Are you Branding yourself?

1. Uncover your brand
The first step when it comes to identifying how to brand yourself online is uncovering your brand. This is a key component to making sure that you are represented positively and accurately online.
Branding yourself is not an act or a show you put on for others. Your brand reflects who you are at your core. The qualities that define you as a person should shape your brand too. These attributes are unmistakable.
If I asked ten members of your family how they would describe you, they would likely describe you by using a few key words. Identifying the heart of who you are is key when undergoing the process of branding yourself appropriately.
To help you in this self-discovery phase, here are a few questions to ask yourself:
What are my biggest strengths?
What am I most passionate about?
What makes me unique?

2.  Establish a presence.

You’re being Googled by friends, colleagues, and potential customers, so make sure your branded content is what people find when they Google your name. One way to do this is to build a basic online presence through your own website or blog.
For example, you can purchase your full name as a domain name (yourfullname.com). By developing either a static website or a blog under your domain name, you will own the first result for your name in Google and other search engines. This should be a separate site than your company’s website. After purchasing your domain name, add your picture, a bio, your email address, and links to the rest of your presence (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter). This way, people can get in touch with you in their medium of choice. Claim your name before someone else does. While search engines will pick up on your social media pages, having your own domain will produce a more finite result.

3. Build your platform.
Get out there and start building credibility and visibility consistently. Spread the message about what you do, who you work with and the impact you make. Methods include: in-person networking, writing blog posts of your own or contributing to others, doing interviews, creating social media posts and participating in speaking engagements at related industry conferences.
Lastly, always remember the golden rule of successful branding: be authentic. Think about the type of client or customer you would like to work with, simply share the benefits of what you do or sell, stand out with a style and story that’s unique to you, and build out a platform using your own ideas and expertise. Have fun and happy branding!

If you don’t ask, you will never know

Most people I am connected with have an online business of some sort. What comes along with that is you have to sell.  Now a lot of people are not asking people to buy from them. You can’t just hope that you will  make sales you have to ask.

I know people don’t want to be pushing or sound salesy. I get it. There are ways to go about it that when you ask the right questions you not putting people on the spot.

Example

Ask if they are open to taking a look at what you do.  If not no big deal. Then start up a conversation about them. Make them feel special. People always remember how you make them feel. Down the road they may come back to you an join or order from you.

It’s a numbers game. Not everyone is going to buy from you or join your business. But if your not asking anyone then no one will. So you need to get out and ask the questions. Keep at it until you get a Yes. A lot of people run their business of Facebook. That’s a great place to connect with people. Most have friends lists of hundreds if not thousands of people. Right there you have a list of potential customers.  Start going through your friends list one by one and reaching out to them and asking if they are open to taking a look at your business.

Relationships 

Build those relationships. I have people join my business not the first time I have reached out to them. Not the second but the third time. All along I was building a relationship with them. Asking them about their lives. Building trust. So you have to keep in contact with the people you prospect. Build the trust and let them see that you are doing the deal.  So utilize your friends list. Go through it one o by one and make contact with everyone. Ask them the question. “Are you open to taking a look”  you will get a yes or a no. Then move on.

5 types of posts you should be using on Facebook

1. Tell a story

Story posts are very powerful and tend to get a lot of engagement. Make sure you use feeling in your story post. Describe how you feel or felt in the situation you are talking about. Maybe tell they your “Why”. Share with your audience your struggles. This will make you more relatable. Trust me it works. People will know , like and trust you more when you share your story.

2. Inspirational posts

Come up with something positive to post. Maybe a positive quote or a positive picture. Your timeline should be all about positivity. Those are the people you want to engage with. Share your successes, even the small ones. We all like to hear a good success story. Cheer on your teammates. Write a post on what milestone they achieved.  Build people up. That is the purpose of an inspirational post

3. Humor

Don’t be afraid to share some humor. People love to laugh. Maybe a funny picture of your self or a meme. I love seeing humor in peoples posts. You will stand out more when you incorporate humor on your profile. Most people are scared to show themselves in a vulnerable state. For instance. I made a post of myself making a real funny face and the title said. This is the face I make when I get a marriage proposal in messenger from a complete stranger. Funny right? Most importantly, be you. let the world see your funny side.

4. Teach

Share some tips on something that you know. It could be anything. A great recipe. Your back to school shopping tips. How to setup an auto responder. The list here is endless. Just start sharing some tips to your audience and watch the engagement you get. These are great post to use. When you learn the pain points of your audience you will be able to teach them the solution. This is where the real magic happens. You become an authority in that niche.

5. Questions

Ask questions.  When you ask a question you definitely will get engagement. You are soliciting and answer. So when someone responds make sure you engage with them. Don’t just leave them hanging.  Ex. Has anyone tried _____________ product? That is always a good one. So go ahead and post a question up and see what happens.

I hope I brought you some value today and gave you some new ideas on what to post to get more engagement. If you want to see what I’m up to connect with me on Facebook here. https://www.facebook.com/will.blohm.3
