๐๐ฐ ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ญ๐ญ ๐ช๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง๐ง? Really, you should ask yourself, but from where Iโm sitting hereโs my take:
๐๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐/๐ท๐๐๐/๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐. You need to have a strong voice in your niche. You need to do all the things required to build up your popularity
๐๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ . Itโs critical to have a great brand (which should be considered personal brand) and make sure it permeates everything you do.
๐๐ด๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐. Everything is built on the concept of connections and friends. It succeeds because it encourages and rewards those who have conversations with others.
๐๐ด๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. Your media empire will die on the table if you canโt monetize it.
๐๐ณ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. There are certain techniques you can use to market yourself. But the world of marketing is oh-so-much bigger, and once you get into media empire territory
๐๐ญ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. As youโre mastering the online world, look to offline opportunities as the next step. Speaking engagements, coaching and consulting gigs are a great way to branch out, learn about business from a different angle, and develop your reputation.
๐๐ถ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. Youโll need people to help you in those areas where youโre lacking expertise, and also people to take on tasks that you canโt devote your energy to. Youโre a boss now, not a single person working alone.
๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐. Youโve accumulated a certain amount of knowledge to this point. You need to share that knowledge with the outside world (to attract visitors, build reputation, grow karma). You wonโt be an expert overnight, but that doesnโt mean you canโt succeed.
๐๐ฌ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐. Grow slowly, experiment, test your assumptions, tinker and keep growing. You most likely wonโt have a lot of money to support your efforts, so donโt expand like a fiend. But promote the hell out of what youโre doing. Donโt hold back when it comes to tooting your own horn, beating the drum and making noise. Itโs not about being an egomaniac, itโs about maximizing everything youโve learned towards generating tons and tons and tons of buzz.
