Yesterday I talked about 5 steps to increase your influence in your Internet marketing.

Well, today I want to share 5 additional ways that you can use to increase your influence in the online marketing arena.

So let’s get right to it.

1) Go the Extra Mile

Most people today just want to do the minimum or as little as possible to get by.  But who wants to follow someone who does that?

By going the extra mile you will demonstrate to others that you are willing to do what it takes to succeed regardless of how hard it is or if it takes more work.  People will respect that and respond to it by allowing you to lead them. 

 2) Be Known as the “Go To Guy”

The “go-to-guy” is the guy you go to when you need something done and need to know it will get done.  This is precisely who you want to be.

People should know that when they ask someone to do something, they will do it and do it well, and in some cases will even go the extra mile

By being that person, people will begin to depend on you, and then trust you, then respect you, and then listen to what you have to say.  Thus you will gain influence in their lives.

3) Be Generous

Give, give, and give some more.  This means your time, talent, resources, and money.  Don’t be selfish with any of those because people will see if you are.

When you want to give of yourself, people take notice of your giving spirit.  They can tell that you are not all about yourself and that you want to assist others.

You will see, that when you are generous, both those you help, and those that see you doing so will begin to allow you to lead them.

4) Know More Than Others, But Don’t Be a Know-It-All

Everyone should follow somebody who knows more than them, but nobody needs to follow someone who thinks he is always correct.

Make sure that you can teach those that are following you.  This will mean that you needs to continue to learn yourself and pass on your new wisdom and insight to those you lead.  Followers always are looking to learn from their leaders.

Be careful here though and don’t come across like you know everything and that you are always correct.  Be sure to respect and value other thoughts, and when you are wrong, don’t be frightened to say so.

5) Deliver the Goods and Get the Job Done

In the end, people want to see results.  If you say you are going to do something, do it.  Do every part of it.  And then make sure that you deliver extra too.

People are seeking leaders who will actually lead them.  A good sign that leader will do that is if they are always “getting the job done.”  So make sure you are doing so.

Well that is the end of the list on how to gain influence.  I suggest that you put these to practice right away and do not hesitate.  The impact that these will have on your business and in your life will be shocking .

So start using these today and good luck!
