TOP NINE BRANDING TIPS FOR YOU
INTRODUCTION
Some persons are so good but not visible. Some persons can write so well and remind us of Shakespeare but we don't know them.
A study conducted shows Pepsi us sweeter than Coca-Cola but they are not mates in the market😁
Tonight, I want to share nine powerful tips with us that will make our brands bigger and more visible.
We are all trying to build our brands and there is nothing like a perfect brand.
Let's go🏃🏻🏃🏻
1️⃣ HAVE A BRANDING GOAL IN MIND
Goals are staircase to a brighter future. The higher you get, the closer you are to the next floor.
If I run a fashion hub, my goal might be being the largest fashion brand in Africa.
Set large goals for your brand. Oh, I want to be the most popular Social Media Marketer in the World. Then start small.
Think Global and act local. Start from where you are and think of the next step.
We all want a brighter career don't we? Then we should set goals that will scare us off our dreams.
2️⃣ BE A GOOD STORY TELLER.
Do you know you are as good as others say you are? No matter how good you think you are, if your audience see you as a trash, then you are.
Make people see how good you are through story telling.
Post great content spiced up with the thyme of a good and emotional story.
When Glo wants to advertise, they use a good story to capture your attention.
Milo and other great brands do thesame thing.
In your branding journey, keep the steam going by firing people up with great stories. 😊
3️⃣ HAVE A CAPTIVATING BIO
Please don't be modest in creating your bio and do write for the audience you want to reach.
Include your three greatest achievements in your bio and whenever you achieve something bigger, fix it there.
First, introduce yourself and then state what you do and next, your achievements. Please don't lie.
Don't mistake Dubai for Ekiadolor. They are not thesame 😜
Stating your achievements is not bragging. No. 😊
It is simply who you are!
So right now, go and change that bio on your Instagram account and LinkedIn. Run 🏃♂️🏃♂️
Send me the bio so I can edit if you wish. And if you find it difficult send a message.
4️⃣ COPY UNTIL YOU BECOME
You cannot know everything. I'm not asking you to be a mediocre but don't play the humble card. That's branding!
The fact that I stay in a typical Ajegunle does not mean I can't snap in a penthouse and post on my wall.
Look at how those who are miles ahead of you are doing things and then try to do same and even better.
Pepsi is doing same thing. Although it hasn't beaten Coca-Cola, but they will never dull themselves😊
Be like Pepsi.
I call the process of copying 'reverse engineering'
Tik Tok reverse engineered Snapchat
So you see, it is not a crime to copy 😜
5️⃣ YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA FOOTPRINT.
Haven't you heard? Gold is no longer golden 😱. Social media is the new 'golden'.
If you ask Rema how he got there, he'll tell you someone saw his song on social media and decided to help.
What are you posting on your Instagram business account? Do you even have one?
Social media is to a brand what wings is to the eagle. Neglect Social media in this 21st century and you won't soar.🦅
Learn how to run Facebook Ads for your brand. E get why!
With #400, you can gain over 15 customers. Some of us are here now because they saw my Ad. And guess what, I can teach you 😉
6️⃣ SAY CHEESE; SHARE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS.
Raise your hand if you prefer reading to watching videos. Majority love videos. I love videos a lot 😊
Dear brandee 😊 learn to create videos. You may not be good at it at first. What is important is to keep moving.
So, leaverage on Instagram and share your videos. It may be in form of animation (e.g bright side) or you talking (e.g Neil Patel).
Same goes with pictures. Gone are the days of Wole Soyinka and Achebe. Our new generation no like to dey read long😂
7️⃣ BECOME YOUR BRAND MEGAPHONE.
Be like United States. If they donate one dollar to your country, the whole world will hear it. Don't be afraid to say you are a web developer. People are looking for you.
Baby, blow your own trumpet 🎺. Have you written a book, tell them. Can you sing, tell us and show us your track later.
A closed mouth is a closed destiny.
Don't be scared of being mocked... It's a must! You must be laughed at so you will have sense 😃
I spent a whole year afraid of holding sessions.
Just imagine Ronaldo was scared of playing, Messi would have been inarguably called the Greatest of all time.
Common be a Ronaldo and share the glory 😁
8️⃣ OFFER VALUE
The book 'The volunteer's by Jeffery Ehikioya Itepu talked about offering value freely.
This will make you visible. My friend told me a year ago that he wanted to teach people for free and today, he is a public speaker.
But hey, when offering value for free, offer with the whole of your heart.
Don't be like the girl who promised me a free cake on my birthday and ended up not adding nutmeg and alcohol.🤪
9️⃣ *LAUNCH YOUR BRAND.*
Do you have a website? Do you have a sales page? Do you have a blog you can refer people to? Do you have a Facebook page and an Instagram business account?
Someone at the back just said NO.
Hey!
Do it afraid. Create that page and post what you love doing the most.
If Jeff Bezos was scared of selling, I wouldn't have known the name today.
I know you are not scared but you are waiting for the right time 😁
If you already have a brand, I'm happy for you o, keep working!
If you don't, I'm happy for you. No be who first start dey carry first._ _afterall, Messi has 6 balon d'or and Ronaldo has 5. (Sorry CR7 fans).
Start now!
