From creating her own brand to becoming a role model for potential bloggers, NABJ MSU chapter welcomed celebrity blogger, theJasmineBRAND to their very first workshop!
The Jasmine Brand’s workshop was very enlightening taking place in a conversational setting that gave everyone an opportunity to get involved. Maintaining an outgoing, bubbly persona, Jasmine engaged her listeners by providing candid advice pertaining to blogging and her life after college. Jasmine expressed her journey from being a fellow Morganite, which she says helped shape her into the icon she is today. Jasmine partakes in her own blog website (thejasminebrand.com) that promotes what’s happening in pop culture along with celebrity interviews she held; in honor of her sites 2 year anniversary Jasmine published the first issue to the Jasmine Brand Magazine as an extension to her brand. Recently, Jasmine received the “Entrepreneur on the Move Award” that acknowledges all the hard work and talent that tie into her success.
Realizing her struggles becoming theJasmineBRAND, Jasmine provided tips to follow when starting your blog career:
• “Brand yourself” (Be an expert about around your craft and study it.)
• Your Name (nothing too hard for people to understand)
• Secure URL (simplicity is key)
• Whatever it is you write about, find your voice.
• “Tunnel Vision” (Don’t worry about the competition.)
• Don’t be afraid of rejection
• Be Confident.
Jasmine encourages everyone to do what makes them happy no matter the process, for “Success occurs when opportunity and preparedness meets.”
