One of my favorite things about blogging and running a
business on the internet is that you can connect with anyone around the
world at any given time. This holds true for both connecting with your
blog audience, but also with entrepreneurs, mentors, business experts and more.
This is completely different from the traditional world of business
and advertising in that everyone is so willing to share information and
help others around them. Think if you ran a local business and wanted to
get the advice from other competing local businesses in your area —
they would probably laugh in your face and tell you to leave.However, in the world of online business, everyone is going out of their way to not only help those around them, but also willingly sharing their own success, failures and everything in between. That is exactly why the internet has progressed to what it is today.
In the infographic below, which was originally featured on ZacJohnson.com, we get to share 101+ actionable tips from leading experts and authorities on the internet today, with a few of my favorites listed below.

That’s a lot of tips, with lots of familiar faces!I’m finding that while there’s a lot of expert advice out there, it feels overwhelming because you just know you can’t possibly follow every tip. Even following just a few of these, like connecting to influencers, setting concrete goals and just putting yourself out there makes a big difference and puts you light-years ahead of others who don’t bother to read up on expert advice.
I’m a freelance writer, and I create blogs for my business clients to help them establish relationships with their customers and get more visible. Not only do I have to promote my own services, I help my clients promote theirs so my writing helps them reach their goals. It’s so important to demonstrate value first – in great blog posts and conversations with others – that’s how you create the influence you need to get ahead.
