How to Build a Robust Personal Brand: Good day to you experts and welcome to the Fundamentals of personal branding course. In this course, you will learn how to develop and present your personal brand in the best way that fits your expertise and values. To be honest with you, this topic frustrates a lot of starting expert for the reason that there is a lot of misleading and inconsistent information on the Internet around the topic of personal branding. Some of the biggest mistakes that experts starting their brand do is that they try to copy social media influencers doing all kinds of weird stuff to attract attention. Some invest way too heavily into tools and process before taking the time to try things out and explores their idea on a low budget with a simple and easy process. Some experts believe that they are way too old and out of fashion to build a personal brand. And some believe that they are not pretty enough to be on camera or not knowledgeable enough to become an expert. Some believes that they are not trained enough to attract people attention. These thoughts would overwhelm the expert. I probably would make them give up on the idea of building a personal brand. In this short but intensive course, we are going to simplify things out by walking through simple steps and process of how to build your personal brand one step at a time. I will show the strategy and mechanics that go behind the process of building the foundations of your personal brand from the ground up. But before we do that, we first need to get some clarity. The first thing you have to realize is that your LinkedIn profile or any social media account isn't your personal brand. It's only a place for you to communicate your expertise and connect with others. The second thing that you have to understand is that you as an expert, have to separate yourself for influencers. Some of those influencers have no concerns about making money, while others make money through sponsored products. Therefore, their content is tailored towards an audience that differs from your potential client. You also have to separate yourself from content creator. The majority of these people have no deep expertise in any specific topic. They rely on borrowing content of other creators and then represent it in a way that fits their self interests, which are generating video views, ads, and affiliate marketing revenue. And you also have separate yourself from public figures. Most public figures tend to tailor their message to the majority of the people. What they say might not be truthful an artist, but it gets them more followers, which in returns get them more media attention for censorship and public speaking opportunities. On the other hand, an expert is someone who evolved deep expertise in a specific field and has proven system that deliver result. An expert must be truthful and consistent across all of their programs and messages. And that's how they gain trust and get clients. There are three major categories of experts. Experts with 15 to 20 years of experience and they had default deep expertise in specific topic and have construe hundreds of projects and case studies. The second curve expert, our expert with good knowledge in specific niches. They developed expertise through a lot of education and some life experience for the majority of us, we probably will end in this category. The third kind of experts are called self-blame expert or scam artists. They have no real expertise on a topic. They mix things up to make money by playing on people's emotions. None of us should end here. Alright, so what does it take to build a personal brand? To be honest with you, it's pretty simple. You need a specific topic to talk about. You cannot be the expert on everything. You need. Products with predictable system that through view are the expert on that topic. And you need to communicate your topic to a group of audience. That's all, That's it. Let me give you a simple example. Let's assume that a bicyclist want explore some helpful ideas about bicycling. The first place they would go to is sort of media publication, let's call it a magazine. The magazine will need to rely on different particular expert to get the latest tips, tricks, and advice. But how does a magazine or a media publisher know which experts are legit? Well, the easiest miss it is for the publication to look if the expert has any sort of products such as books or courses and the quality of the reviews and how to other people think of that expert. The magazine can also check for the express social media account and check if their presentation and message or logit and consistent. Once the media publisher identifies which experts are consistent, legit, and well-presented, they asked them for an article or an interview. Therefore, the magazine attracts more readers when it creates content, working with experts, and experts gain more exposure and opportunities when they work with media. And finally, the reader gets more knowledge about specific topic. When they read these articles. It's a win, win, win solution. Let me show you a real life example. This is a well-known Bicycling Magazine. And in this article, they want to educate the audience about a specific point. This article is written by an expert called Selena Jaeger. If you search for this expert on Amazon, you will find that she has written different books on the topic of bicycling, which made it easier for the publication to rely on her as a reliable source of information. But k, So before you begin developing your personal brand, you really must understand what an expert is. An expert is someone who has gone through a real life experience of a specific skill or situation. They went through the mistakes, pinpoints, and problems of specific skill, developed methods to overcome those problem. They understand the tools, gears, and systems required to accomplish the skill successfully. They have the confidence and capacity to mentor and lead others to a successful outcome, and they are specialized in one key area. And upper row basketball skill differ from street bicycling scale. These abilities are what separates a professional bicyclists from a hobbyist. What does it take to build a personal brand? Well, to build a personal brand, you have to focus on two primary stages. The first phase is called a set of phase, and here is where we will spend our efforts during the course. It includes in refining your expertise and topic, defining your audience and finding your niche, creating and selling your first product. Building trust around your expertise, refining a polishing your brand visual presentation, and lastly, establishing your online presence and building authority. This phase will take on average six months to two years. Depending on your current level. In this phase, you must build a solid foundation that makes your job much easier with the next phase, which is the growth phase, which includes paid and partnership marketing, meaning that you have to pay other media to expand your brand awareness. And secondly, you have to scale and diversify your products at income streams. Those topics will be for a different and more advanced course. For now, we must focus on building strong foundations. Because result, these foundations, you have low to no chance of building a robust brand. As an expert, the concept of building a personal brand is pretty simple and straightforward. We want people to tag your face at name, which is specific topic, then give them an experience or a specific feeling, working with you, and finally, develop trust towards your brand. That's it in a nutshell. Let's look at a few examples. What do you think this lady field of expertise is? Ibts lawyer. What kind of experience does it feel to work with her? I think she's pretty sharp. Does she look like you can trust her? Well, I guess I wouldn't hire is sloppy lawyer. So of course, I would trust a sharp lawyer. How about this lady? What do you think her field of expertise is? Well, I guess she's a therapist. What kind of experience does it feel to work with her? Well, she looks friendly and fun to work with. Does she look like someone who can trust? Well, from what I see, It seems as she presents herself in a professional environment with a friendly attitude, I think I would give her a chance. Now the opposite of bulk personal brand is randomness and lack of consistency of how you present yourself. Let's assume that you are a tough personal trainer and people used to see you professionally training others for a specific outcome. However, in a couple of months later, you claim to be an expert desert as well. How do you think your audience would react to that? At that moment, you put your brand image under the risk of losing authority for the reasons that you lack consistency. Okay, so your assignment for this week is to find three top expert in your field of expertise as follows in research how they present their expertise to your audience. That's it. Get up and stretch, had some rest and I will see you in the next video. 3. How to Identify Your Niche and Target Audience: Welcome back. In this video, we will go through refining your expertise and finding your niche. Going through this process will make it easier for you to find your audience and build an attractive personal brand. Most starting experts believe that if they post a couple of videos on social media, showing off their skills will guarantee them a personal brand. However, in most scenarios, their efforts falls flat. The reason is that their content is vague and does not target a specific group of audience. To make our process simpler. Let's go back to the question we talked about before, which is, what is an expert? As we mentioned before, that an expert is an individual who devote practical and deep expertise in a specific area. They work with clients that face specific problems, pain points, and challenges. They had the capacity through years of experience to notice patterns and evaluate their client's situation. They are capable of reaching a conclusion and coming up with a process for a solution that Dr. desired and effective result for the clients. For a person to become an expert in a specific topic, they first have to gain accurate knowledge. Second, goes through case studies. Third, gain practical experience and force developed, predictable process. An expert is someone who can take a client from a problem to solution in a simple, clear and straightforward process. Eliminating all the guesswork and frustration in the process. On the other hand, a person was shallow expertise will turn the customer into a test experience, taking them in circles and rarely achieve the desired result. And the reason for that is that they are guessing more than relying on accurate knowledge and practical experience. One of the biggest mistakes that I noticed with starting expert, that they tend to read a lot of books. Then call themselves experts. Let's call them multiple people. Not experts. Experts are people who took the time to devolve expertise through real-life experience. Not only knowledge, for you to become an authority, expert, brand, and separate yourself from the rest. First, you have to sharpen your expertise and therefore focus on the following. First, gained accurate knowledge from trusted resources. You shouldn't watch a couple of front-end videos on YouTube or read a couple of articles on a block, then call yourself an expert. Your source of information, it must be reliable and the ideas are proven scientifically. Second, analyzed case studies from real-life projects. This is the passageway to deconstruct other successful or unsuccessful projects and learn from other people's mistakes and success. Third, gain practical experience working with real clients even if it's for a low fee or for free, if possible, voluntary somewhere to learn the ins and outs and real-life problems of your area of expertise. Once you develop your knowledge and work experience, you will become capable of finding common patterns and developing predictable process that delivers results for your clients. At that point, people will call you an expert. Keep in mind that when you want to develop and sharpen your expertise, focused on solving a client's specific pinpoint complex or helping them to acquire a specific scale. A pain point is your client invitation and they turn to you to help them to go over that limitation and achieve what it is that they want to achieve. This could be a physical limitation with not being able to function, a specific task learning limitation with not being capable of improving their performance and enhance their future. Financial limitation, with not being capable to manage and grow their finances and appearance pinpoint was not achieving the desired look or psychological mindset limitation for not being able to achieve the level of happiness they want. A conflict is when your client is frustrated dealing with others. And it's mostly caused by a lack of proper communication. You'll find most complex happen between couples. And the effect of that complex can be reflected on the future of the family or the couples sex life. A conflict can also happen in business settings. Beats in business negotiation. D members communication, leadership, responsibilities. On the other hand, skills are something your clients want to learn to enhance their performance. Don't have an efficient process to acquire the skills effectively. Those skills can be artistic skills, technical skills, or sport skills. What metric for you as an expert is that you need to find the motivation behind why your clients want your guidance and expertise. Someone might want to learn how to play guitar. So they could spend a romantic evening with someone they feel happy with. Somewhat might want to learn how to communicate properly. They can be with someone they feel loved by. Someone, might follow your YouTube channel and buy your books because they want to feel confidence and attract a person they like. And for that reason, we as expert, must focus on solving specific problems for our clients and then help them to achieve specific outcomes and desires. What we are doing is that we are providing a process or system that saves the client time, money, and effort. Our process needs to be effective to drive results. Meanwhile, it should eliminate all the frustration. To provide a cohesive and effective solutions. It's better if we narrow down our focus and specialize our expertise. We call that concept nourishing down. Say for example, that you are a fitness trainer. Instead of designing your message to fit everyone, you can design your workout system and marketing message towards swimmers or football players or bicyclist. You can narrow it further by being specialized in a certain level of difficulties. Be a beginner, intermediate, or advanced. In this scenario, you can be a fitness expert for advanced bicyclist. Now keep in mind that there are many attributes that you can leverage to narrow down your focus and marketing message, including eight, Job, gender, and level of income. Once you can narrow down your focus, your next step is to come up with your expertise proposition. Basically it's a statement you use to communicate with your clients in case they ask you, what is it that you precisely do? Taking our last example, we reach the following expertise proposition. I create fitness systems for advanced bicyclists that help them maintain their athletic physical fitness and when competition. Notice how I focused my proposition on a specific group of customers offering them service with specific objectives and desired outcome. In this case, The ultimate goal of every athlete is doing competition. And that's why most athletes want to hire a fitness expert. Now, don't worry, this is not an absolute promise that you will get them to win, but your entire system is designed to focus on the bottom line, which is winning my personal expertise proposition. It says, I create business systems for small startups and entrepreneurs that helped him kickstart their small business on a small budget and generate profit. I personally focused on beginners, intrapreneurs, their first stage of starting a business. I create products that tells them to kick-start projects on a minimal budget. And most importantly, to our system, it must be effective to generate profit, which is the ultimate goal of every intrapreneur and business. Now it's time to you to create your expertise proposition. Following these simple formula, I create black for black that helped them blank and achieve blank. The first gap, fill in the products you create, bid process systems, programs or consulting service. In the second gap, fill in your target client. The third gap, fill in your specific objective. And in the fourth gap, fill in the desired outcome of your client. If you are unclear about how to find your niche, just head to Google and type your skills category, followed by different alphabets. Google with suggests different niche idea that you can select. Your next step is to research the problems and pain points around your niche. And to do that, you have to hit to Google and search for frustration around your niche inside the Reddit forum is one of the largest forums on the internet. What you can find tons of articles and conversation around your niche. Your goal is to go through those conversations and look for the top common patterns, pinpoint, and frustrations your future clients might have. More starting experts assumed that they understand their client's problem and they mistakenly dismiss the research phase. Please don't do that. Take your time and understand your client's problem on a deeper level. Another place to find more ideas at around your niche is to get to Google and search for your niece, the navigators, a new section. This will give you access to all the articles written by other experts around your topic. Your job is to find an outline the top ten most common topics and problems around your area of expertise. Later on, you are going to take those ten topics and expand on them in more in-depth article. In each article, you are going to spend the time to explain each topic separately. Talking about the ins and outs through case studies and examples. Your article don't have to be as long as mine. There could be a drug wars more or less. What matters the most is that you cover the following points. First, the problem. Start your article by talking about the main problem or frustration. Second, talk about what caused the problem. Third, offer a systematic approach to solving the problem as force through, through examples and case studies that this process works. Now keep in mind that we are not trying to create a block. I'm not concerned about SEO or the length of the article. My primary concerns are first, I need you to document and organized your knowledge both in your head and on paper or a digital document. The reason for that is when you want to talk about your topic, beat on social media, interviews or future courses. It will be easier to explain it if you have all the knowledge organized and well sorted. Second, I need you to turn your knowledge into a process. In other words, your knowledge need to have steps. Just as a cake recipe people can follow to make a cheesecake. This process is you're selling point, and this is what people will pay you money for. Third, this process will help you to create a massive library of content that you can turn into courses, books at YouTube videos. So you should be excited about this process. Now some of you might tend to Fiverr and hire a freelancer to write an article for $5. Please don't do that. You will miss the entire point of this step, which is the teach yourself how to be an expert. Let's get to your homework for this video, which is first, define your knees and expertise proposition. Second, research, five pinpoints around your niche. And third, right, one detailed article covering the four main points we talked about, which are the problem, what caused the problem, the systematic solution and the case study or example that proves your solution work. Alright, that's going to be for this video, and I will see you soon. Bye-bye. 4. How to Create and Promote Your First Product: Welcome back. In this video, we are going to talk about the process of creating and publishing your first product. With creating your first product, I would recommend going with a simple online course rather than creating a book. For the reason that books are way more difficult to market on your own without the help of the population. On the other hand, online courses are easier to reach clients and students at a lower cost. The major reasons behind creating your first products are to help you get comfortable in transmitting your process and knowledge to others and put your expertise to the test at a lower risk than working with a high paying clients. However, that doesn't mean you should be sloppy. The second reason is that you need to learn how to convert your expertise and knowledge into money. Making money is a topic that most experts tried to run away from. However, I encourage you to start selling your expertise early in the process and generate some revenue. Keep in mind that the purpose of your book or course isn't to make you rich as many fake gurus tell you, it's only going to be your starting point to connect The Curious clients and make them know that you are in business. The third reason for making your product is that when you package your expertise in the form of a commercial product and people buy it and then give it a high rating review, you are building a social proof around your brand that gets you more opportunities for high ticket clients in the future. Now let's talk a little bit about the process of making your first course. Now this course isn't about how to create an online course. However, I will outline a few key points for you to consider. The first step is to outline your course chapters. And it's mostly similar to the top ten pain points we researched in the last video. In the second step, you would take the content you created in our last video and expand more on it by adding more theories, case studies, and examples. And lastly, at assignment and exercises that help the viewer to get the knowledge from theories to practical knowledge and apply it to their situation to achieve the desired outcome. Your assignment don't have to be complicated. They can be as simple as the ones we are doing in this course. As long as they get the student to grasp the point you are teaching, your next step is to record the course. Most people think that it's necessary to be on camera. I can tell you from a place of experience that unless you are demonstrating a topic that requires you to show your face, then you don't have to. I have created seven online courses without being on camera. The way I create a course is by creating slides with visuals, examples, and case studies. Because they are more valuable and engaging to my students. They're looking at my face. If you need to find a lot of the images and videos for your course, just head to Pexels.com. You can find plenty of high-quality resources that fits your course materials. Most importantly, I need you to focus on the following. First, teach through relevant example, I guess studies instead of relying on broad and generic theories. Second, eliminate all types of floods and unnecessarily idea. Get to the point quickly. Life is too short and students get bored quickly. Third, use visuals including images and videos to explain your ideas visually. Rather than relying heavily on texts. Force focused on quick results. Rather than going on and on with theories that have no direct impact on your student's situation. And fifth, simplify your language and avoid all kinds of jargon. Most of your students will be from different locations around the world with a minimal English skill. So keep it simple. Now some people might think that they can go to fiber and higher, similar to create an online course. Please don't do that. You should get extremely comfortable with talking about your process. Therefore, please make the course yourself. Let's talk a little bit about publishing your course. I need you to look for online education platform that you can leverage to publish and market your course. Here's a list of legit platform that I have worked with, which you can try for yourself. First is using me. It's one of the largest marketplaces for publishing online courses in all categories. And it's a great starting point for reaching new students and collecting reviews. Excuse share is another great platform to publish your online course. Allison. Skills success and CBD formula are also great platforms to publish your course and get paid. The main reason for working with the platform is that basically they can help you with marketing your course. And most importantly, is that they can collect reviews and feedbacks about your product. Showing publicly, which you can leverage as social proof, to be honest with you, I started from a couple of platforms. Then I was reached by other six platforms because they saw that reviews on one of the platforms. And that's how I got to expand and scale my online education, business. If you don't like to be apart of the launch platform, you can look for specialized platforms in your area of expertise and reaches him, see if you can collaborate with them and become a member of their team. The last thing I wanted to do as your first step, is to host your course on your website. Goes through the process of making complicated sales follows bit onclick, fall or Teachable is the last thing you want to do when you have no experience selling online or any social proof or audience, is to create expensive courses and spend a lot of money driving traffic to your expensive website. Then end up with view denote sales. What we are doing is that we are leveraging the Internet to reach a large group of people at a low cost. This is the DNA of the Internet, which is information distributed to a large group of people globally when he delivered your expertise to someone in low-income countries or two students, they will be in need for your knowledge. They can afford it at a low price. Probably you think I'm not making a lot of money. But the matter of the fact is that this group of people make the majority of the traffic and purchase on the Internet. And it's not gonna matter if it's student in India, Canada, Germany, or Pakistan's, leaves you a great review. And then someone in United States IT and hire you as a client. We live in a global economy and it's a smart idea to build social proof around your brand at a low cost. Keep in mind that most of high-paying client isn't going to watch your course. They don't have the time for it. They will give you the money and ask you for the solution. But for them to get to that point, you must build the reputation and social proof around your brand. More studying expert had no product, no authority, no audience. They want to go from 0 sales to serving clients for two solid $500 and more. That's not practical. Instead, we want to break this process into smaller steps. Starting from offering your audience free content, which we will be talking about later. Then moving them towards a low entry offer such as a book or online course. Then overtime upselling them. More expensive offers and services. And ending with our high ticket offer, the first two will decrease the risk for the client to try your service, increase your breath awareness and build authority. And the last two will help you to diversify your income streams and increase your income. We call this concept the value ladder. And the primary job of your value letter is to gradually increase the trust of the people in your brand. Let me show you a small example. This gentleman is an expert in Kelly's genetics, which is a special kind of workout that relies on body weight rather than gym equipment. I got to know this person what I was using a fitness app called Fit, which includes many more instructions. And so for me the first thing was to keep his program a shot. And since he offers low entry programs, I convinced myself why not to go over it. Once I tried his first program and was glad with the result, I bought his second third level as well. It's because he made it possible for me to try it and devolve trust in his expertise. I'm now willing to buy more of its product. Notice that I didn't know him through his social media but through a platform. And that's critical because if I saw him on social media, I would probably go through whose videos at more next. However, when I buy his products from a trusted platform with existing reviews and student, he positioned himself as a confident experts and someone who is in the business of fitness, rather than only being a YouTuber. Once the gentlemen, over the years has built a following on social media, then he can sell more expensive programs on his website and make more profit. But that comes after years of working with platforms to build a loyal audience and expand his personal brand. Your assignment for this video is to first create your value ladder, which mostly contains three to four steps. Second, outline your product chapters. And third, research and find education platforms for your courses. If you feel that you want to start your first experience of flying rather than online, that's okay. Start looking for small schools, institution and workshops, where it's easy for you to access students and start building a reputation and social proof around your expertise and brand. Okay, so that's going to be four now, decorous and I will see you in the next video. Bye bye. 5. How to Present Your Personal Brand Visually: Welcome back. In this video, we will talk about the visual presentation of your personal brand and how to present yourself properly in a way that fits your expertise. Most experts make the mistake of having a generic presentation with generic setups and expressions to present your brand. Some tried to copy other influencers or act in a way that doesn't make any sense. To say audience. You will have a cohesive brand presentation if you adapt to a style, what an archetype that identifies you differently from the rest of the people in your area of expertise. So what's an architect? It is a structure of your brand which we'll presentation and how others will identify and connect with your character. It is completely controlled by you and the way you present yourself. However, you need to know that your archetype must make sense to your clients and your area of expertise. A comedian archetype with differ from a lord archetype. Both will have different expressions, props and environments to reflects their attitude and connect with a group of audience. There are eight primary archetype that you can leverage to properly present your brand and connect with your audience. Let's go through them quickly. When you are looking at the examples, try to focus on the environment, Props, and type of content of each archetype. First is the discover, mostly seen in sports and outdoor activities experts, the content of this type of archetype should focus primarily on highlighting the difficulty and the joy of discovering different environment. The second archetype is a stage archetype, mostly seen for education-related experts. The content and presentation language. She's focused on stepping down and teaching your audience rather than focusing on promoting yourself. The third archetype is the warrior or the fighter archetype, mostly seen in Sports and Fitness Expert. The content should focus on motivating your audience and breaking their limits. Basically, nothing is impossible. The force archetype is the rebellious archetype, mostly seen with experts on society and political issues. The content should focus primarily or rising against the current situation and leading to a better future. The fifths archetype is that caregiver, mostly seen for experts at care about the environment, animals and human rights, the content should focus primarily on fairness and improving the condition of others life. The six archetype is the powerful person archetype mostly seen for real estate and wealth experts. The core message is to focus on showing wealth. This might not be comfortable to some, however, the majority of people who wanted to get a piece of advice about how to be wealthy would be extracted to such visual presentation. The seventh type of archetype is the average person. Argue that this is one of the most successful type archetypes because your message and presentation communicates equality and fairness. The core message behind this archetype is that all people are the same. If I can't do it, you can do it too. The last step archetype is the creative personal archetype mostly seen for artists, musicians, and creative people. The core communication message behind this archetype is to show the process behind your work. In addition to the final word, since the communication channel will act as a portfolio to attract future products. Once you adapt to the right archetype, you will naturally attract the group of people who aligns with your visual language. Because the image you showed them created the illusion of characters or environment they can't relate to from previous experience such as movies, real life experience or other experts. Let me give you a simple example. Look at this lady. What do you think archetype is? How about if we take that same lady? We changed IT, environment, outfit, and the expression. Remember, it's the same lady. How about now? Let's play a little bit with your lighting, the expressions. Doesn't she look so optimistic and happy? Doesn't she look like someone who can be an expert on a topic related to happiness. Okay, How about now? What changed the TV complex confidence and more insecure and depressed. How about if we bring that light back and make her look more confident? As you can see that we can use different visual elements, such as your character, the environment, the prop, use, the color and the mood of your images, the shape of the topography, the choice of words you use, and the design language or style of your visual presentation elements to control how people perceive your image. Keep in mind that for expert, don't keep anything four chance or randomness. It's all well thought out. Now this topic can get pretty complicated pretty easily and I'm not going to overwhelm you. Therefore, I'm going to simplify a few points that will matter to you the most. To kick-start your brand. Later on you can work as professional to enhance your personal brand image. Let's first talk about diaphysis or the message by which you present your work visually. Look at this. Which typeface do you think it's more suitable for a finance expert? I bet you guessed the first one. It looks more sharp, prestigious, and elegant. How about this one? Which typeface do you think is more suitable for a motivational quote? I bet you guessed the third is more energetic and motivating to simplify things for you as a rule of some Serif fonts, which are fonts that start and end with small 2s, are fonts that tend to be more classical and elegant. On the other hand, san-serif fonts that have noticed tend to be more informal and simple. Moreover, transcript font tend to be more casual, energetic, and playful. If you had to a free font websites such as the font.com, you can find a library of fonts in the same categories we talked about before. You submit any image to your social media. Try to experiment with different fonts to cohesively present your message visually. The next topic to talk about is colors. Look at the following colors. Do you think they are suitable to express the attitude of a finance expert? How about now? Which slides do you think fits the best? How about this slide? Do you think those colors are motivating? How about not much better, isn't it? The reason behind that secret is that our brain is wired to perceive each color differently and tag different meanings to different colors. If you want to discover your color scheme, head to cooler the scope and search for a color palette that fits your brand voice style. Next, we come to the topic of style or theme. This is one of the most important topics when it comes to communicating your brand attitude. Let's look at some examples of athletes and try to assign different styles to different athletes personalities. So let us look at the first athlete. What kind of person do you think he is? He seems to be bold and sharp, meaning he might be a hardcore training. Let's look at a social media profile. And it seems to me that he is a pretty motivated and extreme trainer. What kind of visual style can we assign to the strainer for social media posts or website? Well, if we had to create a market.com and search for different templates for workouts and athletes. We find that this template was bold typography, black and white. Both photography fits the best for this atlas. How about this athlete? Well, he seems to be more friendly and probably a bit more funny. So what kind of visual language do you think will fit better for this asset? Well, I think the previous styles won't fit his attitude. This visual language seems to be friendlier and matches better with his personality. Now let's look at our last example. What kind of personality do you think this trainer is? Well, I think he is more of a peaceful and calm person. More neutral and soft colors and topography will fit better with his attitude. As you can see that first, we began with a brand archetype at the structure of your brand personality and to attract a specific group of audience. Then we leverage typography, colors, and shapes to create a consistent image that reflects your archetypes attitude. Keep in mind that consistency is key. The last thing you want to do is one day to post about being a hardcore trainer. The second day, relaxing on the page, the third day a picture of you with friends in a bar. And the fourth day is a motivational quote that does not reflect your brand archetype and attitude. If you have no experience in designing your brand style, you can always hit to Fiverr and search for a designer to provide you with a brand style guide or create the visual look of your brand. However, you first have to understand the fundamentals. You can communicate clearly and control the outcome of your brand image. The next step of your brand presentation is creating your personal buyer. This is critical since most platforms and publication would ask you to provide a personal buyer to create your bio, you have to focus on two steps. The first step is finding your values and mission. Each one of us has values that we care about. Some are honesty, fairness, power, achievement, self-direction, novelty, and tradition. For me, personally, I care about honesty and to me, honestly means that I won't scam others and I will tell you the truth no matter what. That's why I spent a lot of my time researching what works and what doesn't, rather than making things up and setting fluffy dreams. I also care about fairness. I believe that everyone willing to work hard deserve an opportunity. That's why I priced the majority of my product at a low price point. I create a lot of free videos and I sometimes invite students from this fortunate countries to participate in my online workshops for free. I also care about achievement, meaning that I believe people need to focus on one thing and one thing only which is how to win and out to achieve result in life. Not ideal concept or unnecessary task. And that's why I focused in all my courses on how to build systems that people can leverage to earn money and improve their lives. I also care about steel direction, which means that people must have all the necessary knowledge to control the outcome of their life. That's why I tried to keep my students and clients complete system and blueprints. They can apply on their own with little to no help from me or others. As you can see that my values affect directly the way of how I create my products and how I present my personal brand. Your values too. You should take the time to lay down your values. What do these values mean to you? And how you should use them to create your brand. Now let's talk a little bit about your mission statement. By emission, we mean, what is it you want to accomplish that matters to your client? The most most starting expert mission statement falls flat on its head because it's selfish and makes no sense to their clients. If you stop an expert on the street and ask them, Hey, executed me, what is your mission statement? As an expert? You will probably hear things along these lines. I wanted to make a million dollars working online, or I want to teach 1 million students, or I want to help poor kids all around the world. Let me tell you, why is history mission statements might sound nice, but they won't help you succeed as an expert. The first is extremely selfish. Why should a client or a student care about how much money you want to make? The second one is cool. But in most scenarios, what does this have to do with clients and how does it relate to their life outcome? The third one is awesome, but it's too generic and vague. Most scenarios people want to help. However, this might not add up to the bottom line of their situation, which is getting results. It doesn't matter how nice you are if you cannot get some result. They won't feel motivated to buy your products and ask for your services. A much better, efficient statement is to focus directly on your client instead of anything else. And it's pretty simple. Take your expertise proposition and turn it into a mission statement by replacing a moving around a few words. Your mission statement for this scenario will be, my mission is to help advance bicyclist, to maintain the athletic physical fitness and when competition. That's it. It's direct and relative to your clients. My personal machine is to help small startup entrepreneurs, Techstars or small business on a budget and generate profit. The second part of writing your bio is to outline your background, your expertise, and your services. Your background is your origin story or your education. What expertise? It's your work experience or top achievement for services, it's what you offer to your clients in terms of solution or products. Keep in mind that your bio should be written in the third person. Mean that you write your bio as someone is describing you, not as you describe yourself. Let's take a quick look at my bio as a simple example. The first section is my background, and it includes a brief story about how I got into entrepreneurship from an early age. The second section is about my experience. And it explains how I gain practical experience. And that came after I spent over 14 years working with dotting intrapreneurs in one of the largest economies in the world. And third, it focuses on my services, and it mostly highlights my values and my current offering to my clients. Keep in mind that your buyer needs to be brief and relative to your clients. Don't include everything about yourself. Only include what matters the most to target client. Now let's go back to our friend Simon ester. If you read through his bio, it goes through the same point that we talked about previously. For your bio, you don't have to write, you're by yourself. Very few of us does. Just hit the fiber and search for a professional copywriter and look for people who speak native English or the language you want to write your bio n. This is going to cost you around $20, which is a great investment. Professionally talk about yourself. Lastly, let's talk about your work cited. Most dotting experts over-complicate the process of making their website. And I gotta tell you that when you are starting, it's not going to matter a lot. Whether you have an extremely expensive website or a simple one, for a simple reason, that you have no traffic yet. No one knows about you. Now let me explain this a bit about how you should approach creating your website. Your website is a collection of all the visual elements we talked about, including your colors, typography, and start off images. There are two types of website presentation that works best for expert. The first is to focus on promoting yourself. The website will include a professional logo of your name. It header image that reflects your archetype and expertise. A bio section that talks about you and your last style MLA section, if you want to regularly since valuable content your audits and sell products. And lastly, an Instagram feed. As you can see that this type of website presentation is simple, direct, and focuses on promoting you. The other ways that you can present your website is to focus on your clients while talking a little bit about yourself. On my website, I make it my primary focus to present what matters most for someone who wants to learn more about business. It starts with links to my online courses, which matters the most to my students, followed by other platforms I partnered up with. This will act as social proof, give my students more options and attract more business opportunities. Then a block section that includes ten articles with tons of free content. And lastly, my bio. If someone wants to know more about me, That's it. The easiest way to build your website is to use Wix. It's a pool and drag website builder. It comes with tons of templates and requires no coding skills. It makes it pretty simple to build a personal brand website. Now, I don't work with weeks, I don't sponsor weeks. It's up to you to choose whatever platform that worked for you. That's only an option. If you don't know how to build a website. Just head to fiber and look for weeks website designer, you can get a pretty good website design for $50 or so. Just keep in mind the fundamentals we talked about in terms of visuals, layout, and the order of your content. They are the most critical things to focus on. The rest is only a matter of technical skills you can learn on YouTube or hire someone to do the work on behalf of you are right. Now we read the assignment of this video ID due to research for different archetypes, colors, themes, and image styles that fit your brand personality. And I also want you to write or hire someone to write your five. That's going to be for this video. Take some rest and I will see you in the next video. Bye-bye. 6. How to Communicate Your Expertise on Social Media: Welcome back. In this video, we are going to talk about how to kickstart your brand on social media. Start building authority and communicate your message to a group of audience who will be interested in hearing your message in this course, I'm not going to talk deeply about the tactics of each social media tool that is beyond the topic of this course. My goal is to show you the big picture and teaching strategies that works for you as an expert, the tools or tactics you use should not be random and should mainly depend on where your audits exist and what is possible for you in terms of skills, most starting expert over complicated steps. And became by investing a lot of money in buying expensive tools without taking the time to practice and test things out. Some over-complicate the process, which make it difficult for them to kickstart their social media presents or state court system for a long time. And some fears the carrier and never developed the courage to speak out of their comfort zone and delivers their message to their audience in the first place. In this video, I promise you, we will try to tackle those issues and get you started with your first videos. First, let's get one of the most frustrating questions that most experts worry about. Odd power phase, which is, what should I talk about? As a matter of fact, there is no lack of topics you can talk about around your niche. You just need to know how to find what people are searching for on the Internet. There are a plenty of tools for that. The first tool we are going to use is called answered the public. And it's a free tool that allows you to find all the questions that people are asking about or interested in around a specific topic. As you can see that those are all the topics and questions that you can take a default for your social media content. The second method is to find a topic ideas from other experts on YouTube. If you look for channels with the most viewed content and take the time to dig inside their library. You can find that they took the time to explain all the different aspects that people might have questions about. You can take the same topics or question and reframe them with your approach and methods of teaching. The third method is to use the 3D approach we used before and look for questions and conversation that people talk about, then rephrase them or answers those questions in videos on YouTube. And the force source of content that you can leverage is your articles, which you did in the second step of developing your brand, you have spent a lot of time creating rich as valuable content. Why not reuse it for making social media content? When you are creating content for social media, try to focus on the following. First, group topics into themes, then create a group of videos that talk about one specific thing. For example, you can create a group of videos that talk specifically about an effective workout. Another group of videos that talk about a healthy diet. And another group of video that talks about developing a strong mindset. A second. Create how to without content. For example, how to lose belly fat without exercise. We are not trying to mislead or light. What we are trying to do is to reframe a problem in a ways that people would want to learn more about it. Our example how to lose belly fat without exercise could be a great video idea for an expert that talks about a healthy diet. Create topics video. For example, top five freestyle swimming techniques to swim faster. In this type of content, you offer audience quick access to the most important content that they are looking for. Force, create the most common mistakes video. This type of video, you display your expertise by highlighting why most people fail in developing specific skills or solving a specific problem. Those are the three major types of content that people tend to be curious about and click on. Fossil reason is that people want to know how to get results as fast as possible. They wanted to know what stops them from reaching the outcome they want. When you create content that addresses this point, you started to evolve and authority around your topic and give people a reason to share your content, try your product and overtime devolve trust towards your brand for getting results. Now keep in mind that when you create your content is to give 100% value, which means no fluff TO also give it all. But in a simpler format than your courses or your products. I have made over a 150 videos on YouTube explaining everything I know about business and yet people still buy my courses and asked me for my consulting services. Second, be honest. Please always be clear and honest about your message. Always put the interests of your audience on top of everything and gain their trust. Don't sell dreams or take advantage of your audience. They can figure it out pretty quickly. I put your reputation on the line. And lastly, teach don't sell. Especially at the beginning. You first need to learn the skills to communicate your message without feeling the pressure of needing to sell. Use social media to teach rather than to sell. Once trust is established, stealing becomes easier. To make a video, you have to structure it in a clear and short approach. You don't want to drive people on and on for a long time without giving them what they want, which is getting the answer as best as possible. To make your video follow the following structure. First, start by greeting people. For example, hello everyone, My name is newer and welcome to today's women tips video. Second, mentioned a problem or pain point. For example. Audio always trying to swim faster with freestyle techniques. It's still not happening for you. Explain the cause of the problem. For example, the reason you cannot swim faster is that you probably had developed the room breathing techniques. Most beginners, when they breathe, they list the entire head above the surface of the water, which drags their legs downward, increases water resistance for, suggests an effective solution. For example, Olympic swimmers like Michael Phillips had devolved the best techniques when it comes to breathing. They breathe instead of lifting their entire head, they tend to tilt their head 60 to 80 degrees while taking a breath. This will maintain a correct form. Decrease water resistance, which are return would make them swim faster. To work on this issue, follow this simple workout, then tell them what rules to follow to achieve results. If you can't do a video demonstration or breakdown a video of other athletes as a case study and as approved that your solution work. Fifth, and the video, for example, I hope you guys have liked this video and sound is valuable. If you'd like to learn more about how to swim faster and be more efficient swimmer subscribed to this channel. Thank you for watching. That's it. Keep it short, sweet. And simple. Three to five minutes, we'll be more than enough to explain a solution for a pinpoint. Now that you understand how to find topics, what kind of topic to talk about, the structure of your video, you should have a framework of how to start your social media presence. By now. You shouldn't be scattered all over the place with making your first videos. Your next step is to get rid of your fear of being on camera or presenting your ideas to an audience. First, pick your first topic as an exercise and dried it off copy outlining the main pain points that you want to talk about. This step will organize your salt. Second, it starts rehearsing these ideas while you are doing daily activities, such as cooking or in the shower, not in front of the camera. This will get you familiar with the flow of presenting your ideas without feeling the pressure of the camera. Third, practice recording your video in front of your mobile phone camera. If you find it awkward, it's normal. There's nothing wrong with you. Just keep going. The more you do it, the more comfortable you become. My advice to you is do not look at the screen, rather to focus looking at the lens. Once you look at the screen, you will start judging yourself harshly. Focus on the lens and think of it as a person you are talking with and trying to help. That's all. Keep in mind that you don't have to upload the first ten or 50 or a 100 videos you make. Spent a week or two just practicing and trying new approaches to find what works best for you. This was slowly take of the fear and awkward feeling of being on camera. There is no right way or no wrong way. There is only the way that works for you the best, okay? Lastly, one or two weeks later, upload and publish your first video, even if it's not perfect. Let me show you a simple example. As you can see from the first video I made, I feel so shy and so awkward even after practicing for a couple of weeks. The reason for that I came very late into this digital content, the universe. I have an extremely introverted by nature. However, that's not a good executes for not being on camera. So I kept going or making videos and publishing videos daily. And after another couple of weeks, I was spending more confident and comfortable with presenting my content on camera for the reasons that my brain gotten more familiar with the process and I can freely focused on presenting my content. Keep in mind that you want to keep things simpler, especially at the beginning steps of the process. Which means that simple recording equipment, a simple lighting, simple script, simple editing, no fancy stuff. Just keep it simple. With this method. I was able to create consistently over a 150 video. Initial period, had experience with different styles and themes of visual presentation. Most people give up after a couple of features because they over-complicate the process and make it very difficult for them to create content consistently. Now you don't have to like every video you'll make, and it doesn't have to be perfect later on, when more people get to know you, when you generate more profit, you can hire a professional video team to delete all your old content, create a new content and presented in a polished and a better way. But at the beginning, you got to start from somewhere, okay. Now you might think that keeping things simple won't get you followers, and that's not true. Check out this guy YouTube channel. He got plenty of flags and over a 190 thousand subscribers. While keeping things extremely simple. The reason for that people who follow him care about the value and honesty of the information rather than the presentation of his video. Now let's mix things up. We talked previously about the importance of bread archetype and how you should be consistent across all your communication channels. So my point isn't to oversimplify your presentation, but to simplify it the most critical elements. Therefore, if you find that it's critical to present your video in a different environment, always different prompts, or do you find it necessary to team up with a creative team to present your idea. I'm not going to stop you from doing that. However, only if it is necessary and does not distract the main point or building your brand, which is showing your expertise and building trust around your brand. The purpose of why I chose the simple tools and methods is that I decided to take on the average entrepreneur archetype. If I can't do it, you can do it too. This will reflect on the situation of my students. It makes sense to the price point of my products. And that comes With the understanding of the situation of my students and my audience. They mainly share similar pattern. People who want to start a small business and make an income on a low budget, have little to no money. Live in underdeveloped or developing economies, have low confidence with starting a business and manipulated by fake gurus, I wouldn't be able to be trust with them if I talk at them from a place of extreme wealth, like other vigorous or assumed to start a business on a small budget. While I start from expensive equipment such as professional microphone and cameras, this wouldn't make sense to my students and clients. I'm asking them to do one thing while I'm doing quite the opposite, it shows a lack of empathy and understanding of my audience. Always, always, always focus on what matters the most to audience and how we can reflect their situation when making your content. There are two primary methods to presenting yourself on social media and taking a stranger from the point of not knowing you to a point they believe you are an expert. Both methods depends on whether you want to reflect on your client's situation or attracts them to it, desirable outcome. Those both approaches would make a connect immediately with someone who belongs to your ordinary group. Someone who wants to become a part of your high level groups, such as wanting to achieve your level of wealth or fitness, your next step is to educate them on all the myths and misconceptions around that topic, then motivate and inspire them to make a change. And finally, you get to suggest and effective solution. If you look at the method when you reflect your audits image, you can see that this guy is reflecting the image of an average guy struggling to improve his body. He's sharing tips, tricks, and facts on how to overcome fitness challenges. On the other hand, this is a more accomplished athlete. And two, took the approach of attracting others to desirable outcome rather than reflecting the current situation. In other words, he is telling the three. This approach tend to be more costly because you need the best visual presentation of your content. It also might get you more in trouble if you over-promise and people figure out that you misled them or you lack honesty in your content. I don't recommend this approach, especially if you are starting now that you understand the most critical points of making your content, the rest is easy. Once you upload your first couple of videos, your next step is to work a bit on the branding of your YouTube channel that include a name that relate to your topic Is your name. In addition, you have to add a professional photo of yourself, a graphic banner. In addition to writing your channel description, you can design your channel banner by simply hitting to Canva and searching for YouTube channel art. This free tool will provide you with tons of templates that you can adjust to fit your brand. If you are not into design, you can look for a freelancer on Fiverr to create a professional banner for ten to $15.1 point I wanted to resolve before we move next is that so many experience get too hung up on the idea of the number of followers or video views. Let me make it simple for you. Youtube is a massive platform and it takes an extended period to get unnoticed. Remember what you are trying to accomplish. We are not trying to be influencers. We are not trying to make money out of YouTube advertising. What we are trying to do is we are trying to educate a small group of people around a specific topic. We also wanted to create a library of content we can refer clients to as a low entry offer to our service. We are also trying to get people get closer to us rather than hiding behind products. Without personality or unknown people. We present ourselves to the world and start a conversation. However, it is still insist on the number of followers and video views. Then I got a couple of options that will work for you. It's kind of taking your way in. I believe it or not, most suitable, use them to get more views and followers. The best option is just to simply buy subscribers MPG abuse. I know that might sound unethical, but the reality is that YouTube is a platform that depends highly on the number of video views and subscribers to list a video. In this method, you get yourself a decent amount of views as subscribers in a short period. Most users, it uses message to get higher listening, but they just don't dare to talk about it. The second method is to buy an existing YouTube channel with an existing audience, delete all the old content, and then change the name and the branding. Just make sure that you buy a challenge that is consistent with your niche. Okay, so now we can focus on the next step. You have to create a Facebook business page that is separated from your Facebook personal page. Then you have to post the first two or five videos that you've created on your R2D2 on this page. The reason we want to post on Facebook is that Google, we index all the content you create on Facebook and displayed under the video section on Google when people search for your name. Since you created your YouTube videos, you can leverage the audio files to start your podcasts. Simply had to anchor that FM and create a free account. This free tool will allow you to create a free podcasts, converts your video into audio files, then distributed to the three platforms such as Spotify, Apple podcasts, and other platforms in only one-click and it's all for free. Next is your LinkedIn. Linkedin is a platform that is designed to connect with professional. Therefore, you probably need to slightly change your branding element, a message, toward a higher paying clients. Keep your personal picture consistent across all your social media channels. Also make sure to write your proficient. Next, click on open to choose services. This will allow LinkedIn show your name in the search result when clients search for experts in specific area, click on additional services and choose three to four main services that you want to offer your clients. Keeping them within one area of expertise, then choose available to work remotely. For the Abbas section includes a bio we did previously. And in the feature section include articles you will create on LinkedIn. Don't worry, you don't have to write new articles. Just take the same article you did previously. Create a new article on LinkedIn, then copy and paste the same content. That's all. Next was experienced. Create a new section where you talk specifically about what you do to your client. That includes all the services that you offer. Keep it clear and short. When it comes to previous experience, explain what kind of job you did and your primary role. Remember that LinkedIn is a place where professional look for experts, so clarity in presentation is amassed. Another section to include in your LinkedIn profile is your publication. This includes the course you will create or any other publication you did in the past. That's all.

Some of you will get excited about how to design your feet beautifully. And some of you will spend the majority of your time on live streams, other, when invested a lot of time and making Instagram stories. To be honest with you, I cannot teach you all the tactics. But what I can teach you is this. No matter what tools and tactics you will use, the strategy is always the same. Find where your audience exists. Then present them with content that shows your face along with your name to act with a specific topic and specific style and a pleasurable experience. Then repeat that over and over and over until people remember you and they remember what you do. Most importantly, be honest, protect your reputation, build trust through given value, and keep your content relevant to your audience. Meaning talking less about yourself and focusing more on what matters the most to orders. Alright, so your assignment for this week is the following.

Please understand that building something great takes time and effort. The most successful mega brand took over ten to 20 years to establish a solid reputation in the mind of the customer. And the personal brand is no different regardless of how good your content and knowledge are, people still need to take time to recognize you as an expert in a specific field. Develop trust towards your brand. Please. Please, please don't fall into the trap that you can devote a professional personal brand by spending your time lying on the beach and spending a few $100 on Facebook advertising the people who are selling you, these ideas are scam. That's it. When you develop your personal brand. Be approachable and close to your audience and clients, don't talk at them. Rather, talk like you are one of them, but with a little bit more experience, be humbled. This will shorten the gap between you and them and develop trust faster.
