Can you use native ads to promote a personal brand via affiliate marketing?

[Brajet]

I've been exploring native ads for a while and recently started using them to promote a personal brand. I tried sharing stories that connect with my audience and highlighting what makes me different. Some posts get good engagement, while others don't seem to resonate.

I also experimented with mixing professional achievements and casual insights to see what feels more authentic. It's interesting how the tone changes the response. I'm still figuring out how to balance promotion with genuine connection.
