Having Online Influence starts with Contributing …
Here are 4 ways to Build A Buzz

 

Listen …
We have never lived in a time, before now, where the power of the pen (or the keypad) has been more mighty than the sword.
To be an online influence… can lead to being a “global thought leader”.
The actions of tens of thousands, if not millions of people can be directed by your passionate leadership.

This is the age of My-Story-Marketing.

 

BLOG … and Develop Your Personal Story

Blogging is a FANTASTIC way to reach thousands of times more people than you ever could with posting articles on Facebook.

When you BLOG on a hosted website that you own, you have complete freedom of expression.
Blogging is your GATEWAY for self-expression to a global audience that can discover your content through search engines world-wide!

Blogging is not only a way of helping you define your personal story, but it is also a very powerful tool for helping you to galvanize your ideas on paper … and directing exactly how you want to shape your future and the positive impact that you want to contribute to the world ….
through your projects.

 

Become An Authority and Provide Solutions

 
Online Influence
 

Pick a topic that interests you, that lots of people need help in …
and BECOME AN AUTHORITY.

There are two key points that I must re-emphasize here.
a – Find a subject that a lot of people are needing help in.
b – You should have an interest in this area also, and are willing to do the work to provide the research and the solutions.

Not only can this be BIG FUN and extremely stimulating …
but it also can provide an almost instant “passport-to-popularity” as you provide not only more insight to the problem through your research, but also by the lives that you will positively impact by giving great guidance towards the “solution”.

Again … Finding a subject that a lot of people are experiencing a challenge in … and providing a path to the solution.

Dear friend, this is where the magic of your creative genius can shine.
This is where the power of your ingenuity can not only raise you in esteem, but become a legacy for those who come behind us.
Collaborate with other like-minded, progressive people … and bring positive change to our world.
That is one the the greatest formulas for building online influence.

 

Meet People who will “syndicate” your story

Want to reach a larger audience faster?

Then from the very beginning, you should partner with other people … online and offline.

Since we’re speaking about “online influence” here, let’s discuss a few ways to make your online content and your online partnerships go viral.

Social bookmarking is a way for you to provide a “reference tag” for your published work on one of the many social sites that other online viewers often go to when they are searching for articles written by people on a related topic.

What’s more important is HOW DO YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION SYNDICATED EASILY?

There are a number of services that, for a small fee, will distribute your published work to ALL 50 of the top social sites that we just mentioned, which will greatly extend the reach of your content.
One popular service is OnlyWire (http://onlywire.com)

Onlywire allows you to register with the top 50 social sites, and with the click of a button, you can publish your article to social sites where people who have an interest in your subject, can quickly share your message with their friends … multiplying your online influence.
The result … your idea can go VIRAL in no time.

There are also online syndication services that you can subscribe to, that allow you to capitalize on the synergy of other bloggers, for syndicating your published work.
TribePro (http://tribepro.com) and Triberr (http://triberr.com) are excellent resources.
These are online services that have developed very efficient systems to allow the communities of writers, novelists, bloggers, journalists, online marketers, and other skilled professionals to post their most recent articles and have those articles “liked, tweeted, commented on and shared through an automated process that syndicates your published works, and get thousands of eyes on your writings each week.

 

Attend Major Conferences for Internet Marketing / Bloggers / Online Syndication

 

If you want to be a skilled automotive mechanic, you’d go to automotive school and start hanging out wtih mechanics.

If you want to be a physician, you’d go to medical school and then take a residency with other seasoned physicians.

If you want to become an online influence, you’ve got to start being in the company of other online influencers.

Attending national (and eventually international) events in the areas of internet marketing, blogging, online syndication, and online video are all awesome ways to spend quality time listening to and sharing conversation with the BEST and the brightest minds online.
There is NO SUBSTITUTE for the experience of being in the company of the very people who are the online innovators and problem solvers of our time.

And guess what … your time spent with online thought leaders, and the ideas that you share with them through conversations, along with photographs that you take with industry leaders, will be the confirmation that your own head needs to confirm YOU as being …
An Emerging Online Influence.
