How-To-Attract-Your-Online-Community

 

1. Embrace Your Talent And Authencity

The best traits of experts across industries are universal.

Great experts continue to strengthen and hone their craft.

They become fabulous at something and then either teach others to do what they do using their method.

Or, they do it for them.

Leading experts use what they know to share their insight, commentary, story, and wisdom with others in their unique way.

Who is your absolute favorite expert?

What is it about them that draws you in?

Is it their authentic way of using their talent to understand their ideal customer’s problems and offer real solutions?

Likely, they’ve packaged their offerings in various ways through products, services, events or branded content.

 

2. Find Your Opportunity Gap

Whether you’re in the coaching, wellness, beauty, healthcare, finance, legal, real estate, e-commerce or another industry identify a specific problem that exists in your market that you’re (or will be) the expert at solving.

Once you’re clear on the precise problem you want to be known for solving, create your own methodology for solving it.

To do that, outline and package the steps needed to achieve the solution using your own proprietary system.

Equipped with the unique branded solution you’re offering your market it’s time to communicate.

Yes, it’s time to tell everyone about who you are, what you do, how you do it and who you do it for.

The goal here is to reiterate the problem that you’re solving in your business. 

With clarity on the problem  communicate why your prospects should use you to solve that problem.

Why and how?

In the digital era, every industry is saturated with experts offering a lot of the same solutions packaged different ways.

Consequently, you know your prospects care less about you and more about what you can do for them.

There wish should be your deamnd.

Give them what they want.

They want their problems solved and they want it done by an expert that they can resonate with and trust.
