Influencer Techniques
- Why Influencers Get Attention
Successful influencers have learned how to get people to stop scrolling and pay attention.
- Attention comes before everything else.
- People aren’t on social media looking for advertisements.
- They are looking for something:
- Interesting
- Useful
- Surprising
- Inspirational
- Entertaining
- Relatable
- Influencers have learned how to consistently create content that captures attention.
- You don’t have to become an influencer to use what they’ve learned.
- The same principles can be used to promote your business, products, services, and expertise.
- The Influencer Formula
While successful influencers use many different techniques, much of their success comes down to three basic things.
- Get Attention
- Give people a reason to stop scrolling.
- Ask a question.
- Share an unexpected fact.
- Identify a problem.
- Offer a useful tip.
- Give Value
- Teach something.
- Solve a problem.
- Share an idea.
- Provide useful information.
- Build Connection
- Give people opportunities to become familiar with you and your business.
- Help them know, like, and trust you.
- You don’t have to be funny or famous.
- You simply need to give people a reason to pay attention.
- Consistency Is the Secret
Getting attention once is good. Getting remembered is even better—and that’s where consistency comes in.
- Influencers don’t post only when they have an idea.
- They consistently put content in front of their audience.
- People won’t see every post.
- Some will scroll past.
- Some won’t see it at all.
- But consistent posting increases the chances that people will eventually:
- Stop
- Pay attention
- Remember you
- That’s where Content To Post comes in.
- Instead of starting with a blank screen, you start with content that’s already prepared.
- Customize it for your business.
- Put it together.
- Post it.
- The goal isn’t to become an influencer.
- It’s to borrow what successful influencers have learned:
Stay visible. Stay consistent. Give people a reason to remember you.
