Leveraging Influence Online

I know hundreds of people personally and have around 100 email addresses in my newsletter database.

I have over 50 twitter followers.

I have around 200 facebook friends

Out of all those people I reach online, I’d say maybe 10% care, read, follow listen to what I have to say about business and new media marketing.

Good numbers, but limited.  Here’s a great way to increase your exposure and influence to people who care, listen and follow OTHER business experts.

Aaron Parkes from www.fixyourownbusiness.com and I just launched a great initiative that leverages the collective influence from a group of respected experts from different fields.

The Business Advice Panel is a collection of 7 like minded complimenting business experts on the Sunshine Coast who are offering free business advice to those who write in.

I’ll be honest with you, it’s a great idea. Less than a week old and it’s already gaining search enging ranking – and more importantly, it’s leveraging influence from the contributors and building great credibility for everyone involved.

It’s great business practice, great networking and generous.
