Ways to Empower Influencers Find out what they want. See that they get it.
An offsite conversation will be a much more powerful endorsement than anything you say about yourself
Give them content in their preferred format Embed links to track in context of their conversation Reward what works. Repeat it with the best.
Be open to new or unknown influencers while focusing on the ones with the largest networks
You can’t control people or what they say. You can get more of what you want by helping others, building relationships and gratitude
