Do you know the answers to these important considerations as you think of your tribe:

  • Who are you trying to attract? Influence? Swing into your proverbial court?
  • Once you have identified them, what do you want to do next to make them raging fans?
  • Teach something your readers don’t know that you know and want to share?
  • Having shared that knowledge with them, sway their feelings about a topic and encourage them to think larger, deeper, more clearly?
  • Now urged to think this way, reinforce them to believe this newfound knowledge can be applied, implemented, and shared?
  • Since they now believe it, spur them to act on it, enhance it, make it their own?

The answer to this multifaceted conundrum is to plan, draft a schedule of topics and ideas, introduce them slowly and deliberately yet consistently, and add value to the reader every time they view your work.

Quality always. Let them sip from the fountain of your knowledge daily so they want it more and more.

On LinkedIn I have found subscribers to my blogposts to be part of my fandom, and many others read me regularly on my LinkedIn feed, delivered every business day at 800 am NY time.

I practice, take liberties, add bad puns, choose some more poetic terms, and deliver, what I hope you will agree, is quality. I open my lens and find topics to focus on for others to learn, feel, believe and act upon.

Raving fans? Well, blushingly, their adoration was just served to me by quite a few colleagues in a LinkedIn article.

I intend to feed the fanfare, flame the firewood, and make smoke signals everywhere I can leave them.

Rave on.

To those of you who rave daily, thanks so much, your words and ideas meant the world to me.

If you want to join the company of raving fans, add your comments whenever you find me, not  in emojis please, but in actual words that show you care to invest some time in my thought leadership to attune my ideas to your interests. I welcome this.
