How has social media helped celebrities with building their personal brand?

Social media is ideal for self-promotion and celebrities these days are obviously on the bandwagon as well.

An insight into Britney Spears's day to day life or Chrissy Teigen's motherhood journey, whether it is Ryan Reynolds's brand of snarky parenting tips or Jonas Brothers' catchy music – people love to engage with stars on a personal level. They follow, they love and they share whatever their favourite celebrities do.




Becoming an Influencer 

Celebrities use social media to enrich their brand by getting closer to their fans. Using YouTube, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram a celebrity can interact with his or her fans in a safe and secure environment. Millennials love "talking to" their favourites, and social media brings celebrities closer to their adoring fans even more. A like, comment or retweet from someone you adore becomes a cause for celebration and it strengthens the bond of fanbase with their favs even more.

Social Media: The Ideal Platform

Finding a way to communicate and engage with fans have given celebrities a platform to establish themselves as a brand of their own. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Vine, YouTube and other social media platforms have played a major role in celebrities coming up with their own clothing lines, perfumes, crockeries, shoes, merchandise, etc., and launching it to an instant success.

With devoted social media following and day to day engagement based on sharing of photos and videos, along with live interaction through video chat sessions, celebrities leave no stone unturned to capture people's time and focus. 
This, not only boosts their online persona but also brings them a higher consumer recall.

The story doesn’t just end here. Celebs also earn big bucks when they interact over social media. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo earns a hefty $750,000 per Instagram post while Virat Kohli rakes in $120,000 for the same. Celebrity giants Kardashians and Jenners make millions when they post on their social media channels.

The point is, Social media has increasingly become the favoured medium for celebrities to get in touch with their fans on a personal level. Their influence over their fanbase provides them with a devoted audience to endorse their merchandise, and in turn, enriches their online presence.
