One of the best ways to make more money in your career is to brand yourself as a thought leader. So here's how you're gonna gaslight everybody around you into thinking that you're a thought leader. Okay, so the next conference you go to, you're gonna take a photo on the stage. I don't care if you actually spoke at the conference or not. You're gonna take a photo, you're gonna make that your LinkedIn header, and people are immediately gonna assume you're a speaker, thus a thought leader. Next, get yourself on some podcasts. Just find the most niche, smallest, obscure podcasts in your area of expertise. They're probably begging for guests. Go on the podcast and make a really big deal about it on LinkedIn. Next, use a tool like Quoted in order to get press opportunities. It's basically a tool where they look for people to be featured in like Forbes and Business Insider. And by the way, I was featured in all these major publications before I even had followers. It's not that hard. Next, you're gonna make a paid one-on-one consulting hour link for like 500 bucks for an hour. Use Calendly to do this. This is just gonna signal that you respect your time and that you have a respectable hourly rate. Lastly, you're gonna make some sort of digital product. This could be a ebook, a guide, this could be a worksheet, and you have a digital product that immediately signals you as a thought leader because you are teaching others. Also, just make sure you're posting on LinkedIn. Post on LinkedIn at least once per week. That's very important. That's immediately gonna make you look like a thought leader. Okay, love y'all, bye.
