In this post, I break down the process of getting recognized and gaining traction in your chosen field.
Here are the basic steps:
1. Generate quality material
2. Share it with family & friends
3. Take every opportunity you’re offered if you’re not already busy
4. Support your tribe members, even competitors
5. Collaborate
6. Enter competitions
7. Find a mentor
8. Seek features (blogs, news media)
9. Create partnerships: fashion, social groups, charities
10. Seek Corporate sponsors
Notes
– I listed “Generate Quality Material” first because the product or service you’re selling won’t go anywhere if it’s not well-made.
– I’ve deliberately avoided going into too much detail to allow room for your creative thoughts to take you down your own rabbit hole.
