5 Ways To Build Your EDU Brand Using LinkedIn: Featuring Andrew Pass

In this episode of the Jeff Bradbury Show, Jeff discusses the 4 things that every podcast website needs to have to be efficient and successful.If you are a new listener to TeacherCast, we would love to hear from you. Please visit our Contact Page and let us know how we can help you today.4 Critical Things Your Website Needs To Be SuccessfulA FocusEvery website needs a focus but not every website HAS a focus. When developing your website, there are only two major focuses that you should be thinking about…. YOU, and YOUR AUDIENCE.A Well-Organized Office SuiteOver the last few years, I have been asked the same question over and over … “how do you keep everything organized?” The answer is simple … GET ORGANIZED AND STAY ORGANIZED!Last year, I converted all my TeacherCast files from Google into Microsoft Office documents and started using Microsoft Teams to keep everything neatly wrapped under one digital roof. Because of this system, I am now able to quickly create a series of templates that span weeks into the future saving me countless hours of prep time each week.Using applications such as Microsoft Teams, Planner, and Microsoft 365 has provided me not only with an organizational system from which I can build my business but also allows me to have more time at home with my family.Clearly Defined Landing PagesEvery website is made up of posts and pages, but what is the difference?Blog posts, podcast posts, and other like content are uni-themed pieces of content that are dynamic in nature. Your pages, however, are vehicles where not only your posts and podcasts live, but your audience spends the majority of their time.Creating landing pages that not only tell your story, but walk your user through a content journey will allow you to determine not only what they click on, but HOW they click on the content you are creating.Email MarketingIf you are looking to Build Your EDU Brand, then email marketing needs to be always on the front of your mind. The ability to bring in a reader or listener to your website is easy, but capturing their email and allowing them the opportunity to be a part of your inner circle is a completely different ball game. Your email marketing starts on the top of your front page (no pop-up’s please) and ends months and months later when you convert those users into paying customers of your book, online course, or additional content.Are you looking for ways to learn more about Email Marketing?

YOU, and YOUR AUDIENCE.</p><h3>A Well-Organized Office Suite</h3><p>Over the last few years, I have been asked the same question over and over … “how do you keep everything organized?” The answer is simple … GET ORGANIZED AND STAY ORGANIZED!</p><p>Last year, I converted all my TeacherCast files from Google into Microsoft Office documents and started using <a href="https://www.teachercast.net/?s=microsoft+teams" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Microsoft Teams</a> to keep everything neatly wrapped under one digital roof. Because of this system, I am now able to quickly create a series of templates that span weeks into the future saving me countless hours of prep time each week.</p><p>Using applications such as Microsoft Teams, Planner, and Microsoft 365 has provided me not only with an organizational system from which I can build my business but also allows me to have more time at home with my family.</p><h3>Clearly Defined Landing Pages</h3><p>Every website is made up of posts and pages, but what is the difference?</p><p>Blog posts, podcast posts, and other like content are uni-themed pieces of content that are dynamic in nature. Your pages, however, are vehicles where not only your posts and podcasts live, but your audience spends the majority of their time.</p><p>Creating landing pages that not only tell your story, but walk your user through a content journey will allow you to determine not only what they click on, but HOW they click on the content you are creating.</p><h3>Email Marketing</h3><p>If you are looking to <a href="http://www.buildyouredubrand.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Build Your EDU Brand</a>, then email marketing needs to be always on the front of your mind. The ability to bring in a reader or listener to your website is easy, but capturing their email and allowing them the opportunity to be a part of your inner circle is a completely different ball game. Your email marketing starts on the top of your front page (no pop-up’s please) and ends months and months later when you convert those users into paying customers of your book, online course, or additional content.</p><p>Are you looking for ways to learn more about Email Marketing?

Is Email Marketing Right For My EDU Brand?

In this episode of the Jeff Bradbury Show, Jeff shares his 5 Non-Negotiable Rules for Personal and Professional Branding.If you are a new listener to TeacherCast, we would love to hear from you. Please visit our Contact Page and let us know how we can help you today.5 Rules of Personal and Professional BrandingBe Hyper FocusedThis first one is important and a rule that I often break.When you are trying to create something that you want people to remember you for, it’s critical that you stay hyper-focused. When a user comes to your website, listens to your podcast, or sees you on Social Media, you want them to instantly connect with not only who you are, but what your message is.This will help you not only stay on brand but keep you focused on hitting your target avatar.If you create content in multiple content streams it gets messy and tends to confuse your audience who will eventually grow to expect a certain type of content from you each week.On TeacherCast, the content is broken down into 5 distinct categories, General EdTech, Instructional Coaching, Website Design, Podcasting, and Build your EDU Brand. It is possible that someone will visit the website interested in learning about all these topics, but more likely that they are visiting for only one topic and not interested in the others. For this reason, I offer them multiple Social Media accounts where they can feel like they are getting the content they are interested in without being bombarded by content they are not interested in.If you look at many of the larger brands, this same philosophy applies. They might have a Twitter account for their company and an individual Twitter account to support individual applications or programs within the company.For smaller companies and those just getting started, I don’t recommend this method at all. When starting as a new brand, companies should create a single brand that is memorable, on point with their content and most of all, hyper focused on their company message.Be AuthenticOne of the biggest lessons that anyone can learn early on in their brands is the ability to become vulnerable and authentic with their audience. It is extremely difficult to gain a subscriber, attract a podcast listener, or entice a company to work with you. On the other hand, it’s extremely easy for someone to click the unfollow or unsubscribe button and walk away forever.Have you ever thought about how much time it takes you to gain a follower, a subscriber, or like?Out of all the 5 Rules, this is the most difficult one to live up to. Being Authentic means being vulnerable. You must put yourself “out there” to your audience in a way that makes them not only know who you are, but care about you enough for them to want to come back to you for added conversations.For some content creators this is easy. I often see educators at conferences who have a talent for being in front of groups and letting themselves be present in the moment. For me this is scarry.For the longest time, I put up a wall between myself and my audience. For the first several years of TeacherCast, I even (on purpose) omitted my name from the website. Even to this day, I still refer to TeacherCast as “it” or in the third person. Often, I when asked how the website or podcast is doing, I respond with “it’s going great” or “we are doing some good things together”. In hindsight, this is a defense mechanism to hide how proud I am of my accomplishments and how much I am proud of how many people the podcast has affected over the years.About 4 years into TeacherCast, I decided to add my name to the sidebar on the front page. This was a BIG STEP and a step that only happened once I met someone at a conference who said something shocking to me. They said, “I listen to your podcast all of the time, but I would never know it was you because you never mention your name on the show.” (#Ouch)From then on, I decided to be authentic with my audience and to quit playing “radio” on the show. My topics have become more personal. I opened up on the podcast about my job, my family, the triplets, and it brought me closer to my audience and more important, it brought my audience closer to me.If you are going to be anything to your audience, be authentic.Have A StoryAudiences connect to people, not to content. If you create a great blog post or author a good book, you may get several people checking it out, but once they get what they need, they will eventually bounce and might never come back. However, if you can find a way to tell your story through your content, your audience will be able to connect not with just what they are trying to consume, but with YOU the content creator.But what happens if you are just getting started writing content and your story hasn’t been written yet?If you don’t yet have a strong back story that you wish to share with your audience then don’t be afraid to say just that. Before anyone becomes an expert in their field or at their craft, they are first learners of the subject. Many bloggers, authors, and podcasters start their journey as curious minds who happen to be writing or recording about their favorite topics. If this is your story … then this is YOUR STORY.When I first started podcasting, I did several shows all about the topic of podcasting and how to be a good podcaster. It wasn’t until many years after those early days that I decided to create an entire podcast, channel, social media feed and Facebook group dedicated to helping others learn the art of educational podcasting. I was first a learner of the subject sharing what I knew. When it was time for me to advance from learner to expert, things changed and so did my story and my message to my community.So … What is your story? Be ConsistentThink about your favorite soft drink company. What makes them stand out from the pack?Is it the way that their drink tastes? Maybe … but I bet it’s also the way the product looks, or the packaging they use, or the colors and style of their logos.Being a consistent content creator means being a consistent content creator everywhere. When you go through the process of creating a brand you take the time to think about your logo, brand colors, fonts, styles, and tone of your product. (and so much more) Consistency is that one thing that makes people remember you.Consistency, however, doesn’t simply refer to your brand assets. Your audience will grow to expect certain things from your brand. These things might include the frequency of your social media posts, the day of the week you send out your newsletter, and even the topics that you discuss on your podcast.Consistency is super important when creating your brand kit as well as any content that you produce.I don’t subscribe to many blogs using my email address. I don’t want unnecessary content to clog up my inbox and for that reason, I have a busy RSS reading application from which I subscribe to my feeds. However, there are some blogs that I wish to have in my inbox the moment they get released. Recently, I noticed that one of my favorite authors, someone who is very influential in the WordPress space started releasing content every day rather than once a week. This did something for me. It made me actually read his content less now that there was more of it in front of me. It actually devalued his message in my eyes to the point that when something new comes in the mail, I almost always read the title and hit the delete button. In the past, I used to read through most of the article in my inbox and eventually click into the actual blog post to see his full post and learn more.What has changed?It wasn’t the content. It is all top-notch content about WordPress and marketing. What changed was the rate at which it was being sent out to me. I couldn’t catch up and because I am not able to take the time each day to consume substantial amounts of this bloggers work, I am simply removing it often.When you start off creating content, it’s important for you to be up front with your audience. A simple statement to your audience sharing how much content they should expect when they subscribe is extremely useful and will help them stay on your brand or make a different decision for themselves.For example, your blog content might come out each day with an option to subscribe to your daily blog, but your newsletter might be a weekly publication that wraps up all of the written, social, and audio content from the week.Live Your BrandFinally we come to a rule that neither you or any company can afford to ignore.Have you ever seen a speaker get up and do a big presentation and then get off the stage and do a complete 180 when you meet them? You might be thinking “who was that up there and what happened to them when the lights went off?”If you are hyper-focused on what you are doing, being consistent and authentic about your story then you are on the fast track to living your brand.From the very beginning of TeacherCast, the tagline “A Place for Teachers to Help Other Teachers” has been glued to the top of each and every page, post, and podcast. The website is essentially a culmination of teachers from around the world coming together to share their thoughts, feelings, and expertise with you the content consumer. My goal is to bring as many thought leaders as I can together to create a product that I hope someone enjoys and wants to visit a second time. (This book is no exception to this rule)You can’t be the politician who is seen as championing one cause as they turn around and get endorsed by the very companies they just pledged to eliminate on stage. You must live your brand.Your audience wants to route for you. They want to see you succeed. They want to know what you are going to be posting next because they want to get to know YOU.But before there is an audience to do just this … you first have to define who that audience is!Explore these ResourcesEverything You Ever Wanted To Know about Professional BrandingThe Importance of Live Streaming Your ContentFollow our Podcast and SubscribeView All Episodes of the Jeff Bradbury ShowApple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsAmazon MusicFollow our HostJeff Bradbury | @JeffBradburyTeacherCast | @TeacherCastGet The Help and Support You Need ...

This was a BIG STEP and a step that only happened once I met someone at a conference who said something shocking to me. They said, “I listen to your podcast all of the time, but I would never know it was you because you never mention your name on the show.” (#Ouch)</p><p>From then on, I decided to be authentic with my audience and to quit playing “radio” on the show. My topics have become more personal. I opened up on the podcast about my job, my family, the triplets, and it brought me closer to my audience and more important, it brought my audience closer to me.</p><p>If you are going to be anything to your audience, be authentic.</p><h3>Have A Story</h3><p>Audiences connect to people, not to content. If you create a great blog post or author a good book, you may get several people checking it out, but once they get what they need, they will eventually bounce and might never come back. However, if you can find a way to tell your story through your content, your audience will be able to connect not with just what they are trying to consume, but with YOU the content creator.</p><p>But what happens if you are just getting started writing content and your story hasn’t been written yet?</p><p>If you don’t yet have a strong back story that you wish to share with your audience then don’t be afraid to say just that. Before anyone becomes an expert in their field or at their craft, they are first learners of the subject. Many bloggers, authors, and podcasters start their journey as curious minds who happen to be writing or recording about their favorite topics. If this is your story … then this is YOUR STORY.</p><p>When I first started podcasting, I did several shows all about the topic of podcasting and how to be a good podcaster. It wasn’t until many years after those early days that I decided to create an entire podcast, channel, social media feed and Facebook group dedicated to helping others learn the art of educational podcasting. I was first a learner of the subject sharing what I knew. When it was time for me to advance from learner to expert, things changed and so did my story and my message to my community.</p><p>So … <em>What is your story? </em></p><h3>Be Consistent</h3><p>Think about your favorite soft drink company. What makes them stand out from the pack?</p><p>Is it the way that their drink tastes? Maybe … but I bet it’s also the way the product looks, or the packaging they use, or the colors and style of their logos.</p><p>Being a consistent content creator means being a consistent content creator everywhere. When you go through the process of creating a brand you take the time to think about your logo, brand colors, fonts, styles, and tone of your product. (and so much more) Consistency is that one thing that makes people remember you.</p><p>Consistency, however, doesn’t simply refer to your brand assets. Your audience will grow to expect certain things from your brand. These things might include the frequency of your social media posts, the day of the week you send out your newsletter, and even the topics that you discuss on your podcast.</p><p>Consistency is super important when creating your brand kit as well as any content that you produce.</p><p>I don’t subscribe to many blogs using my email address. I don’t want unnecessary content to clog up my inbox and for that reason, I have a busy RSS reading application from which I subscribe to my feeds. However, there are some blogs that I wish to have in my inbox the moment they get released. Recently, I noticed that one of my favorite authors, someone who is very influential in the WordPress space started releasing content every day rather than once a week. This did something for me. It made me actually read his content less now that there was more of it in front of me. It actually devalued his message in my eyes to the point that when something new comes in the mail, I almost always read the title and hit the delete button. In the past, I used to read through most of the article in my inbox and eventually click into the actual blog post to see his full post and learn more.</p><p>What has changed?</p><p>It wasn’t the content. It is all top-notch content about WordPress and marketing. What changed was the rate at which it was being sent out to me. I couldn’t catch up and because I am not able to take the time each day to consume substantial amounts of this bloggers work, I am simply removing it often.</p><p>When you start off creating content, it’s important for you to be up front with your audience. A simple statement to your audience sharing how much content they should expect when they subscribe is extremely useful and will help them stay on your brand or make a different decision for themselves.</p><p>For example, your blog content might come out each day with an option to subscribe to your daily blog, but your newsletter might be a weekly publication that wraps up all of the written, social, and audio content from the week.</p><h3>Live Your Brand</h3><p>Finally we come to a rule that neither you or any company can afford to ignore.</p><p>Have you ever seen a speaker get up and do a big presentation and then get off the stage and do a complete 180 when you meet them? You might be thinking “who was that up there and what happened to them when the lights went off?”</p><p>If you are hyper-focused on what you are doing, being consistent and authentic about your story then you are on the fast track to living your brand.</p><p>From the very beginning of TeacherCast, the tagline “A Place for Teachers to Help Other Teachers” has been glued to the top of each and every page, post, and podcast. The website is essentially a culmination of teachers from around the world coming together to share their thoughts, feelings, and expertise with you the content consumer. My goal is to bring as many thought leaders as I can together to create a product that I hope someone enjoys and wants to visit a second time. (This book is no exception to this rule)</p><p>You can’t be the politician who is seen as championing one cause as they turn around and get endorsed by the very companies they just pledged to eliminate on stage. You must live your brand.</p><p>Your audience wants to route for you. They want to see you succeed. They want to know what you are going to be posting next because they want to get to know YOU.</p><p>But before there is an audience to do just this … you first have to define who that audience is!</p><h2>Explore these Resources</h2><ul><li><a href="https://www.teachercast.net/captivate-podcast/attc-ep43-march-round-table-top-branding-strategies/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Everything You Ever Wanted To Know about Professional Branding</a></li><li><a href="https://www.teachercast.net/captivate-podcast/jbs-ep23-the-importance-of-live-streaming-when-building-your-edu-brand-ross-brand/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Importance of Live Streaming Your Content</a></li></ul><h2>Follow our Podcast and Subscribe</h2><ul><li><a href="https://www.teachercast.net/episodes/jeff-bradbury-show/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View All Episodes of the Jeff Bradbury Show</a></li><li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/teachercast-educational-network/id519685828" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a></li><li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7btbAI5CjqBgLhitJLMM8y" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spotify</a></li><li><a href="https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vdGhldGVhY2hlcmNhc3RlZHVjYXRpb25hbG5ldHdvcmsv" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Google Podcasts</a></li><li><a href="https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vdGhldGVhY2hlcmNhc3RlZHVjYXRpb25hbG5ldHdvcmsv" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amazon Music</a></li></ul><h2>Follow our Host</h2><ul><li>Jeff Bradbury | <a href="http://www.twitter.com/jeffbradbury" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@JeffBradbury</a></li><li>TeacherCast | <a href="http://www.twitter.com/teachercast" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@TeacherCast</a></li></ul><h2>Get The Help and Support You Need ...

We would love to feature you on a future episode! Please contact me today.If you are a new listener to TeacherCast, we would love to hear from you. Please visit our Contact Page and let us know how we can help you today.The TeacherCast 90-Day Email Marketing ChallengeAt this moment, I'm guessing you might fit into one of these categories:You have a great idea that you would like to get noticed by the educational communityYou are looking to build a distinguishable brand for yourself to get noticed by edtech companies, professional learning conferences, or perhaps … employers.You are looking to take your current website, blog, podcast, book, and/or social media strategy to the next levelJoin the TeacherCast 90-Day Email Marketing Challenge Today!In this challenge, you are going to learn:How to find and target your Avatar to grow your email list.The importance of having a great looking website and how to build the one that attracts eyes on your brand and grows your email list.How to grow a successful Social Media strategy that gets you noticed and grows your email list.How to create a branded professional slide deck for your next conference that grows your email list.How to fight the war on the inbox and what it means for your unopened emails.How to improve your email open rates so that the work you put into your emails gets noticed clicked on.and much more …Productivity Tips for Building Your EDU BrandCreate a List of Everything That Needs To Be CompletedSo you are interested in being productive this year? One of the best pieces of advice that I give anyone, no matter podcaster, blogger, or coach is to toss the computer aside and take out a simple pencil and paper. Using your elementary tools, write down anything and everything that you need to do and break down each step that is required to complete those steps.Next, determine what can be done in the short term and what needs more breathing room to complete. Once you are organized, you can then move on to the next few items in this blog to help your organization take shape and create action items for each of the tasks.Create a Reasonable Schedule for Your Business and Your FamilyI don't know about you, but I need to revolve TeacherCast around being both a full-time educator and a full-time father and a full-time husband. That doesn't leave much time to do very much these days (or the past 7 years). Trust me, it's easy to try to bite off more than you can in a week and it's easy to try to keep up with others who don't have the same responsibilities that you do.When creating a schedule for your content, don't forget to include time for all of your family responsibilities as well as time for creating your content.Select the Best Tools For Your EDU BrandWhether you are first starting out with a new idea, or have been working on your EDU Brand for several years, a good assessment of the tools and applications you are using is always warranted. When you first start out, it is understandable to look for free tools that you don't need to spend too much time setting up. This gives you the ability to get your brand up and running and quickly in front of your Avatar.However, once you get up and running, and perhaps when money starts coming in, you might want to take a survey of the tools that you are using and ask yourself if you should be upgrading your gear or SAAS systems to help you stay on top of your competition.On TeacherCast, I use a variety of tools to keep all of my shows, blog posts, and clients organized. Last year, I switched my primary cloud storage over to Microsoft 365. Even though I still have the majority of my files in Google Drive, I have come to rely on Microsoft applications such as Teams, Planner, and Stream to keep everything organized.Create an Automation ProcessThink of something that you love to do. Now think of yourself doing everything else in the world that is somehow stopping you from doing that one thing. These are the items in your life that need an automation process.Everything from emails to contact and bookmark syncing to newsletter writing should somehow be automated. These things take up a ton of time each week and it's important to find a way to spend more time doing what is profitable for your EDU Brand and spend less time doing what you don't need to be spending your time on.A good example of this is simple, yet professional email replies. Both Outlook and Gmail have the ability to create a series of Canned Responses that you can quickly turn to when replying to cold emails.Develop Templates Wherever PossibleAs stated earlier, I moved the majority of TeacherCast over to Microsoft 365, but there is one small, yet important piece of TeacherCast that is still in G-Suite. A few years ago, I created a series of templates for all of my podcast show notes. This system is one that I intend to stick with this year as it not only helps me to quickly create show notes but share content with my guests for simple show production.But show notes isn't the only place where I have created templates. Using Microsoft Planner, I have developed a series of templates for helping me keep track of where I am in my blog and video creation process.When in Doubt ... Phone a FriendLastly, if you are a content creator, you need someone on your side to bounce ideas off of. A good BFF or PLN is an invaluable resource to have. I began building my PLN on Twitter almost 10 years ago and it has since grown to include several Facebook Groups, Voxer, and the occasional LinkedIn conversation.Let's face it, we all have great ideas, but a true ally in the content creation process can turn a good idea into a great one, or prevent you from spending too much time going down a road that might not be the best one for you.Follow our Podcast and SubscribeView All EpisodesApple PodcastsFollow our HostJeff Bradbury | @JeffBradburyTeacherCast | @TeacherCastExplore these ResourcesBlog: My 6 Best Reasons to Start a Blog or PodcastBlog: 6 Productivity Tips to Help You Build Your EDU BrandVideo: A Teachers Guide to StreamYard Video StreamingJoin our PLNAre you enjoying the TeacherCast Network, please share your thoughts with the world by commenting on Apple Podcasts today?

The Three Most Important Reasons To Start A Personal Or Professional EDU Brand

Are you looking to grow your platform but not sure where to start?  In this episode of the Jeff Bradbury Show, we are going be taking a look at 5 Rules of Personal and Professional Branding.If you are a new listener to TeacherCast, we would love to hear from you. Please visit our Contact Page and let us know how we can help you today!The TeacherCast 90-Day Email Marketing ChallengeAt this moment, I'm guessing you might fit into one of these categories:You have a great idea that you would like to get noticed by the educational communityYou are looking to build a distinguishable brand for yourself to get noticed by edtech companies, professional learning conferences, or perhaps … employers.You are looking to take your current website, blog, podcast, book, and/or social media strategy to the next levelJoin the TeacherCast 90-Day Email Marketing Challenge Today!In this challenge, you are going to learn:How to find and target your Avatar to grow your email list.The importance of having a great looking website and how to build the one that attracts eyes on your brand and grows your email list.How to grow a successful Social Media strategy that gets you noticed and grows your email list.How to create a branded professional slide deck for your next conference that grows your email list.How to fight the war on the inbox and what it means for your unopened emails.How to improve your email open rates so that the work you put into your emails gets noticed clicked on.and much more …5 Rules of Personal and Professional BrandingBe Hyper FocusedWhen you are trying to create something that you want people to remember you for, it’s critical that you stay hyper-focused. This will help you not only stay on brand but keep you focused on hitting your target avatar.If you create content in multiple content streams it gets messy and tends to confuse your audience who will eventually grow to expect a certain type of content from you each week.For example, if you are used to writing long-form content then it’s best to keep that format. Suddenly switching to short-form content might turn off some of your long-time supporters.Be AuthenticOne of the biggest lessons that anyone can learn early on in their brands is the ability to become vulnerable and authentic with their audience. It is extremely difficult to gain a subscriber, attract a podcast listener, or entice a company to work with you. On the other hand, it’s very easy to Have a StoryAudiences connect to people, not to content. If you create a great blog post or write a good book, you may get several people checking it out, but once they get what they need, they will eventually bounce and might never come back. However, if you can find a way to tell your story through your content your audience will be able to connect not with just what they are trying to consume, but with YOU the content creator.Be ConsistentBeing consistent means being consistent everywhere. When you go through the process of creating a brand you take the time to think about your logo, brand colors, fonts, styles, and tone of your product. (and so much more) Consistency is that one thing that makes people remember you.  Think about your favorite soft drink company. What makes them stand out from the pack? Is it the way that their drink tastes? Maybe … but I bet it’s also the way the product looks, or the packaging they use, or the colors and style of their logos.  Consistency is super important when creating your brand kit as well as any content that you produce.  Live Your BrandHave you ever seen a speaker get up and do a big presentation and then get off the stage and do a complete 180 when you meet them?  If you are hyper-focused on what you are doing, being consistent and authentic about your story then you are on the fast track to living your brand.Your audience wants to route for you. They want to see you succeed. They want to know what you are going to be posting next because they want to get to know YOU.  Follow our Podcast and SubscribeView All EpisodesApple PodcastsFollow our HostJeff Bradbury | @JeffBradburyTeacherCast | @TeacherCastJoin our PLNAre you enjoying the TeacherCast Network, please share your thoughts with the world by commenting on Apple Podcasts today?

Then you try to come up with a cost-effective solution to solve that pain point. Then you learn everything about who has those pain points and you do everything that you can to attract them to your solution. Sounds pretty easy???Successful companies identify who their target market is first and THEN create the solutions.Be An Expert In The IndustryHave you ever listened to a speaker or heard a podcast where someone was "trying" to sound like an expert but you had your doubts? In this age of quick and easy Google search, anyone can read a blog post and become an expert ... so what set's you apart?When creating an identifiable EDU Brand, it's important that you also establish your credibility or authority in the subject. This not only helps people identify with you but gives people a reason to follow what you are preaching on your platforms.Create Content Worth Coming Back ToEveryone can create content. But how many times have you clicked on a link and looked at something for 2 seconds only to agree never to visit the website again?No matter the topic, strive to come up with valuable content that answers the questions your avatar has in a way that entices them to either stay on your site searching for more answers or click on the next post or tweet that they see.Create Value Around Your ContentOnce you know what type of content you need to create, you should take the time to ask what you can do to create value for your content.For example, you might create free content in the form of ebooks, or PDF's that can serve as lead-magnets for gaining email subscribers.Leverage Your PLN To Evangelize For YouDo you have a blog or a podcast? Inviting your inner circle to be a guest on your show or guest blog for you is a great way of not just spreading your platform to others, but it gives you the opportunity to have your guests promote your work.Focus Your Message Where Your Avatar Is … Don’t Chase Your Target AudienceOnce you know who your avatar is and what answers they are seeking, the next step is to figure out what pool they are swimming in. It only makes sense to ask your avatar which social media platforms they are on so you can create an online strategy to attract attention to yourself. No need to play on a platform that nobody is swimming in.Spread Your Message Near and FarI have the opportunity to meet and work with amazing edtech companies and I always ask them the same question year after year ... "Are you going to ISTE?"You'd be surprised at how many companies say NO.ISTE is the largest edtech conference in the United States and for some reason, the company doesn't see value in being where all the action is.Very odd... right?If you are looking to Build Your EDU Brand you should be thinking both locally and nationally when it comes to speaking and marketing. Edcamp's are wonderful and they are all over the place these days. Conferences such as ISTE and FETC draw large crowds but you also have amazing conferences such as NCCE and CUE to check out as well.Have a MentorWhat is the number one thing that all successful people have in common?They all have someone they can talk to. This might be a spouse, a best friend, a religious figure, or family member but they all have someone they can speak openly to about their journey.What else do they have in common? They have professional mentors. A Professional mentor is someone who has gone on the journey ahead of you and can help you travel the road that you are. They might give advice. They might let you fall so that you can learn to pick yourself up. No matter what the situation may be ... if you are going to be creating content, you should reach out to someone who has done the deed before and seek advice ... even when you don't think you need it. It's always good to talk and strategize for that all-important gut check.Don’t Be Afraid Of FailureLet's face it ... nothing is perfect. You are going to have moments of success and you are going to have moments of failure. My personal suggestion to you is to embrace them both and celebrate them both. Most important ... LEARN from them both.Remember the definition of the word FAIL: First Attempt In Learning.Include Your FamilyNo EDU Brand is built without the support of the people who love you the most. One of the most difficult parts of Building your EDU Brand is coming to grips with the fact that so much of your energy will be spent working the business instead of cuddling up next to those you care about.When you include those around you into your journey the rewards are even greater than you can ever imagine.Follow our Podcast and SubscribeView All EpisodesApple PodcastsFollow our HostJeff Bradbury | @JeffBradburyTeacherCast | @TeacherCastExplore these ResourcesIn this episode, we mentioned the following resources:Link 1Link 2Link 3Join our PLNAre you enjoying the TeacherCast Network, please share your thoughts with the world by commenting on Apple Podcasts today?

(User Questions)Beginner Question: I have an idea for a brand … now what?Congratulations!, you have an idea for a new podcast, blog, website, or another type of content creating idea. What is the next step? What is the first thing you should do once you have this idea?My personal advice for anyone in this position is to write down everything you are thinking at that moment. This could be done with pencil and paper or perhaps through a digital application such as Evernote, OneNote or even a Google Doc. The most important thing is that you create a place (like a journal) where you can start to put your ideas together.The second thing you should do is find someone you trust and begin having conversations about your idea. You should choose someone who you not only have confidence in, but who you know will give you an honest opinion rather it be positive or negative. This might be a spouse or another family member or even a close friend.After you have flushed out the idea with someone close to you, the next step in the journey should be to seek out someone who might be in a similar field, or even in the same field to talk to them about your ideas and ask advice on their journey. This might help you learn what works and what might not work about your idea.You can certainly take your idea and go into full production mode and it might give you some type of immediate success and gratification, but the best plans always have the best planning.  Step 1: Write down everything you can think of and begin to formulate a clear concept of what you are doing and what you want to doStep 2: Seek advice from your inner circle to get their brutally honest advice on if you are on the right track.Step 3: Seek experts in the field or others in the field you are looking to jump into and ask if they might be able to give you some insights into their journey so you don’t replicate the same mistakes they did.Newbie Question: How to take and receive advice from a mentor even if it might sting a little?Have you ever been really excited about something and when you finally found the courage to sit down and share it with someone their reaction wasn’t exactly warm and fuzzy?Did it make you get angry and frustrated, or did you take a moment to listen and learn why they are giving you the advice that they feel is right for the conversation?Sometimes when we are struck by creative lightning and have taken the time to plan out everything about our new idea we sometimes forget to step back and look at both the micro and macro.Advanced Question: How do you know your email marketing is working?Are you in the middle of reevaluating your current email marketing strategies? Do you send out emails and nobody opens them? Or do you send out a ton of emails with nobody returning any love by signing up for your online courses?Today we discuss:What do you do?How do you know if “it” is working in your favor or not?How do you get help with your Email Marketing goalsFollow our Podcast and SubscribeView All EpisodesApple PodcastsFollow our HostJeff Bradbury | @JeffBradburyTeacherCast | @TeacherCastExplore these ResourcesIn this episode, we mentioned the following resources:Build Your EDU BrandCheck Out The Apps That Make TeacherCastJoin our PLNAre you enjoying the TeacherCast Network, please share your thoughts with the world by commenting on Apple Podcasts today?

What is the first thing you should do once you have this idea?</p><p>My personal advice for anyone in this position is to write down everything you are thinking at that moment. This could be done with pencil and paper or perhaps through a digital application such as Evernote, OneNote or even a Google Doc. The most important thing is that you create a place (like a journal) where you can start to put your ideas together.</p><p>The second thing you should do is find someone you trust and begin having conversations about your idea. You should choose someone who you not only have confidence in, but who you know will give you an honest opinion rather it be positive or negative. This might be a spouse or another family member or even a close friend.</p><p>After you have flushed out the idea with someone close to you, the next step in the journey should be to seek out someone who might be in a similar field, or even in the same field to talk to them about your ideas and ask advice on their journey. This might help you learn what works and what might not work about your idea.</p><p>You can certainly take your idea and go into full production mode and it might give you some type of immediate success and gratification, but the best plans always have the best planning.  </p><ul><li><strong>Step 1:</strong> Write down everything you can think of and begin to formulate a clear concept of what you are doing and what you want to do</li><li><strong>Step 2: </strong>Seek advice from your inner circle to get their brutally honest advice on if you are on the right track.</li><li><strong>Step 3:</strong> Seek experts in the field or others in the field you are looking to jump into and ask if they might be able to give you some insights into their journey so you don’t replicate the same mistakes they did.</li></ul><h3><strong>Newbie Question: </strong>How to take and receive advice from a mentor even if it might sting a little?</h3><p>Have you ever been really excited about something and when you finally found the courage to sit down and share it with someone their reaction wasn’t exactly warm and fuzzy?</p><p>Did it make you get angry and frustrated, or did you take a moment to listen and learn why they are giving you the advice that they feel is right for the conversation?</p><p>Sometimes when we are struck by creative lightning and have taken the time to plan out everything about our new idea we sometimes forget to step back and look at both the micro and macro.</p><h3><strong>Advanced Question: </strong>How do you know your email marketing is working?</h3><p>Are you in the middle of reevaluating your current email marketing strategies? Do you send out emails and nobody opens them? Or do you send out a ton of emails with nobody returning any love by signing up for your online courses?</p><p>Today we discuss:</p><ul><li>What do you do?</li><li>How do you know if “it” is working in your favor or not?</li><li>How do you get help with your Email Marketing goals</li></ul><h2>Follow our Podcast and Subscribe</h2><ul><li><a href="https://www.teachercast.net/episodes/teachercast-podcast/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View All Episodes</a></li><li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/teachercast-educational-network/id519685828" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a></li></ul><h2>Follow our Host</h2><ul><li>Jeff Bradbury | <a href="http://www.twitter.com/jeffbradbury" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@JeffBradbury</a></li><li>TeacherCast | <a href="http://www.twitter.com/teachercast" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@TeacherCast</a></li></ul><h2>Explore these Resources</h2><p>In this episode, we mentioned the following resources:</p><ul><li><a href="http://www.BuildYourEDUBrand.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Build Your EDU Brand</a></li><li><a href="https://www.teachercast.net/build-your-edu-brand/favorite-apps-and-resources-for-building-a-brand/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Check Out The Apps That Make TeacherCast</a></li></ul><h2>Join our PLN</h2><p>Are you enjoying the TeacherCast Network, please share your thoughts with the world by <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/teachercast-educational-network/id519685828" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">commenting on Apple Podcasts</a> today?
