How Informative Content (Text or Audio) Helps You Build a True Personal Brand That Stands Out on LinkedIn, Spotify & Apple Podcasts

Hmm, in today’s content-heavy world, standing out online is tough.

Everyone seems to be posting.
Everyone has a “personal brand.”
But how many of those brands actually feel... real?

Not many.

That’s because most people chase attention, not authenticity. They post generic tips, recycled opinions, or whatever’s trending — hoping it goes viral.

But if you're looking to build a true brand — the kind that earns trust, sparks recognition, and leads to real opportunities —
the answer lies in one simple but powerful habit:

Creating informative, high-value content — in your own voice.

And when done right, across platforms like LinkedIn, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts, this kind of content doesn’t just get attention —
it builds authority.

Let’s break down why this matters more than ever in 2025 — and how you can start doing it.

🔍 First, Why the World Needs “True Brands” (Not Just Loud Ones)

According to Edelman’s 2023 Trust Barometer, over 67% of people say they trust individuals more than companies when it comes to sharing authentic insights and advice.

That’s huge.

But here’s the catch:
Most personal brands online are still built on:

• Trendy hot takes
• Vague quotes
• Look-at-me posts

And that’s exactly why audiences tune out.
We’re in an age of content fatigue, and the only way to cut through it is with depth and authenticity.

People remember clarity and value — not just consistency.

📚 What is Informative Content (And Why It Works)?

Informative content is content that:

• Educates your audience
• Solves a problem or answers a real question
• Shares your actual knowledge or insight
• Builds trust over time

This could be:

• A short LinkedIn post breaking down a new framework you’ve used
• A podcast episode explaining how you solved a problem at work
• A voice note summarizing an industry trend for your followers

Unlike entertainment-based content, informative content ages well.
It becomes searchable, shareable, and builds long-term equity.

And the best part? You don’t need to be a “guru.” You just need to be real and helpful.

🎙️ Why Audio (Alongside Text) is Your Secret Brand Weapon

In 2024, over 500 million people globally listened to podcasts, according to Statista — and that number’s still growing fast.

Why?
Because audio feels personal. Intimate. And trustworthy.

Unlike a polished Instagram reel, a podcast episode feels like a conversation.
It lets your audience hear your tone, sense your conviction, and connect with your thinking.

Combine this with text-based platforms like LinkedIn or blogs, and you’ve got a brand strategy that’s:

• Authentic
• Insightful
• Multi-channel
• And extremely hard to fake

That’s how you build a true brand — one that isn’t just loud, but respected.

🛠 Platforms Where You Can Amplify Your Informative Content

Let’s look at where this content shines best (of-course there can be others):

✅ LinkedIn

• Perfect for career stories, frameworks, case studies, and original insights
• Posts with educational value get 2x higher engagement, per LinkedIn’s internal data
• Great for building a professional following

✅ Spotify / Apple Podcasts

• Ideal for long-form thought leadership, interviews, or niche knowledge sharing
• Podcast listeners are 68% more likely to trust brands and creators they follow (Edison Research, 2023)

✅ YouTube Podcasts / LinkedIn Audio

• New, fast-growing spaces for discoverability
• Perfect for repurposing existing content into voice form

💡 Example: Let’s Say You’re a Product Manager

You could:

• Write a LinkedIn post:
  “3 mistakes I made while shipping a feature that flopped — and what I learned”
• Turn it into a podcast:
  “Why Your First Product Launch Will Probably Fail — and That’s Okay”

Suddenly, you’re not just another PM —
You’re a teacher, thinker, and communicator in your space.

And that builds real brand equity.
