Hey folks! We're ready to get started. So feel free to send @amandamogul and @SmallBizLady your questions. #riseabove- @SmallBizLady What are three common pitfalls brands and entrepreneurs fall into that keep them from standing out from the crowd? #riseabove
A1 The top issues I see people have is not staying focused on your brand message, not selected a niche, and not being consistent #Riseabove
@blackenterprise A1 - Not having a strong online presence, web site that speaks to customers is the pitfall that I see #RiseAbove #riseabove- @darrensands A1 Also, entrepreneurs can be reluctant to market themselves to the wider world - speaking, training, PR #RiseAbove #riseabove
How do you discover your personal brand if you're having trouble figuring it out? @SmallBizLady #riseabove- @Amazingly_Stacy My online brand tells u who I am & what I'm all about. Then when u look at my Twtr stream & blog it supports it #Riseabove
@Amazingly_Stacy begin building your personal brand by identifying who you are, what you want to say and who you want to attract. #riseabove- @omylola You should have google alerts for your brand & your name & your top competitors. That's the best brand tracking tool #Riseabove
- @omylola @smallbizlady I also love Google alerts but also Sprout Social is an amazing tracking and management tool #RiseAbove
@amandamogul what do you think are some key qualities for a successful brand? #RiseAbove- @duane19015 You need to position yourself as an influencer or convener of your peers or target customers. Then u can leverage it #Riseabove
- @kareenparker You must carve out a niche and dominate that niche to be effective with social media. It will tak 12 to 18 months #Riseabove
- @Shaareee Successful brands are always on message, universally known, use consistent graphics and provide helpful content #Riseabove
- @SmallBizLady -- Any advice to small businesses hesitant to jump into the process of branding in social media? #riseabove
- @darrensands Do not do everything. Start with 1 social media site. Figure out where your best customer is online and be there too #Riseabove
@amandamogul How would you advise entrepreneurs to enter the wider world of speaking, training? When is the best time? #RiseAbove- @GabrielleDenson once you have a signature talk/presentation you've gotten rave reviews on, then take it on tour #RiseAbove #riseabove
- @GabrielleDenson Become a speaker if you have a POV, a system, or a message to share. Get training from toastmasters or NSA #Riseabove
- @amandamogul how do you attract speaking opportunities? Do you seek out or do they find you? #riseabove
- @BrandingMuse You should be pitching yourself for speaking gigs & if u use social media effectively opportunities will come too #Riseabove
- @BrandingMuse I don't wait for speaking opps to find me. But because I don't wait, they do find me because I market myself #RiseAbove
