No time to create content? Here’s an idea for creating quick videos on Youtube using Snapchat.
I’m sure you already know that I’m very active on social media. Nonetheless, I’m always looking for ways to save time.
I started creating short stories on Snapchat. I would save each one on my phone and then use iMovie app to merge all of them to create a single video.
I upload that video onto my Alaa Hassan’s Youtube Channel.
Try it!
In 2016, I decided to step up my game on Medium.com with a new strategy to help boost my personal brand. I want to start using as my eCommerce Diary where I share 3 things I did that day related to eCommerce.

In the last hour, I decided to create a simple logo for my personal brand using Pixlr.com (free). You can also use Canva.com
(K)eep (I)t (S)imple (S)tupid.

Before you can establish your personal brand, you need to discover yourself. Know your strengths, weaknesses, passions and much more. It will help you differentiate yourself from people around you.
After a tribe member commented in our Facebook group wondering what is the importance of having and maintaining a personal brand, I decided to create this short video.
It’s very important to first understand the true meaning of personal branding.
It’s not about how many likes your Facebook page has, how many followers you have on Twitter or Instagram, the number of connections on Linkedin or the number of visitors you get on your blog.
Personal branding is 1. the first thing that comes to mind about who you are when your name is mentioned and 2. what impact you have on those who know about you.
If I was to give one major piece of advice when it comes to building your personal brand is:
Build your email list from day 1
Nowadays, it’s a lot easier to build a list of email subscribers. There’s little investment needed from your part other than your time in setting up the list and the email template (message).
My favorite tool is Mailchimp.com
I currently use it for passionTribe.com, AlaaHassan.com and eCommerceTrainingAcademy.com
For each website, I have setup 3 main lists:
I’ve setup some automation as well when people download my guides. It’s a great way of keeping the conversation going without having to email them one by one. I get to learn more about my subscribers such as who they are, where they’re from and what are their current struggles.
Try out Mailchimp.com and see how it can help you grow your email marketing campaigns.
