SPECIAL NOTICE: If you don’t have much time to read, feel free to click on any of these category of subtopics that interests you for quick access for it will take you straight to it.

WHAT IS ONLINE BRANDING


Online Branding is the process of exposing your brand on the internet using various promotional methods and on all levels of internet marketing be it through social or search engines.

A brand can be anything: be it name, logo, tone, sound, emotion, reputation, personal trait etc.

For example, in the food industry, coca-cola is a big brand that has established a very strong reputation over the years making it widely acceptable by almost all countries of the world.

Another example is Richard Branson, a British billionaire businessman, is a big brand in the entrepreneurship industry who has set up multiple businesses(Virgin group of companies).

I hope you understand my point?

Lets continue.

There is a saying that goes thus below:

“Your brand is how people perceive you wherever they interact with your business — both the impressions you can control and the ones you can’t”

To get a personal opinion of what online branding is all about and how to build it up, we will take the opinion of Dan Lok, an Asian Business Guru as he says in his YouTube video below:

Lets watch together

What little did you gain from his video?

Recollecting?

You can watch it again to get a good grab of majority of what he has said so far.

Now, as for me, i love that part where he said this: “I earned one fan, one at a time”. You can’t build a personal brand overnight- it takes time, effort, and strategy to build a successful personal brand”.

Surely, it is not going to be easy building up a very strong brand that commands a very strong audience fans. It takes lots of sacrifice and consistency to build one.

Another aspect that i love is when he said this: In order to build a sustainable personal brand, you need to build on something that has substance.

I love that word “Substance” that he mentioned.

According to him, substance means you are building on something that is sustainable and can stand the test of time.

This is why the likes of Nike, Micheal Jordan, Coca cola, Lionel Messi etc are very popular because they are know for performance, skill and excellence.

For example, in the world of football, Lionel Messi is a big brand known for this skills and excellence on the field of play which has earned him upto 6 FIFA best-player awards.

That is a brand.

And lastly, another area he talked about is Fame and Fortune.

According to him, such brand must be something that can sustain a living for you, not just been popular and cannot pay house rent.

Don’t get me wrong here.

I am not saying you have to be a stupendously rich and financially strong like Christiano Ronaldo or Nike but atleast being very comfortable having 3-square meals a day.

I hope you understand what i am talking about?

Do you?

Good.

Lets proceed further with the topic

In order not to waste time, let us check out the various ways you can build your brand online to the highest levels.

Without wasting time,

Let roll.

START A BLOG


One great place that comes with lots of traffic visitors is search engines and the easy way to reach out to them is by setting up a blog.

Setting up a blog is easy but quite technical to do but with the right knowledge, you can design a great one for yourself or have others do it for you.

An easy way to get started is by registering on a web-hosting site, choosing a domain, buying a hosting plan and selecting a platform (preferably WordPress) to bring your site LIVE.

If you wish to do it yourself, here is an amazing tutorial to help yourself out here: HOW TO START A BLOG SUCCESSFULLY.

If interested in implementing this strategy of starting off a blog, I personally make use of this web-hosting company called “BlueHost Web-Hosting”.

They offer discount prices on their hosting plan packages with excellent customer care support.

I haven’t had any issues with them since i begin using them.

Now,

After you have registered and purchased a domain name and hosting plan, the main part which is building the website is another thing entirely on it own.

But to conquer this aspect, your website design MUST be very attractive and eye-catching.

Aside that, there exist 3 factors that helps promote your blog to higher google rankings to get lots of traffic visitors and they include the following below

Great content

This is about writing unique content about your brand. it has to be in copywriting form in a way to attract, engage and turn potential customers into sales.

Such content can be in form of products reviews, sales page, landing pages, visuals(images, infographics), info content etc.

It all depends on the type of brand you want to promote online. You can write such articles yourself or hire a professional writer to do it for you.

There are professional article writers and web designers that you can hire on fiverr to help you do all the whole work while you relax here: Fiverr Freelancing Writing

Backlinks

To achieve the most of this, it must involve creating high quality backlinks from high domain authority websites. More emphasis on the “high domain authority websites”.

Creating such type of backlinks can be very time-consuming and tedious if you want to do it yourself.

But you can have others do it for you at very cheap, affordable costs here: Seoestore SEO Panel

They offer backlinks and SEO campaigns for as low as $0.25 per unit backlink.

Very cheap?

Cheap indeed!

Social media

This was exactly how top bloggers like brain dean, neil patel etc build their brands online.

CREATE VIDEOS AND POST ON YOUTUBE


YouTube is the 2nd biggest website with over 2 billion users worldwide with over 30 million traffic visitors trooping in on a daily basis.

So wont it be wise to invest on YouTube and get a chunk bit of those traffic to know about your brand?

The only challenge here is to “CREATE SUCH VIDEOS”.

There are several video-creation tools you can use but i personally recommend using this tool here called DOODLEMAKER TOOL which i use personally too.

you know why?

it is because it comes exclusively with its own voice-over technology, meaning that you dont need to purchase voice-overs separately.

If you do not like “animation or cartoon” type of video, there are other good alternatives which allows you to create videos using real images, text and voice narrative.

They are but not limited to the following; Canva, Clipchamp, WaveVideo, Invideo, Kapwing etc.

The good ones which i highly recommend(which i personally use to create my promotional videos) are Canva and Invideo


With over 5000+ ready-made templates in various niches and categories, it is the easiest, fastest way to create high-quality videos that are professional and publish-ready.

Creating LIVE Video: But, if you want to create a LIVE streaming video with you showing yourself in it, OBS Studio software is the best bet for you.


All you need do is to visit their website here: OBS Project, master how to use it, download and install the OBS software into your computer.

Open it and start recording.

But all in all as regards these video creation software, it is yours to choose.

OFFLINE MARKETING


This is all about designing and printing out flyers, posters and business cards containing info about you and your business profile.

And the most important of them all is DISTRIBUTION to every persons within your neighborhood, church, office, outsiders, parties etc.

Even aside that you can even upload to image-sharing sites like slideshare, Instagram etc.

The ONLY CHALLENGE here is DESIGNING one for yourself and an attractive, eye-catching one for the matter.

But if you do not have any graphic skills, you do not need to worry about this because there are several freelance platforms where you can hire one to design for you and one great place is Fiverr Freelancing Site.
