How You Can Become Influential

“Dude you and Ryan inspired me to start posting more, thank you.”

I smiled reading this message, it’s hard to fully understand how much it means to inspire others until you do it.

Most people believe they want a big following, but what they really want is to receive messages like the one above.

It’s far more meaningful, and these are the small things no one talks about.

But messages like these are the reason I smile at the end of the day when my head hits the pillow.

Growing a big audience is validating, but you can have it all.

The followers, the money, and the lifestyle.

It starts with becoming someone people want to follow.

So here’s exactly how to become an influential person:

1) Your passion projects

The first thing that makes you an influential person is what you do.

I don’t mean your job or your way of generating income.

I am talking about your passion projects. (What you would do no matter who was watching, the thing you find real enjoyment from.)

For me, my first real passion project was solving my own problem of having no idea what worked on instagram.

So, Ryan and I started studying content daily. Which we have been doing for the last 2 months and still do to this day.

When we started the project with the corny name (”Viral Video Project”), we realized we needed to not just start posting reels with our new insights, but share the full journey on our stories.

When we shared everything and started seeing some crazy results, guess what happened.

People started to notice.

People started wanting to be us.

I still get messages of people sharing how much Ryan and I have inspired them to take massive action in growing their personal brands.

In our discord community where we share free help and content feedback, we have people taking action and seeing real results.

Someone from the discord just got a video to hit 40k+ views and seeing massive follower growth from it.

So, step one to becoming more influential is taking massive action and solving your own problems.

Here are some examples:

• I’m broke - Start sharing your journey from 0-$10k per month in income.

• I’m fat - Start sharing your journey from fat to fit.

• I’m unhappy - Start sharing your journey from unhappy to finding fulfillment and enjoyment in your life.

The key factor is to share everything on social media, talk about your wins, struggles, lessons, mindset shifts, etc.

You can even start a brand new instagram account with the sole purpose of sharing your journey.

Especially if you are afraid of friends and family seeing what you are posting, start a fresh account.

The first post you make should be sharing your “big goal” or “big dream”.

Then post daily updates until you win.

2) Your story

The second piece to this puzzle is your story, your background, your strengths, and weaknesses.

This is why you do what you do. (I started studying content because I was sick and tired of sucking at it.)

People want to know everything about you, and if you don’t believe me, some of the highest performing posts are peoples personal stories or experiences.

People are naturally curious about other people.

So share everything.

The more you share and expose yourself, the more perfect people will perceive you.

Your story is the sole reason people follow you and not another random person in your space.

Here’s the best way to document everything:

1. Download Notion.

2. Create a new page with the sole purpose of documenting all of your thoughts, lessons, and ideas.

3. Organize those thoughts, then read them to camera, and post them as reels.

This is how you document in the moment, but record everything in one sitting.

3) Your personality

The final step is how you share, your personality.

Similar to your story, this is the nuance of who you are as a person at your core.

Are you:

Funny

Serious

An Over Thinker

A Risk Taker

Charismatic

There is no “right” or “wrong”, just who you are as a person.

People connect with people who are similar to them, so sharing how you share will attract your people.

Your tribe.

Here is the easiest way to be yourself on the internet:

• Practice. A lot. (No way around big action.)

• Talk trash to the camera before you film. (This loosens you up and gets you feeling more natural.)

• Become aware of how you talk to your friends.

• Pretend to be yourself. (Most people don’t know this trick, once you become aware of how you act around your friends, in the same way you can pretend to be someone else, you actually pretend to be yourself.)

When you nail everything above, you will become influential by default.

People will gravitate to you, and this is the basis to building a personal brand and generating a massive income on the internet.

I helped get Ryan from 0-30k followers in 30 days, if you want to have the tools to do the same thing.
