Lesson Three
With the internet, the easiest way to get yourself out there is to create pathways of your speciality in blogs, on video platforms, podcasts etc.
Then to link these to key organizations and leaders that you want to work with by either asking them to contribute, to partner or to share your work etc.
Engagement is Key!
Becoming an Author free course
Formal studies and short courses are a great way to not only gain knowledge on your speciality, but also to get accreditation and show your command of the subject.
But, additionally, publishing books, building a substantial and respected podcast or social media footprint that people find valuable can escalate your growth !
I recommend that anyone who desires being an author and sought-after researcher or speaker, that they should narrow their focus to begin with.
Often, people coming into a field are simply too broad and not focused enough. Think of yourself as a Professor – what do you teach, who comes to your class, what do your colleagues know you for and why are people paying for your insights.
Yes, you may need to be broad to attract income in the early stages, but ultimately, going deeper and not broader will help you develop a clear voice that you can feel confident with, but also that you can develop unique ideas that are different from anyone else out there.
