RESEARCH THE MARKET When you start a blog make sure that you research your niche and have an original position to take just the same way when you start a business. When you start a blog, you need to have something new to say to those who are eventually going to follow you, which WKH\ FDQ¡W Ă&#x20AC;QG DQ\ZKHUH HOVH ,I \RXU 22 CO-EDS SEPTEMBER 2016

selling point is your unique perspective, be prepared for it to take some time to demonstrate that as a value. You should also be able to articulate the blogs that your customers will be reading and how they are different from each other and how your blog will be differentiated from them.

DECIDE WHAT YOUR BLOGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S JOB IS What is your blog going to do?

Just like any other piece of content on the web, it needs to have a clear purpose that informs what you choose to post and share. Ask yourself why you want to start a blog; this is where it all begins. When a blog is being used to build a personal brand, its job is D OLWWOH PRUH Ă XLG 8VXDOO\ \RX ZLOO be presenting an idealized version

of yourself to the world. You will use your blog to talk about the WKLQJV \RX¡UH WU\LQJ WR LQà XHQFH Someone promoting a lifestyle brand might share their favorite fashion items and stories from the most recent round of designer shows, while someone who is building a career as a life coach might share organizational tips and their favorite planners.

BUILD UP CONTENT BEFORE YOU PROMOTE Creating a new blog is exciting, and you may want to promote it the very second you have posted anything.

Resist the temptation. At a bare minimum, you should have a solid SDJH DQG IRXU RU Ă&#x20AC;YH SRVWV LQ SODFH before you start sharing links and encouraging your friends and family to like your page because you are competing with everything else on the LQWHUQHW IRU \RXU FXVWRPHUV¡ DWWHQWLRQ ,I \RX ZDQW WR PDNH DQ LPSDFW RQ their awareness, you need to have enough content available for them to look through and understand who you DUH $ VLQJOH EORJ SRVW LVQ¡W HQRXJK WR make an impression.

PLAN POSTS AHEAD OF TIME :KHQ \RX¡UH GHFLGLQJ ZKDW \RXU EORJ¡V MRE is, brainstorm different topics that you want to talk about. Determine how often you want to post. Once a week is considered a bare minimum, and more than once a day generally is overkill. Once you know how RIWHQ \RX¡UH JRLQJ WR SRVW VWDUW EXLOGLQJ yourself an editorial calendar. Some blogging tools offer plug-in that can help with this, but many people use either a paper or digital calendar. Digital is particularly helpful because you can use

the â&#x20AC;&#x153;notesâ&#x20AC;? section of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;eventâ&#x20AC;? entry to add links to thinks you want to talk about or images you plan on using. You can also build drafts of future posts and keep a calendar of what you want to talk about when so you know what to expand on and edit. The important thing here is that you should not get caught without anything to say. By building your blog out instead RI ZDLWLQJ IRU LQVSLUDWLRQ WR VWULNH \RX¡UH building good habits that will help you successfully maintain your blog over time.

HAVE A COMMENT SECTION OR NOT? A comment section used to be an absolute given, but in recent years, many popular blogs have chosen to shut down their comments sections, citing abuse and harassment occurring.

The culture and values of this university are about continual improvement, hard work, and performance. The only way to progress is that we are all on the same page, share the same ambitions and aspirations.

However, my advice to the young people would be that LW¡V QRW DOZD\V D EDG WKLQJ WR QRW DFKLHYH \RXU WDUJHWV DQG GRQ¡W EH GLVKHDUWHQHG , DP a scientist and I have failed at most of my major experiments which is normal for most VFLHQWLVWV VR EH SDWLHQW DQG GRQ¡W OHW WKH frustration of failure get to you. Most of the famous and innovative people in the world failed many times over, like Steve Jobs who created Apple or Bill Gates who created Microsoft, if you look at their careers they have had many failures.

What inspires you to do a great job on an everyday basis?

(YHU\ GD\ LV D FKDOOHQJH DQG , GRQ¡W NQRZ what I will face when I come in because of the nature of this profession, but the part about coming to the university and making a change for the better of the country by educating the youth and next generation inspires me to do a great job on a daily basis.

Why did you choose this SURIHVVLRQ Ă&#x20AC;HOG DQG KRZ ZLOO \RXU past experiences strengthen this academic department?

This university is diverse in terms or faculty and students so I get to interact with new

people every day. Managing everything and making sure that we doing something great every day is of a great importance. The world gets more digital day by day and we need to VWD\ XS WR GDWH WR HQVXUH WKDW VWXGHQWV DUH well taught and they are well versed with the competitive market outside and will know how to handle things in both life and career once they graduate. As a former Vice- President of Arabian Gulf University gives me a strong background on how to tackle key academic issues and with my science background, plus my time as General Secretary of the Higher education council gives me a deep understanding of labor market trends, key graduate skills requirements and an overall understanding of global higher education.

Many challenges exist, but my experience puts me in a good place to deal with them and to move UOB ahead.

Is there a message you have for students hoping to enroll in UOB? Enjoy the experience, work hard and be committed to your learning.

What is one piece of advice you would give to the graduating class of 2016?

No matter what path of life you are at, selflearning is really important so my advice would be to never stop learning it will take you places. Take advantage of training RSSRUWXQLWLHV DQG RQOLQH OHDUQLQJ GRQ¡W VWRS

How would you ensure that the students reach a higher level of success and what sets UOB apart from other universities?

The university is committed to ensuring that programs are aligned with labor market needs of the region, especially with the changing economy and the impact of technology.

Tell us more about your new music video?

The music video 'Criminal' is one of 11 songs from the upcoming mixtape 'Countless Blessings'.'Criminal' is a collaborative project, the song is written and performed by me, music is produced by Tunna from the U.S, recorded and mixed by cigAwet Productions and mastered in the plug studios in Canada.

This underground Hip Hop song speaks about the rap game and how it evolved from the purest form of meaningful poetry and truth of VXSHUĂ&#x20AC;FLDO FRPPHUFLDO VWHUHRW\SHV 5DS LV DOO about metaphors and subliminal messages, thus a musical 'criminal' was needed to set the record straight and kill the fake hype!

The video has earned worldwide recognition and generated 46k views in 6 days. It's a project I'm very proud of. The incredible team behind this project is a one of a kind and I wouldn't have done it without them.

What is your typical process for creating music?

There is no"typical" process for creating music. It's a matter of inspiration that could strike anytime and anywhere. I could get inspired on a plane, record voice notes in the car or write a song in the studio, same goes with producing music. As a songwriter, rapper and music producer these 3 alter egos come forward separately or simultaneously, all I know is that I need to be ready!

What has the greatest experience you have had so far and what would you learn from it?

Also performing live with all sorts of famous people in the audience at a VIP event, felt like the Grammy's to me.

PokĂŠmon is, simply put, a phenomenon that began as an RPG for Game Boy 20 years ago. PokĂŠmon (short for pocket monster) is a little animation creature and there are many types. It's best to think of them like different species and breeds of animals.

When someone is catching PokĂŠmon in PokĂŠmon Go, the general aim is to get as many different kinds as possible. The most well-known PokĂŠmon is Pikachu, who you will surely recognize regardless of how out-ofthe-loop you are.
