Be a positive influencer.

Now is an exciting time for entrepreneurs. There are so many different ways to make money online — to sell your passion, your voice, or your product, and get yourself noticed through the increasing number of social media platforms.

The world has opened up.

Because of the internet, one has the opportunity to be an influencer in their particular niche and make their mark.

Below are ten ways to increase your online presence and bring your joy and business to the online world and make some money.

Claim and master your topic. Be detailed about it; become your audience’s go-to expert. If your vlog or blog is about how to be the best French Bulldog trainer, be the number one expert in French Bulldog training. Claim your topic via YouTube videos, books, e-courses, e-books, podcasts. People pay for perspective — do a deep dive. You can have several topics you create content for, but own each one. Be the master of your subject.

Discover your audience. Know who your audience is, what are their likes, their dislikes, know there problems and ambitions. Speak to their problems. Sell to their aspirations. If you have a blog, a course, or an e-book, sell to your customer’s ambitions. Your loyal tribe — your true fans — will buy what you have to offer if you serve them value, and they consider you an expert in something they need to learn. I rarely pay from subscriptions. But when I needed help with ConvertKit, I signed up for Elizabeth Goddard’s ConvertKit Club monthly subscription. She helped me navigate ConvertKit and taught me how to send out a weekly newsletter.

Define who you are and what your message is. What do you want to show your audience? Get specific about the type of content your audience can rely on from you. Predictability and reliability grow audiences.

Post four times per day. This may seem like a lot. But if you want to get noticed, whether on Medium, Instagram, or YouTube, you need to be seen a lot. The market is saturated with content right now. You need to remind people you are in the game, or your content has to be so incredibly impressive and standout with quality that your audience doesn’t require daily reminders, they will look for you no matter what. Ask yourself, a) What do those four posts a day demonstrate? b) Who do I need to be an example to? c) What do I specifically have to offer? d) What messages do I have? Bring joy. Know what you want to communicate — even if you are selling a product. Serve your message up consistently; if not, your content will feel random to your audience.

Create a solution, a product, or a service. You can build a brand on your voice alone. You can build a brand through stories on Medium; you can create a brand on any or all platforms that work for you. Find one that your specific service, product, or writing works best on and post there consistently.

Every single week create one significant post of value via a video or an online newsletter. Post it across all platforms then link it back to your blog. Write a weekly love letter to your audience. If you want to have influence online, you need “content rhythm.” Content rhythm means the predictable output of your content, and a weekly newsletter is a great way to accomplish this.

Post and promote free content every single day.

Create evergreen campaigns that sell your offers like e-books, books, courses, and products. After you run one campaign, for a determined time, to plug your content, then either change the price or the free bonus with the offer. If you want to make money online, you will need to automate your business so that you don’t need to hustle all the time. Automation is the key to a lifestyle with more free time to do other things than run your online business.

Run ads for scale. You can run ads on Facebook and Instagram to promote your products. Ads are one expense that can make you money. If you are serious about being an online entrepreneur or an entrepreneur offline, you need to spend money to grow your business. Whether that is taking a course to become a better writer or buying ads on Facebook or elsewhere to promote your product.

Get promotional partners. Success is always in the follow-up. Get affiliates who like your product and will recommend it to their audience in exchange for you doing the same in return. If you find an influencer in your arena who likes what you’re doing, see if they will help you promote your product or service by offering it to their larger audience for a percentage of the cost of the product.

Go forth and grow our business.
