We are fortunate to live in a time where a single touch of a button can project our thoughts to hundreds, thousands, or even millions. Never before in history has there been such an opportunity! In the past, artists and poets often died in obscurity, unable to share their work with the world. But today, we have the chance to connect and communicate! Yet, surprisingly, many still lament that achieving popularity feels unattainable.
All it takes is that one button press—so get ready to embrace it.
Some individuals may post reviews for sponsor gifts, while others share content purely for entertainment. However, if we truly seek to cultivate a lasting audience and engage on a deeper level, we must pause before each post to ask ourselves: “Am I expressing what I genuinely want to convey? Is this relevant to my audience today?”
As leaders, we must consider the nuances that typical bloggers often overlook. There are leaders, and then there are bloggers—and I believe everyone here aspires to be a leader. For instance, consider a Sunday evening: is it really the right time for typical bloggers to dive into philosophical discussions, or should they focus on light entertainment?
I want to emphasize that if you cultivate a sustainable energy presence and a strong personal brand, you can post anything at any time. Your audience will remain loyal and embrace your content wholeheartedly. Personally, I share articles without concern for the day of the week, upcoming holidays, or other trivial considerations. My audience consistently engages with and absorbs the knowledge I provide.
Embrace the power of attraction that comes from being a strong, authentic leader, and prepare to connect with your audience in meaningful ways.
Readers ask:
– Should I create new terms and words for my articles?
– This is a fantastic question! During the writing course, my students invented new words. However, you don’t necessarily need to go that route. You don’t require that technique, to be honest. Instead, focus on using your own original words. This will ensure that your texts stand out from the constant stream of content people see every day on social media.
– Is it necessary to delete old posts on social media? I’m feeling disappointed by them now.
– I wouldn’t recommend deleting old posts. People appreciate seeing your growth and progress over time. They’re on their own journeys and find inspiration in watching you strive for success. Your evolution can motivate and uplift your audience.
– I don’t have a personal brand, and I don’t want to create one.
– The truth is, you already have a personal brand, whether you acknowledge it or not. This realization can be empowering for some and daunting for others. Just remember: you have an image and a presence that people perceive. It’s entirely up to you to either maintain the status quo or take control of how you’re represented. People see you every day—make sure they recognize the leader within you!
– It’s easy for you to say—you have a lot of subscribers. I wish I at least had 1,000.
– Have you heard of Kevin Kelly? He famously stated that you can change the world with just 1,000 true fans. Gaining 1,000 followers isn’t as daunting as it seems. I grew my own following through a simple method: by engaging thoughtfully on the profiles of popular bloggers. Rather than leaving generic comments like "Wow! Cool!" or "Awesome outfit!", I contributed meaningful feedback. Each blogger invites their audience to respond to a question they pose in their posts. By providing detailed, insightful answers, I sparked curiosity—”Who is this person?”—which led them to check out my profile and stick around.
