Are you a niche influencer ?
In Today’s post we are going to be talking about listening to our audiences and giving them detailed responses.
When we think of an influencer we see some one with authority .
The influencer is that person people gravitate towards for various reasons .
Good influencers understand the importance of getting peoples attention and doing something with it .
Peoples attention spans are short which means you have to do something to arouse them to take interest in you .
Truth of the matter is in order to be a good influencer you have to be a good listener.
Instead of assuming and talking at people talk with them
What I am speaking about is conveying your message to each audience uniquely and tone they understand.
No matter what platform you use your tone and approach is important .
Some people have big misconceptions as to what an influencer really is .
For one you cannot just add to the noise .

Youcarve out a path that sets you apart from the rest.
Good influencers are known for a trade mark . In other words they do things original some if what no one else can do as good .
“you was born original don’t die a copy”
Influence is about listening to the people in the market because it is they who lead change .
On the flipside if you go along and assume you know what people want you aren’t an influencer.
I think sometimes people get their wires crossed and lose focus . The focus should not only to be heard but also to listen .
That can only happen if you listen.
Jeff Bullas is a fan Favorite on socialmed .
The reason why Jeff Bullas has become a fan favorite is because he shows up with solutions consistently.
Influence isn’t about snapping your finger and having people March to your beat .
Good influencers know how to connect and give their audience the feel good vibe .
Without people trusting and believing in you it’s impossible to have the influence.
This is why I dislike when influencers disregard their audiences.
It’s like some of them get cocky and forget who put them where they are .
Don’t ever get carried away because nothing is ever guaranteed.
Do remember that There is always some one working just as hard to take the top spot away from.you .
As a leader your job is to inspire and educate people to do the right thing . On another note some of us might have to redefine our definition of socialmedia influence in order to move forward and be successful .
We are going to go over a few tips and tricks that might help you to exert influence.
Take your time and build credibility
Sometimes you have to move slow before you can go fast . In other words pace yourself and establish yourself as an authority . Do not be online capping like some of the others out here . People will find out about you and expose you .
Show your vulnerabilities
Just because you are the leader doesn’t mean you don’t fall short .You might leave yourself vulnerable in doing so but it helps you build connections.
Don’t attack others
Socialmedia is the place where people post news and it travels faster than lightening.
People will not hesitate to blast you me or anyone else. Customers post reviews both good and bad.
Even People that don’t follow you will find something to say even if it is a rumor or something old .
Be mindful of what you say because you never know when the shoe is going to be on the other foot.
People will turn on you quick. Try not to engage in heated debates because Socialmedia has
Even if you have a small following like myself you still have to be mindful because people will always remember how you made them feel.
Remember you are not the only leader
Every leader has strengths and weaknesses.You will bump into influencers that have different skillsets from you or similar .
You have to get used to others showing up sharing their expertise too .
Don’t be insecure when you see that. Embrace it and see what you can learn .
Do your research so that you can be ready to answer questions. If you don’t know the answer direct the person to someone that does .
Don’t tell them show them
There is no need for you to show up and wave a red flag. An Empty barrel makes the most noise.
I think the most successful influencers show up and deliver.
You can get attention indirectly . Some people try too hard but when they do get it they don’t know what to do with it .
The Size of your following is not as important as the impact you should make in peoples lives .
Let me explain to you how I get peoples attention .
I show up in group settings ask questions and share my expertise . I also have a personal group where I share and engage with others .
Don’t take advantage of people You will find that most of the people following you are curious and some are spammers. In the grand scheme of things people are going to take interest .
Conclusion
A lot of people want to be an influencer because of the accolades that come with being in that position. position.
You have to know how to harness the power of attention.
