostor syndrome expert, I was one of the names that would come out, they reach out to you. 🥳️
So that was also very beneficial, and it did help me start to refine my positioning.
I started to become known for certain things, because I was quoted in articles on impostor syndrome.
So it does start to build, you get this sort of connection effect from it as well.“
