of your freedom, your influence, and

dive into Chapter one. We will explore what
personal branding really means in today global
world. Let's get started.
2. Chapter 1: What Is a Global Personal Brand?: Welcome to Chapter one. What
is a global personal brand. Let's share our presentation. Let's explore what
a personal brand is and why it's matter
in the global content. We'll dive into
different subjects, and if you have ever
felt invisible online, unsure how to introduce
yourself or confused about what your brand should look like and sound like,
you're not alone. This happened to many people, including me in this chapter, we are going to unpack what
personal brand really is, why it's more
important than ever, and how you can begin shaping
you for global audience. Grab your notebook and
let's get started. What is personal brand? Let's start with a
simple definition. Your personal brand
is the way people preserve you when they
are not in the room. For example, in the story, people tell what stories
people tells about you. The emotion you name triggers, the value people
believe you offer. It's not just your resume, your logo, or Lingdn headline. It's include the following. The words use, the
problem you solve, the tone of your message, your digital footprint, your
story, your repetition. For example, my name
is Mohammed Abhana. It's a little bit
complicated name. I come up with a nickname. I prefer people to call me, especially who don't understand Arabic or know how to
pronounce our name. I say to call me Mo Mo is short name for Mohammed and
it's very easy to pronounce, and it's not easy to forget. Whether you are
aware of it or not, you already have a brand. The question is is
it intentional? Your personal brand is not about pretending to be
something you are not, it's about getting
clear who you are, consistent what you're
doing to show up. Why you need to go
global with your brand. Now let's talk about
the global part. I mean, how I'm not
Caola, I'm not Pepsi. I'm not a global brand. Why I need you have
a global brand? You might be wondering,
do I really need to have a personal global brand or
even if you just touted? Yes, and here is why. We live in borders ward. You you could be now in
Dubai and and Atlantic, California and you could be from Pakistan and get invited to speak in
an event to Berlin. Opportunities today are
not limited by locations, they are filtered by perspicton. For example, going global
with your brand means you communicate in a way that
works across cultures. Whatever your
background, the culture, you'll be able to
communicate a method. You show up in places that
international clients or partners are already looking. You avoid limiting yourself to single market,
language, or mindset. A global personal brand opens more door and more freedom
than you ever expect. What's the five elements
of a strong global brand? Let's break them down the five key elements of powerful personal brand
that work globally. First of all, is clarity. Can someone understand who you are and what you do in
10 seconds or less? I mean, I have almost 50 k followers
and Link it in and sometimes I go to
many places or events. I've never been to this place before and people
recognize me instantly. Whenever I see my name or I see my brand or
even before I talk, people say, Yeah, I've
seen you and Link, you are the guy who
doing X Y and Z. That's the same thing.
You have to be clear. You value is simple
and jargon free. Don't try to use
information which is very complicated,
people not understand. Your value is obvious. You brand is not trying to
be everything to everyone. Second thing is
about an award of filters and fakes,
authenticity stand out. This doesn't mean oversharing. It means showing that you
are who you are constantly. Revelance. Your message
should speak to a need or desire your
audience already have. For example, instead of saying, I'm content specialist, say, I help startups create stories
that attract investment. That's more relevant than say, I'm a content specialist. 99 of normal individuals will not understand just the
word content specialist, but they will understand I help startups create stories
that attract investment. You focus on startup
mostly and you help them to create a message that create investment,
attract investment. And trust, how to build
trust in a global world. People need to trust
your expertise before they trust your offer. Use social proof, case studies, testimonials, and constant
presence and also Bad cost. Try to show your expertise
without scripts, without books, just talk and your experience will
be shown instantly. Number five is about
global sensitivity. Be aware of how your
tone, language, and style are received
across different cultures. Avoid you can say avoid
information that don't translate. Keep your tone clear and
professional but human. Try to connect as
much as possible with many audience
as big as possible. That will make or break
your global brand. Next section here, your brand is a story, it's not statement. Let me say this clearly. Your brand is not your title, your brand is your
transformation story. People don't connect
with your job. I'm a lawyer. Sometimes when I introduce myself as a
lawyer, people doesn't shy. But I have things, an
entrepreneur, an investor, online content creator,
I'm a brand strategist, I'm a tax advisor, so they connect
with your journey. For example, instead of saying that I'm a lawyer can
say, I used to be, I switch my business, I switch my career before for
something else to a lawyer. That's an interesting story. Here a simple three part storytelling framework
for your brand. The before, where were you? What problem are you
trying to solve? The breakthrough, what change? What did you learn or create? Then the after, what did you help others or do as a result? It's like a story before, Break through and then after. You destroy it to introduce
yourself any bias, Broadcast interviews, pitches,
or even your website. Tools that support
your global brand. Here a few platforms that can help you build and
showcase your brand. The most important and most
trusted one is linked in. It's best for credibility,
networking, and authority. When you have authority
about domain and expertise and you keep showing up and you keep
sharing information, videos, and content about what you know and how you build, that will give you credibility. Cava for brand visuals, temples and social posts. This is used to be like tools
to show what you are doing. For example, this presentation
is used by Canva, and then you have Google Docs or Notion to outline your
message and content plan, what you're planning to do next, how to build your audience, and how to put them
in like a stone. Then the most famous
one is YouTube, Substack or Gam Ron to share knowledge or to sell
digital products. YouTube is mainly to
show your expertise. Substack, if you
have a newsletter, Gam Road is you can sell digital products directly
to your audience. And also there's Google
sites for creating free or low cost personal
website where you just starting to show what you're doing and what
kind of expertise. You don't need them
all, pick one, two, three, depending
on the strategy. For myself, I have everything, but you need to start somewhere. When I start, it
just one or two, and then I keep building them
until you have the perfect. Portfolio for information. Okay. So we've finished almost this real
time examples, yes. Okay, so real life examples. Let's take a quick look at some word examples of effective
global personal branding. A digital nomad
designer who shares case studies on B
hunts and Instagram, lending clients from Australia to the United Arab Emirates. That's a very famous. He's
already a digital nomad. He keep traveling. He
managed his business mostly online and he would like to show his case studies so there's
different platforms. You can have lending pages,
he can haven Instagram, you can have a
platform specific like Bhans he will be able to
attract clients from anywhere. Second and a consultant
use LinkIn to publish short insight and attract international speaking
gigs like myself. I have a lot of contact in
LinkDn and this has put me in a very good spot that people who search
about my expertise, they will able to book me and invite me for
international gigs. A freelance copywriter who built her brand around storytelling for impact startup now
WorkeFyRmote. The same story. Once you build your
brand and be consistent, you'll be able to
reach your audience and start making money of this. All three focus on clarity,
consistency, and confidence. Once you have the
confidence that you'll be able to tell you
stories everywhere, it will be much easier and will make life much more
easy to build on. Section number seven here, your turn, many projects
and reflections. Let's apply what
we have learned. Your task is for sapter
write down three sentence, describe your current brand, then write three sentence, describe the global
brand you want to build. So what you already have a
local brand and you would like to transform it into
a global brand, write down three
sentence that describe your current brand and then
write another three sentence describe the global brand
you want to build or someone else you would
like to be and here, if someone Googled you today, what would they find? Does it reflect who you
are or who you were? Take your time to
reflect, share your draft in the course workspace. If you are comfortable and
build your confidence. That's the most important thing. We are here to help you,
build your confidence and think whatever's
global or or local, it's the same. Nothing. It doesn't matter between your same country or another
place far, far away. We just completed Chapter one. We've covered what
personal brand really is, why global positioning matters, the five core elements of
strong personal brand, simple tools and frameworks
to get you started. In the next chapter, we'll
do personal brand audit, honest look on how you
currently show up online. And what gaps you need to close to attract global opportunities. Until then, take a moment, review your notes, complete your reflection tasks,
and stay consensus. This is just the beginning, CU in Chapter two. Thank you.
3. Chapter 2: Audit Your Current Personal Brand: Welcome back. In Chapter one, we have explored what
a personal brand is and why it's so important
in global content. Now it's time to go deeper and
turn the spotlight inward. Before we create or evaluate
your personal brand, you need to know where
you are starting from. The chapter is all about conducting an honest
practical brand audit. Looking at how you
currently show up online, what message you are sending and where the gaps are between how and you are preceived and how you
want to be perceived. No guesswork, just clarity. Let's start sharing. What is a personal brand audit? A personal brand audit is a structure review of your
current digital footprint, your messaging,
visuals and tone. What other says about
you or assume about you? How align your brand
is with equals? This isn't about criticism,
it's about insight. Think of it like doing
a repetition scan. You want to evaluate the
signals you are already sending out and whatever they are working for
you or against you. That's a very important point. Everything you put online must be for you,
not against you. Otherwise, you are giving
the wrong message. Start with Google search.
The first place to begin is normally
just Google yourself. There's other search
engines like HGBTNo have a search Bing but mostly
people say I'm Google myself. Why? Because that's what
everyone else does. Employers, clients,
partners, Broadcast host. Here how to do it properly. First of all, you don't have to use the same search
that you're using. I have to be an Ignito a private browser
where you eliminate all the cookies or
search histories or what kind of Google
accounts you already using. Type of name and any variations
you use professionally. For example, if your
name is doctor Ali, doctor John, doctor Mike, use doctor Mike, don't
just use Mike Anderson. Use the full name with any variation you
use professionally. Review the first two to
three pages of results. Take notes and just make
sure what shows up first. What shows up first will be different from country country, it will be different
between regions and will be different what you are using a mobile search or
just using a desktop. Because Google varies clients
depending on locations, regions, languages,
and different things. Is it relevant and
it's up to date? If you have a very ununique name that many people are
using the same name. How many people are
showing up and link it in there are linked to
myself or someone else? You have to be very careful when you Google yourself because this is Wimter building the
blocks for the next chapters. Also, though you see professional profiles,
personal post, outdated buys, have
you changed your job and the online search doesn't show what you
are currently doing? You want to own your
first page on Google. If you don't control
the narratives, someone else or an old content might be doing it
for you or could be relevant information or
misdated information or information that
you would like not to show up when anyone
is googling yourself. So audit your key platforms. Here, we look deep dive into different platforms and
how to make sure that you will be relevant to
just Google yourself. Google yourself or
just the first step. The next step, let's
take a look at your most important
public facing platforms. We will go through each
one and you can pause the video to check your
own accounts one by one. Even you can Google myself, you can Google my name, or
any other famous individual. I still don't have
a Wikipedia page, but it will help
generally as a guideline. Let's start with LinkII. Is your headline
clear and relevant? Some people say, I'm a
director at XY Company. I'm founder or CEO
at XY Company. I'm a business development
manager at XYZ. Unless your XYZ company is
a very famous like Google, Microsoft, even
Link itIn, use it. Otherwise, try to come
up with something that clear and relative
to what you're doing. Does your profile picture match your current
look and tone? Some people use their
old passport photo almost 20 or 15 years
ago. It's not relevant. Are you preferred to look
like a t shirt guy like myself or preferred
to be more casual, smart casual, just a
jacket or you would like to have a tie.
There's different ways. There is no right and wronger
using a profile picture. It could be as
simple as t shirt, could be smart
casual or could be professionally with
a tie and headshot. It's depending on what kind of customers you would
like to attract. Summary specific and
focus and unique value, you provide how clients
can reach you, partners, what you will be able to offer a summary or just giving
enough information. Do you have a recent
post articles or updates or you
just have nothing? I mean, mostly if
you Google mostly anyone names and the co ink if the Link is not active
or not up to date, the information
would be relevant and you can miss a
lot of opportunities. The next audit is going to the
normal other social media, which you can say more on the creative side
including Instagram, Twitter, aT Tok,
everyone Tik Tok. Every platform is different. Every platform, have
a different audience, have a different message, have a different way to
deliver your message. But you can tune each platform depending on
what you're trying to do. You have to ask yourself
the coming three questions. Are your buyers aligned with your personal brand
message in each platform? Even the Tech Tok or Twitter X now or the Instagram had different audience
and different. Are you buyas the same? Are the information in
each platform is the same? It's very important to text. Take note of this
then are you using the same tone and style
as your other platforms, if you have a linked
in, are you linking them to the other
platforms or no. For example, you say, I'm
a content creator in X, but in TikToker, I'm selling
something and I Instagram, this is my account in private. This is total nonsense. You have to make sure
that each platforms or each profile have
the same tone style as your other platforms. The question you have
to ask yourself, is your content helping or
hurting your credibility? Are you sharing
personal information about your family or nothing
related to business? If you would like
to go business, sorry to say this, forget
about your family. Focus 100% of business. I mean, it's much better that you share
business information, not share personal
private information. If you would like to
have different accounts, one for your personal family or personalization, that's fine. Create another. Even with a different name,
it doesn't matter. The only matter is your personal brand,
your global brand. This is the most important man. This is where you
make money actually. Then we have to look if you have a personal website,
if you have one. It doesn't have to
be full website. It could be like Linktree, could be bias on
the link, could be. There's many ways now you can create a personal
website doesn't have to be full fledged website with photos and contacts
and information. It could be a very
simple short bio that link to your social
media, other information. Is your message clear
within three to 5 seconds? Does it tell your story, doesn't tell what you're doing, have your name clearly with any abbreviations or any
title you would like to add, you contact options available and offers obvious what
you're trying to sell. If you try to sell
digital course like this one, it
have to be included. If you try to get more
subscriber on YouTube, you have to be including
the first day. If you would like to drive more people to book you directly for coaching or one to one or
even other ways of booking, you have to be including in this many website or
the personal website. Is the design consistent with your personality or
business identity or no? If you're using your
name, that's fine. If you have another
brand name, that's fine. For example, people use, I have a brand name
called Global EPAC. It doesn't have to be.
Sometimes I use my brand name. It's a business name and sometimes I use
my personal name. Even if you're not actively posting, your
constitency matters. People will scan you by you, will look at your
last view posts and make a judgment fast. You have to be very careful what information shared
on all the platforms, including the social media, including the x or Twitter
or Instagram or TalkTalk, and even if you have
a personal website. Let's go to the next step here about brand identity alignment. Next, ask yourself this
is the way I look? I speak, I write and show up across multiply platforms
or it's not consistent. What's mean by consistent? Consistent that, for example, if you have a profile picture, it have to be the same
across all platforms. Let's go for the first
thing. Is the name used? Are you using your full name
or short name or a nickname? Are the initials the same or are you using your
middle names or no? Of the last name is the famous name or this is one
link it to your actual ID. Also, the user name
you are using, it's the same or different. You name, full name on initials, and then the profile picture, this is the most
important thing. Full name. If you are using initials
everywhere, that's fine. Use it. If you're not using
initial, don't use it. Just make sure the name
is consistent everywhere. The profile picture have to
be across all the platforms. And then the thing if the
user name or handled. Is the re handed
in X the same like your handle and Link
it I or is different, or it doesn't matter?
No, it's matter. When you try to create a
profile for yourself and have the same user name
that's in, for example, in Instagram and Facebook and YouTube and other
social media platforms, even Link it in or even
any hiring platforms, if you're using the same
username over and over again, it might not be available, you can use a dot or adding one or two or Aster or hash at the end just to make sure that the user name have to be
consistent on all the platforms. Then the tag line for example, my tag line is a future
without borders, sometimes future without taxes, but normally it have to be
the same tag line everywhere. Don't try to say,
I'm a director of XYZ company and then go to X and find creative
content. It doesn't matter. I have to be the
same, it'd have to be consistent giving
the same message. The language also,
if you're speaking more the language of
speaking Spanish, French, Turkish, English,
whatever language you speak, have to be the same everywhere. The visual ties, the colors, tones and fonts have to be almost the same
as much as you can, depending on the
platform that you are using and also always remember. When you try to Google yourself, you will see the
different platforms. If the name is matched with the different platforms and all the consistence is
that's Build Trust. Build trust with your partners, your clients, your
employer, and anyone else. This is the aim of everyone. The next section is how
to audit your messaging. How to make sure that the
message I'm delivering online is accepted and
it reached the clients. Your brand is more than visuals. It's what you say
and how you say it. I would like you to think to
pause for a second and ask yourself the four
questions and then we will dip dive Dev
in each one of them. What message I'm repeating
across my platforms? What topics or themes
I'm known for? I'm speaking to the right
audience or just whatever watching do I sound like
everyone else or I have a voice? I mean, that's answering the question we were
trying to answer in the interchapor is that why
I seem invisible online. Why everyone tried to look me
up, they would not find me. That's you have
to ask questions. What message I'm repeating
across platforms? You have a content
or you're trying to share different information
in different platforms. I have to be the same. It doesn't have to be
exactly the same wording, but at least in the same
niche of the same industry, of the same message. If the topics or
themes I'm known for is relevant in different platforms,
or you're sharing, for example, cat visas
in Tech tok and sharing personal information
on Instagram and link it only
for the business. It's much better to have the same message and same topics across
all the platforms. I'm speaking to
the right audience or just giving
information which is non trilevnt and no
one is following me or no one even interested
in what I'm saying. Do I sound like everyone
else or do I have a voice? My voice tone, what kind of information are sharing?
This is very important. You have to ask yourself these four questions
over and over again. Then if someone reads your content and
can't tell it's you, they are not connecting
with your brand. Connecting with brand,
understanding your information, and how to deliver the
message step by step. Here is the important part.
Ask for external feedback. There's no shame
whatsoever to ask others. Sometimes you are too close to your own work to
see it's clearly. Sometimes you have
your own bubble, you can say Internet
bubble or Google bubble, and you don't look to others and you don't have
to ask you have to get a much more
outside audience, ask three to five colleagues or even past clients,
partners, family, whatever. It's have to be
diverse audience. It doesn't have to be from one
country or from one niche. Try to pick different
people from different backgrounds and differ even different locations. That would be very important. And then you have to ask
them three questions. How would you describe my
brand and three words? Ask them to Google yourself
in different locations. What do you think I'm known for? What's the one thing that stand out and how I show up online. Don't wait for people to ask
you about this question, you have to go and
ask them and write the feedback or try to
gather that information. You will be surprised
what pattern emerging. For example, you think that
I'm an expert in such topic, but the feedback you will get 3-5 colleagues will
be totally different. This input is like
gold and it help remove blind spots you might
not even know they exist. That's a very external. In accounting sometimes they
ask for auditor to check the books and make sure
that it's 100% legit, it's the same thing for
your personal brand. Once you get this information, you will have huge
information that you can use and build on top
of it for the next step. I didn't see brand gaps. Now you have looked
inward and outward. Let's map the gaps
where you are now, versus where you want to be. For example, when
I Google my name, I just find a relevant linked in post
which is not related to me, someone else have
more information using the same name like mine, but you have information
in different niches and my name ranked in the
third or fifth sage. You can fix it. I would
like to be in the page one, my information be constant, and it's all about
what I'm sharing. Let's create a simple table or use the worksheet provided. Here is the and alignment. First thing is the
Google presence. What kind of information
available on me on the Google? Current state on the
personal results, desired outcome is the first
page with business links. The priority is very high. Once you Google yourself and
find that Google presence, now it's only
personal information. I would like to come
up on the first page and have all my business links. That's the most important thing. The next important thing
in the priority is medium is my link in bio. Now it's too vague, I would like to make it
clear and climb face. I will not say I'm a business
development manager. For example, Aqua Cola, that doesn't mean anything. People know what's Co cola doing but doesn't understand the business
development manager, you have to change it, make
it clear and client facing. Then if you don't
have a website, I don't have a
website right now, so I'm creating just to launch one pager,
could be Linktree, could be just Link in the mind, very simple information
about my name. You can say brand awareness
and then the links, and then what kind
of message I'm delivering when people Google
me on different platforms. Right now, it's scattered,
different buys, different photos,
different backgrounds have to be exactly the same. I will clear my niche and
have a different story. That's a very high priority. Once you gather all
this information, you will have your
brand road map, and these gaps
aren't a weakness. There are opportunities
you can just build on top of it and
take it to the next step. We have here a brand audit
worksheet walk throughs. Let's walk through the
worksheet together. We'll fill this
information about myself, my brand, my audience. What shows up in Google? I've Googled myself
at the beginning. What shows up? Just
take a screenshot, put it in the in the worksheet. The key profiles you use, what kind of platforms
you are searching for and then summary visual
and messaging consistency. If the messenger are
driving are not consistent, you have to check each link
one by one and audit or edit all information on such link and make sure that they are relevant
to what you're doing. Ask for external
feedback and then have the top three action
items to approve writer. This is not easy, I understand. But once you fill
this worksheet, you will have enough
information that you already gathered and build on top on it
for the next step. Building a global brand, building a personal
brand is not easy. About building a global brand. Building a global
brand for yourself, takes time, take efforts
and take a mindset change. Don't rush it. Take your time, put this video if needed. Remember, progress
over perfection. It doesn't have to be perfect. When I start just have one link. Now I have hundreds of link. But you need just one link to start and then
build on top of it. Common audit mistakes. Many
people fell into this. You can say gap, they have a lot of other
mistakes and they try to they try to overcome all the
problems on the same time. It's just four simple
steps and we will take it. We'll explain in more details. Watch out for this common traps. It's not a gaps, it's a traps. Trying to be everywhere. Focus on two to three platforms, especially at the beginning. I don't look for someone else who are building
the brand for five, ten, 20, 50 years, and
you're just starting up. Don't try to compete with them. Just focus one, two, three platforms at the
beginning at maximum. Once you enhance the platform, you can add more platforms, but don't try to be everywhere. Looking polished,
but saying nothing. Tile without
substance won't last. For example, if you're trying to create the same message over and over again without trying to say anything,
that could hurt you. So it's much better to have a substance or
amount information to share in the video
that you share. What message you're
trying to say. It's not that you are
sharing 100 posts per day. Just one post would be
enough, but having substance, people that reading
it, there's comments, then s. Number three
is sounding generic. Clarity and personality
beats buzzword. Don't try to overcome
or use jargon and say that I'm very well
known about what I'm doing. Clearly and personality
beat spouse word. Don't try to sound generic and number four is
ignoring feedback. I understand there's
a lot of you can say trolls and there is a
lot of comments that come from bots that
come from human beings, but at least your audience
see things you might miss. One comment that give a feedback or ask more
questions about what you're trying to see a message is
very important and this will make or break your
online global brand. What's next? We just
completed a full brand audit, and that's a major step. And now you know how
you are showing up, what's working and
what's need to work. There's a lot of time and
effort taking each one. What kind of takeaways we
have to show right now? First of all, always
Google yourself. Always Google yourself. Whatever the first
thing I do when I move or travel to
another country, I google myself from different platforms, from
different connections. You would be amazed what kind of information available
in different locations. Be intentional and
consistent across platforms. So try to send a message in X, which is slightly different from Facebook and then totally
different from link. Try the message
to be consistent. Align visual, messaging
and tone that don't to be exactly the
same, but at least similar. Use external feedback to
sharpen your identity, create an action plan to close any gaps
that you might have. In the next chapter, we'll
move into the fun part, creating your brand identity
and positioning statement. Take what you have learned
here and let's shape it how you design the
next version of you. No. One, that's
only one visible. That's only one target. Creating a global brand, takes time and efforts and consistence. Thanks
so much for watching.
4. Chapter 3: Define Your Global Brand Identity: Welcome to Chapter three.
Your brand identity is now how people see you. It's not only your logo
or your job title, it's your story, your values, your message, and your style. In this lesson, you will learn what makes your global
brand identity strong, how to to the right words
to describe yourself, how to share your
identity online in a clear and simple way. Let's start by sharing
the presentation. What is your brand identity? Your global brand identity is the full picture of who you
are and what you stand for. Includes your
mission, your values, your personality, your audience.
I will say them again. You mission, what
you do, your values, what you believe in
your personality, how you sound and act, your audience, who you can
help people remember brands that feel real that
resonate to themselves, clear, the message is very
clear and consistent. That means that
you share the same information over and over again. You are focusing on one niche on one vertical that you
show your expertise in. It could be one vertical with a diversion
of other topics, but it have to be consistent. That's different
between building a local brand or a
personal global brand. Your story very matters and why this use your personal
story to build trust. It's what people
resonate with you. Every strong brand, start
with a story, simple story. Look to Apple,
look to Microsoft, look to Facebook, everyone
have their own story. Could be the story of
the founders themselves, could be the story
of the brand itself. It could be the story
where the idea come from. Think about where you're from. That could be a very good story. Why did you start
doing what you do? What are some problems you solved or willing
to solve for others? What do people often
ask you for help with? Could be different
with other things, but it will be mainly
around these four issues. Where you're from when did
you start doing what you do? It doesn't mean where you're
from which country you are, which region, I mean, where
the story coming from? What are some problems
that you have solved? What do people often
ask about to help with? For example, I grow
in a small village. For example, I grow in
US, I grow in Canada, and glow in the UK,
I glow in Brazil, I grow in South Africa. Couldn't find many
work opportunities. I didn't find any
investors around me. I didn't find many things that
resonated what I'm doing. I start learning digital
marketing online. I get into line very early. I learn digital marketing very
early before anyone else. Today, I help other grow businesses using
the same skills. That could be a very
simple example. You give resonate, your story, where you're coming
from small village. I couldn't find many work
opportunities around my small village or
around small city. I learn digital marketing that open all other global
opportunities around me. Today, I help grow the businesses
using the same skills. Your story shows people, your values and build trust. This is what we are looking
to do over and over again. You brand keyword, that's a very important
thing because now let's just choose
three to five words that describe you
and your brand. If you think in any
global brand like Nike, McDonald's, Tesla, any brand
that's come into your mind. Let's choose three to five word that describe you
and your brand. You have to choose three words. For example, the
famous Microsoft, where do you want to go today? It doesn't relate
to any software or anything that they're doing, but actually it's open
the thinking that I can go through this Microsoft
software to somewhere else. I will give you a very
simple technique. This word should be simple,
honest, and positive. It could be starting with
sample that, for example, for example, Airbnb
is belong anywhere. You can actually go to any
country or any city and you book a home and you act like local. It's a simple brand. Honest. You can be
anywhere and you can belong anywhere that you
can have a home anywhere. I give you a very lot
of positive feedback because it's open a lot
of minds thinking about, where should I go today? Where should I book my
next Airbnb booking? It should be. Instead of going hotel, I would
like to feel local. That's the idea behind
building the street to five Ward and I have to be
simple, honest, and positive. Example, you can use arrival passiont, calm,
global, supportive. For example, our brand
is global expat, so we can use the word global. Could be supportive, you are supporting others
doing the same thing. You are very passionate
about helping others do the same and you have built as a rival support behind yourself. You play by the word, it
will not come instantly. It will take time until
you resilate your keyword. For example, our brand keyword
is future without borders. I'm telling you in the
future or even your future, you can start living in different countries
without borders, or you can enjoy traveling
without borders, or you can have
the opportunities in different countries
without borders. That's the idea. You can use
this word and your bias, in your post and designs
to show who you are. That's give anyone your name, and then you simple three
toward three to five folds that will always
resonate to yourself. Craft your brand message. Your brand message
is a short sentence. It doesn't have to be long, just a short sentence that explains what you
do and who you help. Use this easy formula. I help who do what, so they can. Let's say this again. I
help between bracket two, do what they can
result on a benefit. For example, I help
new entrepreneurs, that's what I help build
their personal brand, do, so they can get
more clients online. I'll repeat this again. I help new entrepreneurs build their brand so they
can get more clients online. You can use the same sequence
depending on your niche, your background, your story, and this is your brand messages. This could be your
elevator *****. When anyone ask you what you
do, in the old good days, you can say I'm an
accountant, I'm a lawyer, I'm a doctor or whatever now, we have to come with a brand. You can also write two to
three sentence summary, what you do, who you can
help, why it's matter. Practice until
it's felt natural. You're saying it even
without thinking. So say to yourself and say to a friend and the
more the practice, the more it will be easy. Starting with, you have seen
that we have built the bias, just a couple three
to five words, future without borders. Then my message, I
help new entrepreneurs build personal brand so they
can get clients online. Then the summary, two to
three sentence summary that could be a
little bit longer. You can take this simple help entrepreneurs build
the Burton brand and put it in a
couple of sentence, and then you can use
it on the next step. Show your identity to online. I've created the Bo, I've created a small summary
and created a long summary. Where I can use
that information? The first and easiest way
you can use it is to update your link it in an
Instagram on the same one. Mostly the people who
tell you Instagram is only it's not for
professional, no. When you use the same bio
and the same summary and the same headlines and
you link it in and a different social media
platform, and Facebook, the same Google W is the NTU and any other search
engine where the NTU that this profiles
for the same guy, of the same profile,
or the same brand. If you using different names
or different information or even different variations or different bios in different social media platforms
or profiles, the AI or the Google
search engines will not resonate that
you are the same profile. You would like to
make a clear search when anyone using your
name or your title, whatever to search you, you will come up
on the results and all your social media platforms. Also, you can update your
website or portfolio. If you have a Link
in Bo Linktree or anything similar to
this, you can update it. And also you can update if
you have a YouTube channel, use this information in the Bo. If you don't, you can use it to introduce yourself to others. If you're joining any
Badcast or Intro, that could be mx, doing this. I'm helping others
to deliver this. By the way, also the
most important thing is update your email signature, so it will always
resonate for you. Each email you send, whatever it's a marketing
email, it's introduction email, it's a follow up email
people you know your name, your brand, and what
you're doing everywhere. So it could be everywhere. Also you can use it in
your whatsapp business or telegram bio so that
resonate to the same thing. Sharing the same message. If people try to connect
you in Whatsapp, that would be the same
message and Link it in, it will be the same
message in N Instagram, it will be the same
message in Facebook. Creating such holistic idea, that could be the best way
to build a global brand. Always, always, this is
a very important tip. Be consistent. Say
the same thing in different places
so people remember you in different platforms. You don't have to be
famous in every place, but at least you have
to be consistent. Consistent is the
key for success and building a global
personal brand. We have here in many project your brand identity
temple template. So let's put your
identities together. I want you to pause this video and answer
this four questions. Very simple four questions, but I would like you
to resonate this and think about it in
more clear way. What is the story in
two to three line? That's a long summary
that we have discussed? What values are
important to you? That could be the small
thing, couple of letters. It's not the story, not 23 line, you can say one sentence, and then two, three, four, three to 54
describe your brand. That could be belong anywhere
where you want to go today, your future without borders. And you can mix between them. One of the things that's
very important to learn is who you can help and what
you can do to help them. That's a very
important thing you can always take credit for. For example, I would
say this again, what is the story in
two to three lines? What values are
important to you? What three to five, four
describe your brand? Who do you help, and what
do you help them do? Now, use your answer to create your global brand
identity statement. Example, I'll say this. I'm a creative designer or
help small business owners build beautiful websites so they can grow online.
Let's think about it. That's me. I'm a
creative designer or I'm a brand starter or
I'm a tax consultant, or I'm an expert in this, whatever you're expert in. Who help small business owner? That's a target audience. I help freelancers, I help entrepreneurs, I help investors. Small business owners,
build that's the reason, build beautiful websites or
attract more clients online, or build strong
YouTube channels. The result they can grow online. That's the simple.
If you can answer this and make it your story, your values, three to five
word, who do you help? What do you help them for,
that will make everything easier and you'll be able to build on the next
step. Great work. Now you have defined your
story, your message, you have wonderful
keyword, your audience, you will help, and your
personal identity. You have lots of tool
to build, clear, global brand identity that people would trust and remember. Remember, this is your brand so it can grow and
change with you. Doesn't have to be
fixed all the time. In the next chapter, we'll
explore how to communicate your identity using content and visuals online. See you there. Thanks so much for watching.
5. Chapter 4: Create Your Brand Assets – Turn Ideas Into Reality: To Chapter four. In
the last chapter, we worked in your
brand identity, who you are, what
you care about, and how you want to be seen. Now it's time to turn your
ideas into something real. So let's start the presentation. We will create
your brand assets. That means the things people see read and interact
with online. You Bio, your profile, your visuals, and more. In this chapter, we will write strong professional Bo create
your brand visuals, colors, fonts and images, set up or update your
social media profiles, build your brand kit for the later use in websites,
slides, and more. Let's begin. Write your Bo. Let's start with Bo. This short What is a Bio It is a short description
that tells people, others who you are and what
you do in a very simple way. You can use Bio Link itI and Instagram on your
website and email signatures, it doesn't have to
be professional or non professional way. As you can use it for
broadcast interviews. Let's start with a
very simple format. I am your role, who helps your audience
with your offer, so they can benefit.
I'll say it again. I am your role, who helps your audience
with your offer, so they can benefit from. Example, I'm a digital
coach who help small business owners grow online so they can
get more clients. That's a very simple bio. It's into the core,
explain everything. It says, I'm a
digital coach that your role I'm helping
the audience, which is small business. You offer grows online, so the benefit so they
can get more clients. Example number two,
I'm a remote designer. That's my role. I
work with startups, create strong brand visuals that remote designer
is your role, your audience is the startups. You offer is create
strong brand visuals. The benefit, they will be
able to attract more clients. Now write your own,
keep it short, just two to three lines. Tip, start with the draft and
then improve it over time. As we've discussed before, you can share it
with your audience. You can share it with
your close friends, second friends or
even online people who are following you
on different platforms. Choose your brand visuals. This is a very important
point because the colors and information that you share online will keep people
attracting you all the time. Your brand visuals
of the things people see when they visit your
profile or website. They help people feel you your style or even before
you reading award. Visuals includes colors,
forms, photos, and logo. That's a four thing you need to focus in outside them again, color photos, and logos. Step number one, choose
your brand colors, pick two to three colors,
example combinations. Let's go through different
ways of variations. The first one is blue, plus white, plus gray. That's professional and calm
if you would like to make it very simple minimalistic colors, could be blue, white, and gray. And then you can a more bold and modern color
could be yellow and black, and then natural and friendly
could be green and beige. You can mix 2-3
colors depending on your national favor
colors, what you prefer. For example, myself, I
prefer white and blue, could be white, blue and red, I don't prefer white and red, it could be white and blue and different variations
could be the background white and the colors and font in in white and
the other way around. It doesn't have to
be one sic thing, it could be changed
from place to place and then choose one
to two simple phones. Use clean, easy to read phones. For example, like
Open Sans, Roboto, Latu there's different
fonts that you can use, but always keep it simple. You can use Tahoma, I mean, you can play by the
font until you find something that will deep I mean, the fonts and logos, if you put them together, they can make a
different identity. If you keep playing with
the colors and photos, you can get something that's
totally different from what you have seen or
approached before. Okay. So let's go to here
and then do another one, which is pick one to two
profile photos. Choose clear. Friendly and
professional photos, don't just use, you
don't need studio, you just need good light
and plain background. It doesn't have to be costing. It's much better in building
your online identity and global branding to use
actual photos of yourself. AI generated photos is good. But once people resonate, you can use AI generated
photos yourself in other, but the profile picture have to be much better to be yourself, especially at this stage because the people we get resonate, this is your face and it's not something that we'll be
able to change in each day. What would be the
next step? I we have to use the information
that we have learned to update our protofol Links and let's start with the
most famous one is set up or update your profiles. Let's apply your Bio and visuals
to your online profiles. Now you have use Bio. You have Qs a font,
you have choose color, and you choose a
profile picture. Starting with Linked In, add your new Bio
as the A section. Be different ways
and variations, but it have to be
something that really is. It doesn't have to
be stick forever, but you can change it. Use your photo and brand
colors in your banner. Make sure your headlines say
that what you do clearly, example, remote business coach, helping freelancers
grow globally. It could be something like
independent consultants, helping with business setup
in different countries. It could be global
brand strategy. It could be an
international lawyer, it could be an online
coach for helping courses. So you have to use
the different ways and choose the best one that
resonate with your profile. Then for the Instagram
and X and TikTok, update you by using
one to two sentence depending on the number allowed character
in each platform. Add a link to your
site or booking page. That's a very important because that show that you
are professional. Use your new colors and photos to your
profile. Always met. Some people say that they put a very funny photo in
the Facebook and a different one in Link
itn and another one in X and another one in Twitter,
and then Instagram, no. Try to make your photo as simple as Ken and
the same everywhere. Same colors, same bio,
same links everywhere. You can use free
color tools like Canva to make banners and highlight covers
with your brand colors. That will make
people when they son different platforms
on online content, it will be the same. This words in it. This is X. This is why this is Z. The more the information
will be shared the same, everything will much
more consistent. Let's start with Banket. Branket is small file or document that include all
your branding basics. You can use it when you
create presentations, build a website,
or hire designer. It's like a file that contain all the
information about how you resonate with other when you're creating the brand
and including the following. Full name and title without initials as we discussed before, short and long
version if you buy the short version,
maybe 160 characters. The longer one could
be 280 characters, could be 2000 character, three soon character,
depending on how complex you buy,
brand characters. Brand colors with
your hex codes is possible if using
green or red or blue, which one of them are using mostly the different
variations of color. So if you have the hex code, that would make any desired
life much more easier, font to use. We discussed this. You have to have aesthetic font all over the place,
logos or simple. It could be an optional
if you're using your photo or having
your own brand, even if it's your name. Just having a photo is simple, that would make things
more attractive. Social media links
also to everything that you do email
and contact info. A few sentence about
your mission of value, what you would like to bring to the world and how you
would like to do them. And you can create the Bankit
in different variations. It could be in Google Doc. You can use Bankit. Canva has a very special way which has something called
Bankit that will allow you to create all
this information and keep them ready online so you can share
them also notion or even using Word document. Use this Bankit for
for the following. You'll be to use it on
social media graphics, email templates,
slide presentations, online courses or profiles. If someone asks you,
I would like to have your photo or have information about yourself, you
have the brain kit, you can share it
with them instantly, and this will save
time and effort when you're trying to deduce
yourself to anyone. What's next? We have design
6. Chapter 5: Grow Your Visibility – Create and Share Content Consistently: Welcome to Chapter
five. In this chapter, we will help you grow
your visibility online. That means more people
will see your name, your message, and your work. Let's start the presentation. We are not talking
about being famous. We are talking about become visible and trustworthy
in your field. You have to be the
king of your niche. Whenever you are a
coach, freelancer, consultant, or online
business owner, people need to see you to
hear from you and trust you before they will start working with you or
thinking about working. Today, we will learn
how to create content, even you are shy or
don't feel creative. What to post and link it
in Instagram or YouTube, how to build simple
weekly content plan, how to repurpose or use
your content to save time, tools to make content
creation easy. Let's begin. Section number one here, why content matters? Content is like case, cash is king, but
content is king. An online word. Imagine this. You meet someone new.
You ask, what do you do? They say, I help people
move their business online. Now you check the link
it in on Instagram and there's nothing.
Would you trust them? Properly not. But if
you see helpful post, videos of them talking
article with tips, then you think, Wow, this person know their
stuff very well. I trust them, I would
like to hire them, I would like to know
more about them. I can follow them. That
is the power of content. When people see your post, videos or ideas online, they start to trust you. They understand what you
do, they remember you. So even if they don't even if you don't
have many followers, it's important to show up. Keep showing up is the
most important aspect of building a global brand on
online professional presence. Here is the most common question everyone is asked, what to post? You don't have to
dance or go viral or or keep a lot of cats or dogs and try to
do something funny. You only need to share
helpful, simple, real content. Think, what can I share to
help inspire my audience? What kind of information I know, no one else knows. Here is a five conton
types you can use, and it would be easy whatever
you are trying to share. The first one is educational. Teach something
small and useful. Example, three tools I use
to manage my remote team. Three tools I use to
be visible online. Five information about how to start a business
online, anything. It's like a small, many, many course, education. Just try to educate others about something
that you know and they don't know or something
that you know and you would like to share them
online. Personal story. Share a listen from your
life or business example, how I got my first
client from Instagram, how I start my YouTube channel, how I grow my online courses, how I start my coaching, how I get my second
or third client, how I make my 100 K
or 1 million online. Just a personal story about
yourself, not a education. Something personal. Number
three is behind the scenes. Show your daily work or process. Example, a day in my life
at the digital nomad, a day in my life at
the remote worker, a day in my life
as online coach. What you do daily, it's not a personal story,
it's not educational, but something that
you normally don't share and it's kept
behind the doors. Doesn't have to be
a personal thing, doesn't have to be something that I'm not afraid to share. Something that could help others understand about
your life generally. Number four is tips and
tools, recommended apps, website, books, what kind
of apps that you use? What kind of service
provider that you when you do your
business online use. My top three free design
tools, for example, I use Camber, note, Google Dook docs
or anything else. Anything tips and
information or tools, even if it's very well famous, even if it's very well. For example, many people think that everyone knows about Canva. Actually, now,
there's many people who never heard of Canva. Sharing the tools
and information that use and what kind they
can resonate yourself, that will help others
build your portfol. And the last thing is
testimonials or results, share your client's wins. Nice feedback. Example,
here's what a client said. After working with me,
it could be trust pilot, it could be like Google reviews, could be Facebook review, and also use simple language. One idea ppose don't try to overrate and give a lot of
especially educational posts. If you testimonial try
to make it a simple. I join I've worked with more. He helped me do one, two, three, four, and that's
it. Very simple. Try to be and don't try to put jargons or information that will make you look professional, but actually that will make people don't work
with you generally. Great, simple content plan. Content plan is it's like a content machine that you will use over
and over again. Make sure that all the
posts that available in different social media
is relevant to what you do. You don't need to post
every day in each platform, but at least at least start with two to
three posts per week, at least the minimum is
two to three per week. It could be five
per week when you have more confidence,
would be ten per week, could be two to three per day, once you have the
more confidence, once you understand
what to share, what kind of information that will be related
to yourself. And then step by step plan. Choose three content
types from above. Pick, for example,
we've discussed about educational personal story behind the scene tips and
tools system manuals, choose three content types above from the one
that we've shared. Pick the days. Example,
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, that's the most common,
you can say days to post. Write draft using your
phone or computer, save them, add a photo
or graphic or video, you can use AI definitely. Pose and reply to comments. Once you get an engagement
from the online, it's very, very important to reply to pose, even just the simple thank you. Appreciate it. Thank
you very much. You can open the doors for more engagement when
you reply to comments. Because people sometimes
ignore comments and say, I don't reply to comments. I have one zillion
followers and no no. Even if you have a
couple of hundred, just follow them and
reply back to them. Canva, for visuals. That's the most tools
that you will use Notion, Google Dps for planning, buffer or later for schedule. There's a many platforms
that can for example, you can start on
Monday and you can schedule all the post
across different days. Could be for months,
it could be for weeks, if you have enough
ideas to but always try to make it a monthly basis if you have
enough time in post, and it would be habit. Once you get into
it, it would be much more easier to
build your audience. Example, keep playing. Monday, you will post educational tips,
Wednesday personal story, Friday tool or client
feedback that you have work with and keep going all over
the time again and again. It's okay to gp things
simple, stay consistent. That's the most important thing. Then we can start the
repurpose content. Repurpose your content. Let's say you write
one link it in post, you can turn that one post
into five pieces of content. Slide for Instagram,
short YouTube videos, a tweet on X, a newsletter,
link it in article. It doesn't have to be exactly
the same information, but could be the same idea. This saves time and build
your brand everywhere. Repeat your message often. Most people don't
see all your posts. Don't assume that everyone is
following you post by post. If you keep posting, let's
say, if you have, for example, created a post and
link it in and then a video link it in and
then a link in article, don't assume that all
these three types of content will be shown
to all your followers. Some of them will
see the article, some of them will see the post, some of them will see the video, depending on their you can say prefaces and what they
would like to follow. People like, some
people like videos, some people would like to
use articles and so on. You have to be entated from
different place to place. Then here the most
important section is overcome fear of posting, what people will think
about me when I'm posting cats or dogs. No, you can post
something funny. There's nothing
wrong with posting cats and dogs videos or
personal stories, anything, but you have to is this post helping my business and helping
my audience, yes or no? Always ask yourself before
posting and remove the fear. Very simple post can go viral, very complex post, no
one can care about it. Many people are afraid
to post online they say. What if no one like it? What if I look silly? I'm not good at writing. This is a very overthinking
about posting online, but think about it. Can you use AI that will make
you much more good writing, but use your own words
using AI. Do I look silly? What is silly to yourself could be amazing
to someone else. No one will like it,
it doesn't matter. You just keep
posting. That's it. Even if no one is listening,
just keep posting. One time, things will go viral. Always remember this
let's fix this. Start with small posts,
one to two sentence. Don't try to be perfect.
Try to be real. Your first two posts
might be okay. That's normal. You will get better practice. The
more and more you do it. I know people who are
doing for 20 years, 15 years, ten years, five
years, it doesn't matter. The more you understand
what you're trying to say, how to resonate yourself, things will be getting
better by practice. But get out of the fear. Think of your post as
small conversations. You're just sharing ideas
drip by drip, tip by tip. Then how can it track eye grows after you
have the content plan, after you've done all things and you start keeping posting? How do you know if your
content is working? The first thing, look at who is liking or or make
living comments. That's a very important thing. A people visiting your profile? How many people are
visiting your profile? Linknterstts. If you are a member
of LinkIPfessional, they will give you more stats. This book it's depending on
likes, shares and comments. People can contact you. Did anyone send you
a message related to what you have post or no? That's very important
also. You can also track the
number of followers. How many people
are following you, how many people are not following
you on a monthly basis. Don't do it on a daily basis. I would make your life much more easier to track it on monthly
basis. It's like wait. And engagement, Lies,
comments, shares, and different platforms, website
clicks or email sign up, how many people are
signing ws letter, sending you email formula and never ignore a comment,
even if you don't like it. Just try to engage with it because that will give
you a lot of ideas, even if it's criticism or something that you don't like it or it could give you a lot
of ideas for the next steps. Track once per month. Don't worry daily. Don't give it on a daily basis. If you forget about
it for months, things you will see how
much things are changing. We have a mini project here
in one week content plan. Your task for the Sapter will be create one week content plan. Use the template we give you, includes your audience,
you're posting for, three post topics, a platform. It's LinkedIn, Facebook,
Instagram, your goal, what's your goal behind
the post to educate, inspire, or promote your
business, give a message. For example, here, Monday, three tools I use,
that's a topic. The type is educational. The goal is helping others. Wednesday, how I
started my business. It's a story, just giving
an inspiration to others. Friday, client feedback,
social proof, build trust. I will say them again.
The day is Monday. The topic is three tools I use. This is the type of content is educational and the goal
behind it is help others. Then in Wednesday, the topic
will be how I started, it will be a story
and the goal is to inspire others do myself. And the day on Friday
the topic will be client feedback on
testimonials type. It will be social proof
that's online that you have a lot of testimonials and the goal is build trust
with my audience. You can use notebook, Google doc or your own
worksheet to have other. There's a lot of tools online
available so you can build your content plan and make it to the next steps. Well done. We just learned how to grow your personal brand while sharing a very simple
content regularly. You now know why
content matters, what to post and
what not to post, how to make simple
weekly plan for posting, how to reuse your content on different platforms and
different forms and structure, how to track your gross. In the next chapter,
we will talk about networking and building
real connections with others who
support your brand and goals until then try your one week content
plan and post something small on
daily basis if you can. You've got this. Thanks
so much for watching.
7. Chapter 6: Build Meaningful Connections and Grow Your Network: Come to Chapter six.
In this chapter, we'll work through networking or in simple words
how to make real, helpful connection
with other people. When you build strong network, you get support,
you get new ideas, you find opportunities
and you grow faster. Let's share our
presentation here. Even if you are shy
and new to this, you can still build
a great network. You just need to be real
clear and consistent. Let's begin. What is a network? Your network is a
group of people you know and who you know, this includes friends and
family, clients and colleagues. Mentors and people
you follow online, people you meet in real life, or in social media
and you can mix between those and never estimate connection because
the connection could open a connection to something else which
open to another network. Each one of us have
connection around them or you can say first connection, but each one of these connection have
another network behind it. A strong network doesn't mean that you know
southern people. It means that you have ten
or 20 good connections who trust you and can help you. Your goal, build relationship
that as honest and helpful, not just for sales. Always look for the long term. Don't look just for
that short term. Why networking matter?
It's very important. Let's look at what good network can give you and what bad network
can give you. First of all, opportunities. Your network can send clients
for job offers, support. Your network can give you
advice when you have questions. Gross, talking to other
help you learn new things. It's open the doors for you to get more knowledge,
to get understanding, to get more sales, to get more, you can say
connection to other individuals. And one of the most important
aspect is visibility. When people talk about you, more people discover your brand, you're building a global brand. You have to need connections
in different content, not just focusing in one
country and one region. So networking is not just
about talking to people, it's not just about who I am and what I do and
what I help others. It's building a community
around your mission. This is a very important point. How can I talk about
myself to others. I'm shy. I'm not very
good in networking. I just have a couple
of eases when I try to express
myself to others. We will try to make it
as simple as possible. To make good connections, you must know how to talk and who you are
and what you do. Check the other chapters before, which formulas that you can use, Let's make your elevator pitch. Elevator pitch that
just think about it, you get into the elevator with an investor and he's
staying for you, let's say, 25 to maximum 30 seconds, how you convince an investor
getting with you into an elevator during 30 to 62nd
that he can invest in you. He is a forma. He is a formula. I help, who you help? Second do what you
do, what I do. So they can result of benefit. The same thing that we've
discussed in other chapters, but it's more targeting
to an individual. It's not targeting
into your bio, it's targeting to how to
create your elevator pitch. For example, I help
online teacher build. I help online teachers, the target build the reason, personal brand, so they can
grow the courses globally. I help online teachers
build personal brand, so they can grow their
courses globally. Practicing this out loud, keep it short, keep it clear. The more you practice, the more you will
get into the mood. Even if it's something
that your mind will take at least a
couple of weeks until you'll be able to
practice it and you'll be able to say it
without even thinking. This makes people
understand you quickly, easy and you'll be able to open doors for
another conversation. Section number four,
where I can find people, where I can get
networking opportunities, where can I open the doors for
others, and what can I do? Normally you can meet
people in different ways, the online places and
the offline places. You can say each platform or
each place have their own a way of entering and how to greet others and how
to follow up with them. Let's start with the
most common thing is downline places. First of all, it linked in the most famous platform for connecting individuals
and businesses. You can introduce
yourself when you build a good profile that will
act as your kind CV. That will be your online TV. If you try to Google
your name correctly as we've discussed
in other chapter, one of the most first or
second Google results will be mainly link it. To more professional
you can join groups and keep posting. The more you post about what
you do and how you do it, you'll be able to attract
audience and then you will open connections and
then you will meet people and they
get opportunities, whatever sales opportunities
or something else. The second one is
the Facebook groups. Facebook is not the groups. The normal Facebook
is mainly designed to having one to one connections with people you know
in personal life or your family or
colleagues and such. But there's something
hidden in Facebook. It's called Facebook groups. Not the groups that people just share information
or ask for help. No. There's a lot of professional
groups now in Facebook, even some of them are paid, not paid directly by Facebook, but you have to pay in
order to join the group. So you can introduce yourself, but in order to do this, you have to follow
the same rules and regulations like the link it in, you have to have a very good
business Facebook profile. You have to show what kind
of experience that you have and not try to be a sales guy at the beginning. You have to introduce yourself. You have to give a lot
of knowledge and a lot of information so people
be able to follow you. They can ask you a question,
or they can invite you to other groups that they manage so you can share
their expertise. The third one is X or Twitter, mani blog and everyone
knows about Twitter, but the only thing is that you can use X or Twitter to connect with similar mindset individuals who share the same background. It's a very if you check the tweets the kind of posts that doing during the
last couple of weeks, you understand the
individual very fast and you'll be able
to engage with them. One of the things
that is very easy, especially an X is
not available on Facebook on LinkII that you don't need people to follow you. You can engage directly. If the tweet or the post is available for anyone to comment, you can join the conversation. You can add your expertise. You can add your opinion directly without
involving anyone else. As you've seen, LinkedIn
and Facebook and X, each one of them have
the Burlington code. The first option is available is telegram or discode communities, which is more
closed communities. You have to create a very good telegram profile,
a business one, and then try to join
groups that sharing the same interest and
try to deduce yourself. Always not try to be silly, always not try to be salesy, not try to I'm coming here
to sell my information. No, just try to give as much
knowledge at the beginning and people will follow
you and they will ask questions and
you build comments. The last thing is Instagram. Instagram is very good in
following others and check what they're doing or also sharing your expertise and
YouTube comments. If you found a lot of you can say viral YouTube
videos or channels and you would like to share your feedback or opinion
in the comments, but always try to
be don't try to share links or just try
to introduce yourself. Be polite, follow
the instructions. If the channel or you can say other comments are
trying to be off the topic, try to be on topic
as much as possible and people will provide you
as much of information as. It's a way to getting
also another ideas and sharing and try to get as much as exposure to other platforms. Then the offline,
there's many things. There's a mix between the
online and offline now, but many of the
offline places are, for example, events and
meet ups, there's plenty. It doesn't have to
be 100% offline, but it could be mixed
between, for example, there's an app called Met
Up, especially for PATs. There's many people who are traveling digital nomads,
online creators, crypt. You can find a niche in different places and you can
go to events and meet up through the Link in and
through Facebook and through other platforms.
Co working spaces. If you are signing up to
working spaces, whatever, on daily basis or weekly basis, or even monthly basis,
if you have long term, you will need a lot of similar mindset individuals who share the same ideas like yourself and mostly co working spaces, co living spaces, having a calendar events that
happening from time to time. You can join them. You
can introduce yourself and not try to be selves
as much at the beginning, but try to share
knowledge and help. That's the key for
opportunities and opening doors to get more information.
Business conferences. If you are in London,
in New York, Dubai, Miami, Istanbul, South Africa, whatever country Singapore,
whatever country you are, whatever region you
are of the world, there is a lot of business
conference happening. Whatever it's directly in your niche or behind the niches, if you're doing
sales and marketing, you'll find a lot of
sales and marketing, accounting, low crypt taxes, for me, there's a lot, there's almost business
conference going everywhere. When you join a
business conference depending on free or paid, you open up the opportunity that you can network
with other people. You can introduce yourself
through a platform, and then you can meet
them physically, or you can use the old style and go to the business conference
and introduce yourself to companies and try to network with opening
your network to other. Always, once you find someone
in the offline world, try to bring into your
online community. Through Link in and Face. So once you find someone who share the same
ideas like yourself, just introduce them to yourself
and everything will be. That's the way to
grow your network, you can say step by step
and you'll be able to get. Choose one to two
platforms where you ideal audience is active. Focus there. You don't have
to focus on all platforms, but understanding about the other platforms will
make life easier. If your clients
are professional, for example, go to Link it
in. We've discussed this. If you're creative, maybe
on Instagram and YouTube, that will give you more insights into other things
that you can focus. How to start a conversation? You say, I'm standing there. I don't know what to do, and then reaching out
can feel scary. It's like because you're getting out of your
comfort zone once you understand how to get out of your comfort zone and
break the barriers, but it doesn't have to be scary. It doesn't have to be
that. Let's start simple. Simple message, for example, and link it in how to
start conversation. Hi, I'm X. I really like
your post about topic. Why? I also work in your field and I
would love to connect. Very simple message, and you can match it with
a different way. You can say, Hi, Joan, I really like your post
about networking online. I work in the Simo marketing
field like yourself, and I would love to connect with you for future opportunities. Very simple to the core.
This is the simple one. You can match and clear
different ideas and take it step by
step until you be able to know which
one is working. There's no best answer for this. The most important
information that you have, you'll be able to use
over and over again, but it's keep trial
and error until you find you can save the best form. Not everyone will be
able to reply back to Link in message
depending on network, how many people you
know there, what kind of expertise they have. My people simply don't reply. They are still busy or
they have a large network. So it's depending when
you're trying to do. Simple message, for example,
in Facebook or email, I saw it commence in the group, I'm working something
similar. Let's stay in touch. I would like to don't just
send an invitation or just friend request without
such simple introduction. That will make a huge difference because when you're sharing something personal about them, that will resonate with them and that will open the door for yourself and getting
in touch with the people who would
like to network with. Always, always.
Don't try to sell. Just connect like a human being. Think that you are standing in a business event
and you've seen someone that interests you that you know before,
you've seen online, and then ask questions like what you are
working in these days, where you have been traveling, what's one thing that
excited you right now? Always remember, people remember
kindness and curiosity. If you're trying to know as much information
about the others, whatever you have done
or your research, or this is just a
random connection. Try to be as polite, as kindness and
share information about yourself and
listen to others. The more listen, the more
you'll be able to open doors. One of the most important thing is how to maintain connection, especially in this very
busy busy busy world. Making connection is
just the first step. When you try to
introduce yourself, you request in Facebook or
Link N or you follow in X, you must keep it alive. Here's how send a
quick hello every one to two months
to see what you can say projects or ideas
or shares experience or something that you
share or they share that you have an interest
could be comments, it could be bark messages, it could be video that you
have shared and so on. Share helpful articles or tools that resonate with the people
around you and network. For any changes in the network them when
they share good news, if they have been promoted, change jobs, change it
opportunities, open new business, always try to be as human as possible and ask for cafe chats. It could be, I'd like
to grab you cafe. For example, you're saying
the same city in London, New York, even if you are
traveling, I mean, normally, I keep traveling between
places and sometimes people say that I'm currently in Dubai and I've seen
that you in Dubai. Can we meet for
online or off Chet? Can we have a quick
quote I would like to share with you something
doesn't have to be sales, just opening opportunities and keep it alive from time to time, especially if you would like
to keep in touch with them. Also there's a simple
notebook or CRM like notion or a table to
remember names and dates. You can convert all the data
you have and link it into a CRM and you keep in touch with them through the platform and
through other ways. Focus on quality not quantity. It doesn't matter how
many million connections you have, but how many ten, 20, 30 of them
actually that can help you open doors and keep connection with them
from time to time? It's not just about the numbers, it's about the quality
of the numbers. Then Section number seven
is collaborate with others. How to work together
with, how to share ideas. In this hour, you can
say online first word, there's many things
that you can do with others to be engaged with them. Network also meaning
working together. Think about people you can
invite if you have a Badcast, if you're a host, you
can invite others to be guest or you could be
guest in their Badcast. You can invite them on
Badcast or YouTube, it could be on other platforms also to share ideas,
to discuss the topic, or they might be an
interesting news or something that you
will take their opinion, whatever yourself on
the others and try to share such content online. Interview them for a blog or you'll be interviewed
for their blogs. Do live event with them
in case you know them more and you have synergy or there's a lot of chemistry between yourself
and you would like to create live event or sharing something that
you can live together, something that you
would like to share. Share each other content. Engagement with others, mention
others in the connects. Not just try to be
about, for example, if you're sharing something
about digital nomads or sharing something about
building a global brand online, try to see who people are in the same field and then
connect with them and then share them and then ask their opinion about the
posts that you have had. This will keep you engaged. This will open the doors and
will help you always alive. One of the things is that I will give you an example as how to
build trust with others. I love you videos
in remote work. Would you like to do a short Instagram live
together next week, we can share the same insights. Don't be afraid to ask. Most people are open for it. If they have the
time and the effort, you can join Instagram. That's another way
to connect together. You can have live chat together, Instagram or link in whatever platform that
you prefer to use, and you can share the opinion. That's how to build
you can start online and then you can
go to the offline and it could be the
other way around. You can start offline
and then you can go to. Here in section number eight, we have a mini project. Build your connection map. Each one of us has a
map and it could be, as we discussed, an online
map or offline map. Let's build your connection map, take out a worksheet or a
paper and write your goal. Example, get more clients
from my design business. By the way, your first connection could
not be the client, but the second connection for the connection
could be the clin. Okay. Then second thing is less pi people
you already know. Less five people you
want to connect with, less three communities to join this week that related
to what you're doing. Make a plan to send three
messages in this week. I'll say them again. Starting
by, write your goal. Get more clients for
my design business, and then second thing, less five people
you already know, you'll be able to use them and less and then
another five people you want to connect with. Was a second connection
between you and them, how to reach, what message
you will send them? What kind of opportunities they can open the doors for you and then less three communities or groups in different platforms
you want to join and why. Make a plan to send at
least three messages this week to individuals
who would like to connect them and you have
done a little bit of research about their backgrounds
and what resulate them. This is how you can go from
invisible that no ones knows about you to visible and then trusted or
building a trust, taking time and effort until you bud your own understanding
and take it to the next. Congratulations.
In this chapter, you learn how to understand
what real network is. Introduce yourself
with confidence, find your people
online and offline, start simple human conversation, Ep connections, strong,
tolerate full gross. We have learned a
lot in this chapter. I would like you to pause the video and try to
think about it again, understand what real network

so much for watching.
8. Chapter 7: Monetize Your Brand – Turn Your Reputation into Income: Welcome to Chapter seven. We have worked hard to build
your global personal brand. Now it's time to monetize
it. Let's make some money. That means stay your name, skills, repetition
into a real income. Let's start the
presentation here. In this chapter, we will answer how you can earn money
with your brand. What options are best for you? How to start even
with no products yet. You don't need to be famous. You need to be useful, clear, and ready to share value, and then monetize
your experience. Let's begin. What
does monetize mean? To monetize means to make
money from something. You are not just
working for money. You are building a personal
brand that attracts income from many places,
especially online. With a strong personal brand, people trust you to build
relationship with you. And when people trust you, they are ready to pay
for your service, buy your products,
recommended you for others. Your brand become your business. I'll say it again, with
a strong personal brand, people trust you and
when people trust you, they are ready for
pay for your service, buy your products
recommended you for offs and brands
become your business. How can I motize my brand? Three ways to
monetize your brand. Simple and easy. Here are three simple ways to
earn income online. The first thing and the
most straightforward thing is services, time for money. You exchanging your
experience or time for value. You can help someone directly, for example, coaching
or consulting. People poke you at the
consultant or the coaching, freelancing, designing,
writing, and marketing. Done
for you services. You can do other services on others behalf for
exchange of value and money. You need skills, time,
and clear offer. For example, I'm selling 1 hour consultation
call or $10,000. I'm selling a coach services for one month for four
calls for $2,000. You have to be very clear
what you're selling because you are exchanging
time for money. It's always something against. The next thing that you
can sell is products, which you create one time like this course and you
sell many time. You can sell something
people can use, for example, e books,
courses, templates. If you are for example, have a very specific
niche and you create an e book about it.
You can sell the book. It doesn't have to be
free this you will create ones and you will sell more and also courses like this one. You can create the E
books and courses into one valuable course or even you can match between
the Eok the course, extra template and even
coaching core with you, including on one package. You can mix between the
service and products. Doesn't have to be one of them, could be mixed between booths. And also the digital guides. You can say, I'm helping entrepreneurs build
the global business online, and this is my guideline, 123, this is how to
start your brand. This is for beginner, this is for intermediate,
this is for experts. What you need to start selling, you just need good
content and sample tools. You can use Gumroad,
you can use ditchable. There's many available online
when you can also monetize your experience and start selling into something valuable. The third thing is community, community and membership,
ongoing value. That's kind of it's not a passive income because
you have to invest a lot of time and effort into
running a community. You build space where people
pay you monthly or yearly. Example, private group with
weekly calls where you join and weekly calls online and you give your experience
and unswor comments. It's like a private community. It's similar to the one
in YouTube if you have YouTube channel but it's a very private and
it's one to one. Online community with resources. Or you can have a Patrion on Substack newsletter
where you engage with your audience on a weekly or monthly basis
through a subscription, what could be monthly,
could be yearly, could be forever,
just one time payment and you can get access
whatever to the newsletter. You will need loyal audience
that you have built, people who believe in what you're doing and
consistent content. You have to keep
posting or creating information related to the niche or the industry that you're
sharing into that community. Choose one to begin. Later, you can mix two or three of them. For example, you can start with the service,
you can sell your time, and then you can sell a
product like a course, and then you can mix
between the community. You can mix the three. You can have a course, you
can have a coaching call, and you can have a
membership community on one services that's
including everything. Many online platforms
are doing this. You don't have to do everything.
If you're happy just providing coaching services
or consulting, that's fine. If you're happy with selling
courses, that's fine. If you're happy
with the community, it doesn't have to
be all of them, just one or two or
even three depending on what you plan and how you would like to monetize or plan your time and effort
step by step. Design your first offer. Now, let's build
your first offer, what you give to
people for money. Answer this five question that will come into your
mind. Who is it for? What kind of you're
creating something, but you need to know your
target audience. Who is it for? What kind of people will be resonate with what
you're offering for. If they are targeting
in one region or this could be a global
course or global service, anyone in the world can take it. For example, like
building a global brand. What problem do they have? What kind of obstacle
they try to solve when they try to book a call
with you directly? What do you will give them? What kind of expertise? How you will be able to solve the problem through
guideline eBook through a step by
step guide and then convert it from problem to
be something to be solved. How do you deliver
it? It's a call, it's a video, like a course
or a PDF like an eBook. Then the last thing,
what is the price? What kind of value or price you put into
selling your course? Some people provide
the service for free, which are not recommended
at all because you invested time and effort
in building something, so it should be monetized. But what is the price? Who is it for? What
problem do you have? How will be able to
solve the problem? How will be able to
deliver the solution, and what the price
they're willing to pay? That's the five questions. Once you answer this
question, it will be very easy to build and have the
first off for example, I help new freelancers build their first
online portfolio. I offer 1 hour Zoom
session for $100. So I help freelancers. That's the people I
help freelancers. How can I help freelancer build their first
online portfolio. You're a target for freelancers
who are just starting up doesn't where to go, which platform they can use, how you delivered the service? It would be called
1 hour Zoom through platform called Zoom session
for $100, data price. You're helping freelancers,
build first online portfolio. You offer one online
session for $100. That you created an offer. You've answered
the five questions and you'll be able to move
forward to the next step. But always remember,
keep it simple. Use Esport. Be cleared and focus. The more you clear, the more the message will be
delivered and you'll be able to attract more customers one by Section number four. How to talk about your offer, don't be shy about sharing
information about this. Now that you have an offer,
how do you share it? Here is a formula.
Tell your story, share your results or skill, show who is it for, invite them to message
or I'll try to it. Say it again. Tell you a story. This is my story.
Share what result of skill that you'll
be able to help. Taking the story to the
next step. Who is it for? What kind of audience that
resonate with this story? Invite them to message you directly or book
through the link. Could be just a booking link
or it could be a message directly in any social
media platform like Whatsapp or even
directly in an email. You can start the engagement
with them, for example. When I started freelancing, I had no idea how
to find clients. I learned what works. Now I help others, beginners, freelancers, build their
first client radio portfolio. That that you just
DME to book session, this in Lincoln I post
and Instagram stories, these book groups,
emails, what's messages. Be kind, be real, and don't be pushy, it takes time and tell people resonate
what you're trying to do. I will say the example again. When I started freelancing, I have no idea how
to find clients. I learned what work
and what doesn't know. Now I help others
begin beginners, build their first
climbed radio portfolio. If that's you just DM or book
a session directly with me. You can share it and link it in post Instagram stories,
Facebook groups, and emails or whatsapp
message directly to your audience or niches who are interested in
something like this. Here is Section number five
here about the pricing tips, how you can much
should you charge? Should you go the expensive, the medium, or the lower? Some people offer it for free. It's different strategies. Start with your time value, the problem value,
how would speak. Are you trying to fix something
that could be done in $10 or $100 or in $10,000. It's depending the
problem value. If it's something that they
try to do with themselves, how much money and
effort they will be able to put and obstacles. You're taking them 0-0, so that's the value
you're providing. Also, remember, your experience level, you could
be starting out, don't have that
background experience or you already have
a lot of experience, so you'll be able
to charge more. You region and audience income, selling to Africa is
different selling to Europe, selling from US or Canada. You have to what kind of audience you would
like to target, if you're selling into
the US and Canada, the markets totally different from selling to the Middle East. The region and audience
income is different. The currency fluctuation
is also different. Don't try to sell something, especially for
African countries or Asian countries where mostly the income is very low
and you try to make a very high offer which will
not resonate with them. Always charge more than they us. If you think that
this could be done for $50, do it for 100. You think it's 100 do it
for 150, it's 150 250. Because if it's free, people will ignore it, they
will not see the value. If it's slow, they
doubt about it. If it's fair and
clear, they trust it. I'll give you a couple
of examples here. 30 minute call could
be 50 to $150, depending on you could
be more than this. There's a lot of people charging ten k or five K for
30 minute call. But it's depending on
what kind of experience. What will happen if
someone book the call, I'll be able to transfer them 0-0 and that's adding the
value. Digital guide. If you're selling
a digital guide, this could be an
average from $10 to 50, could be down to $500 or five K depending on how complex
the digital guide. This is something that how much time and effort you put into this digital guide and you'll be able to
use it with others. The last example here, for
example, coaching call, one to one coaching
calls or plans, doesn't have to be it could
be one to one coaching calls, but just not one call. The plan could be
from $300 to $1,000. That could be four
calls, five calls, ten call depending on plan could be four calls per month or it could be a subscription for six months to get into resonate
what you're trying to do. Don't compete on price, compete on clarity and results. I'm helping you solving
a huge problem for you. This is the value
that you're giving me for my time or my service, and that's how you can
use it to the next step. The next section, tools
to help yourself, how can I what
kind of platforms, what kind of things I can
use to monetize the steps? Let's start with a couple of things that I personally use. One of the most
famous thing if you are trying to use scheduling, if you have a booking
link that you can send instead of going back
and forth in the old days, I'm free Monday, you reply back. Sorry, I'm not available Monday, you're available on Tuesday? Yes, I'm available on Tuesday. What time slots are available?
I'm available at 1:00 P.M. In London Pm Dubai.
What would be 1:00 P.M. In London would be in Dubai? But we don't do this anymore. There's a lot of
scheduling platform. Two of the most famous one
is calend and cal.com. They have a fantastic way to P to process everything
on your behalf. You would be able to collect client information
and take questions, could be free, could be paid, could be just a membership
or just one off. Use the to collect payments
using Cal and Calen D, you have to connect them
with the payment processing. The most famous one
is Stripe or PayPal. You can link, for example, cal.com with Stripe and
you collect the payment. This is something
I do personally. You can collect Calen D with PayPal and you collect
the money through PayPal. There is different variations. For example, Cald and Cal, they are extremely similar and you can collect the payment through not just PampAp could be PayPal and Stripe or
mix between both. So how can I sell
digital product? The easiest platform to sell
digital product is gum Road. It's very simple to build. You can add PDFs, you can add courses, you
can add coaching calls. You have the pricing,
you'll be able to charge for pricing. They can be suggested pricing. You can sell an installment, the payment could be
done in three, 12, six, whatever you would
like to make it and each product yourself
will be reviewed and it's very easy to
save the link and people can be able to buy the
digital product directly. The coaching calls or the
sessions, you can use Zoom, Google Meat depending on
what I prefer Google Meat to have more stable
fusion and easy to use. Many people find Zoom, it is standard for video calls, depending on what platform use. Other people use also Microsoft
meat on other platforms. Designing, you can use
Canva Canva is you have the free version and
you have the paid version. The free version is
just very simple, but doesn't give
you all the tools. If you would like to use the
paid version that will give you more insight to
deliver digital products. You can keep everything very simple in Google
Docs, Google Drive, you don't have to pay an extra, a very simple payment membership will be able to deliver
all your digital service. So you don't need everything, start with the free tools. Very simple one, you
don't have to go for the paid calendar or
pay cal from day one, just tat at the free
version and once you are confident and need more
services from such platform, you can upgrade your services to paid one so you can
use it to the next step. That's the most important thing where to promote your offer. If you have created
a digital course, coaching platform, or community. Now, where do you
share your offer? Always try to tell the story and behind the story,
you will share the offer. Don't share the offer directly. Just try to blended
with the story because people like to read stories
and at the end of the story, you could have the deliver offer or the outgoing that
you would like to sell. Simple as we explained before, you can use social media, starting with Link
it In where you can create articles, videos, posts and at the end
of the end of the post or the articles of the
video, you can use the link. I can help you do the same
using this video call. I can help you do the same
joining my community. Could be also on Instagram, Facebook groups, and Twitter, but always remember the message in each platform is different. If you're trying
to use Instagram, it would be more on
the graphic site. The graphic side that you have to impress people
with the graphics. The Link it in it's
more professional. Facebook groups, it's more
about delivering a value and is connecting with
other individuals that have the same
niches like yourself. You don't have to
start selling you can start collecting
emails using free content. Join my newsletter. If you like this content,
join my letter. Once you have the
email information, you'll be able to send over and over after you get
permission from people. You can sell after you
collect the email of the telephone number
of the Whatsapp and then send tapes and
offer weekly or monthly. I'm helping this client and then you can share ideas,
you can share stories, you can share information
into and then you can start selling the
digital products or the offline product that you. Also you can have a lending page or a website depending on
what you're trying to use. Simple one page site using, for example, notion or card, collect all the information
share at the end, use it to collect
such information. The last thing is word of mouth. Ask your happy clients to tell others about
your services, offer referral friend
word, have an affiliate. You can create your own
affiliate link when people just sell or use your
link in other platforms. They receive a reward
or incentives, fees of the money
that paid you and always repeat
repeat your message weekly and stay
visible all the time. That's make the difference. Stay visible all the time. By now, we can
start mini project, your first income plan. Let's build your
simple income plan. Use your worksheet or
notebook and write. I'll say them, step them, and then I'll repeat them again. What will I offer? What
kind of offer I will offer? Who is it for? Where I promoted? What tools I will use? What price I will start with, when I will launch
it? Six points. Let's start again.
What I will offer? Coaching, service,
selling my time or course or digital product
or a community subscription. Two or three of them,
what offer I will be delivering. Who's it for? What kind of audience resonate
or what I'm offering? Where will I promote it? What tools will I use? What price will I start
with and when I launch it? If you answer this
six questions, you'll be able to start
launching as soon as possible. You have the tools, the price, when you promote, who is it for, and what kind of
service you offer. Set a 30 days goal, make your first hundred
dollar 500 100. A and repeat. Amazing. We now understand

9. Chapter 8: Real Stories – Learn from Global Personal Brand Successes: Hello. Hello and welcome
to Chapter eight. In this final chapter, we will look at
the real example, stories from people around
the world who build their personal
brand step by step. Let's start by sharing
the presentation. Some of them started with
no followers, no money. No idea how to begin. But today, they are
working online, growing businesses and helping
others just like you can. We'll explore what
steps they have took, what mistakes they have made, what work best for them, how they started
making money online. These stories are not just for inspiring, they are practical. You will learn simple
things that you can copy and adopt
for your own journey. Let's get started.
Story number one, Lila and instagram design. Lila is a graphic
designer from Morocco. Her background, she started
using Instagram to post pictures of her
daily life and art. Nothing special, her style. But one day, she started
sharing design tips, short videos before
and after graphics, and tutorials in
Arabic and English. Her strategy. She used
Cava and free tools. She posted three times a week. She use hashtag design
tips, small business help. She added a link in her bio for people to book a
logo design session. Result, after just two months, small business owner
began messaging her. She charged $50 for
her first design. After six months,
she raised the price 250 and was fully
booked every week. What kind of lessons we
can understand or learn. Start with what you
know, be consistent, use one platform,
offer one service, speak in two language
if you can or three, I open more doors. Let's go over what she's doing. She was posting normal daily
life tips and simple art. Nothing special. But just one day she started sharing design tips about
her own experience. That's sharing a story that
resonates with people. This kind of post went viral, short videos before and after graphics and tutorials
in Arabic and English. And she used very simple tools, very free tools, fade Canva
because she's designer. But all the other
tools was free. She posted three times a week. She use hashtag rated to what
she's doing and she have a bio Bonink Is it link like Link we discussed
in other chapters, where you can share
all your links, how to contact you, what
kind of numbers you have. Lots of app messages, booking
a call, buying a course, everything is just one
bio, and the result. When she started, she raised you can say a
moderate price which is $50. But after six months, she gained the experience, the knowledge, she raised his price 50-150
and was fully booked. Simple strategy you can
book and copy and do the same over and
over depending on what you are trying to achieve. Story number two is
Ibrahim or Ibrahim, a remote career coach. Braham is from United
Arab Emirates. He used to work
in a call center. Just a normal, you
can say grilling job with no expectation,
just fix it salary. The problem, he hated sitting in traffic just waiting back
from the call center. You want to freedom to
travel and work from anywhere that he
was dream and aim. What he did, he joined Facebook groups for digital
numanRmote workers. He helped people
for free by sharing job links and resume tips. He wrote a free guide called ten Step to find Remote jobs. He added his telegram link in the bio so people
can reach him directly in a telegram
on other platforms. How he monetized, he started
one to one called for $25 to review CVs,
launched 47 eBook, how to write a professional
CV that attract and using AI, open a private group for
job leads for $10 a month, very low because the kind of volumes he would be
attracting huge. You can use a loss
strategy for pricing, but my numbers will be huge. Now he start work from Turkey, he moved from United
Arab Emirates to Turkey and he earns around $2,000 a month helping
others go remote. Lesson for you, you
don't need a degree. You need just useful skill, simple tools, and clear offer. Give value first, share
your story, help other, then ask people to pay for more what you're
trying to deliver. Very simple,
consistent and simple. You can copy Ibrahim
and it's a very simple. He used to have a 95 job.
He hate it too much. You have a lot of experience, you share experience, and then turn it into
profitable business. You can copy him
and build whatever you are trying to
approach step by step. It doesn't have to be something fancy or a lot of experience, very simple sharing
information will be able to help you and take
you to the next step. Story number three, Anna, YouTube teacher, Anna, the Portuguese
teacher from Brazil. She was teaching Portuguese.
She was based in Brazil. What kind of problems she had. She wanted to help more
people learn her language. There's a lot of you can say, especially Spanish
and Portuguese, that's one of the
hype languages. I'm also learning Spanish, all of my friends, but she didn't know how to
start a business. She had the experience, she have the knowledge techniques. What you have done? She
used her phone to record lessons and post them
on YouTube for free. Her videos were short and easy, how to say hello, common
mistaken Portuguese, et cetera. She added subtis in English and use sub nail with flags to pipic attracted Brazil flag and Portuguese flag. Her brand grow. People committed and ask
her for private lessons. She created a booking link and start Zoom sessions starting to $20 an hour which is
very low and moderate. Later she added 97
beginner course with ten video lessons
about Portuguese. The result, now she
have 30 k subscriber and make money from YouTube
ads, classes, or sells. What kind of lessons
that you can learn? Use video, I build fast
than post and blogging. Teach simple things very well, very simple information, use
your voice and personality. That's your brand.
Everyone of different. Everyone have their own
experience and background. The more unique you are, the more you'll be able to attract. Doesn't have to be
something fancy. Jaxin Ibrahim, just
see going through. Here Anna just giving experience about she
know the language, you understand English
and Portuguese, and we'll be able to grow like audience and
then charge for it. That's the beauty
of selling online. There is no gate keepers, anyone can do whatever
you have the experience, you have a niche,
you'll be able to monetize it to the next step. Story number four,
something more skilled. Ahmad is a link
in legal advisor. He had been doing he low
graduate from South Africa. He's challenged, he want to work with international clients, but didn't have law
firms or license yet. He's operating in South
Africa only and he would like to provide services
at a global brand. This is one of the
common things. It's just like when you having a nine to five job that you
are located to one location, you just have one region
and one set of clients. But if you're building
a global brand, you'll be able to work with
international clients. The same thing like
A. His approach, he started sharing
short linked posts like legal tips for freelancers, how to read a contract, avoid these legal mistakes. He added his story in his bio helping freelancer
understand contracts. One step at a time. He created a free
check list called five legal freelance mistakes. Then he started with a 15 minutes calls and then
updated to 50 the free call. Then if you would like to
get more than 15 minutes, the call will be $50
Calton document review for $75 later, you have a free legal
tool boook that he sell for 199 results, he get international
clients and the company hired him to do legal workshops. Lessons for everyone. Link
it in is so powerful. Share useful tips, build your audience with
content, not ad. You don't need to be a lawyer. You just need to be
helpful and clear. It doesn't have a fancy degree. It doesn't have an
international office or international brand, but he used his niche
and his background. You have a lot of
experience in helping entrepreneurs and freelancers,
especially in Africa. You understand the legal aspects in different countries
and he'll be able to deliver a charge list and then change the
price time by time. What these stores
have in common, we have almost four stories now. Let's pause and ask yourself, what do Lilah Ibrahim Anna
and Ahmed have in common. They don't wait to be perfect. They use the free
tools and Instagram, Facebook link in or YouTube. They shed what
they already know. They didn't learn
anything new or special. They give value before
asking for money. They kept it simple,
one service, one platform, one
message, and then grow. The result didn't
come overnight. It took weeks and months
before they start earning, they tested, and then they
improve, you can do the same. It's not a magic formula. It's not something that I will give you a sheet and
once you have the sheet, too. Let's say this again. It took weeks, months until
you build your audience, until you have a message, until you have a
clear understanding of what people try to do, and then you charge with it and then improve,
and then you build. You can do the
same step by step. Here the most important
thing is your action plan. Apply what you have earned.
What you have learned. Here what I want you to do now. Take out a notebook or
open your worksheet, answer these questions one
by one and resonate them. I'll say them and repeat
them again one by one. Who are you most like? Are you like Lila,
Ibrahim, Anna or Ahmed? How you can resonate yourself? Are you like Ahmed
who was looking for international
clients that doesn't have a fancy law degree, but you have a legal
understanding or Anna who started teaching Portuguese to her English speaking customers. What skills or story
you can share, depending on the same thing. Which platform you focus on first and then you
can go to platform. What small offer you can create, when you will post
your first message and what kind of message
you will be able to post. This is the first answer this question. You
can post the video. I'll say them again.
Who you are most like? Are you like Lila
Ahmad Ibrahim or Anna? What kind of background
that you have? What skills or story
you can share? Which platform will
focus on first? Which small offer
you can create, when you will post
your first matches and take it to the next step. In the next seven days, post once on your
chosen platform. C, say what you do, offer help and add a link to book a call or
send a message. You don't need to be famous. You need to be visible,
clear, and consistent. You are now invisible, you're moving into the visible and then you reach
clear and consistent. Step by step, you'll be able to reach to the next
stage and be able to charge a lot of money online and making a lot of
money from your business. Here, the final part is
final words and what text. Congratulations, you made it
to the end of the course. Let's review what we have done. You define your personal brand. You created your
message and story, you cleaned up your
online presence from different vos and
different pictures and you just make it a mess. You built your platform, you created the offers, you started hearing and growing, and now you have seen how others do it and
you can do it the same. This is your time.
