The Challenge

This is the challenge Andrew & Pete sent us.

I’m not sure if you can tell, but I recovered this from the bin.

The Tips

#1 Knowledge

✅ DO

Focus on being the best at what you do & learning before announcing yourself as an influencer to the world.

❌ DON’T

Pretend that you know things that you don’t. People are more likely to listen to what you have to say if you are genuine. Learn more about Fake Influencers here.

You’re on a journey to become more influential in your industry, document that journey.

#2 Audience

✅ DO

Go out of your way to help your community (give, give, give).

❌ DON’T

Think you can just buy followers and become influential (it won’t work).

#3 Content

✅ DO

Create content which fulfils your audience’s needs rather than your own. What types of content do they want to consume whilst online?

❌ DON’T

Create content which is purely focused on showing how much of an ‘influencer’ you are. You’ll end up looking like Tai Lopez (people are starting to avoid this kind of shady character).

#4 Speak at Events

✅ DO

Provide value + entertainment + audience participation whilst speaking on stage. Keep the buggers interested!

❌ DON’T

Jump on stage and oversell, bore your audience, talk at the audience for large amounts of time without any activities to break it up.

#5 Networking

✅ DO

Build real relationships by focusing on making friends, not sales (read this article about how not to act when networking).

❌ DON’T

Focus on selling or speak about yourself too much.
