Thought leaders are experts on a specific topic. As a thought leader, you can raise your visibility, promote your brand, engage with consumers and grow sales.
Some ways to become a thought leader:
- Start blogging – Create your own blog or be a guest blogger. Be sure to showcase your brand and expertise, promote your content through social media and regularly update content.
- Get published – Write articles for publications and author books that share new ideas, give advice, and inspire other people. Published content establishes credibility and conveys your brand.
- Associate with influencers – Connect with others that have established relationships with their audience. Follow them on social media and comment on their posts. Influencers present new channels to promote and position yourself.
- Leverage content marketing – Use content to inform, educate, answer questions and address problems. A variety of formats, like infographics, white papers, webinars, videos and how-to guides, can build trust and broaden your reach.
- Engage on social media – A presence on social media platforms allows for interaction with more people. Share relevant articles and insight, and create posts for visibility and increase followers.
