BuzzSumo Subscriber Series #1 Influencer Outreach
● Create Pinterest boards while you research
● Develop webinar slides with an eye toward using them as a slide deck--make two versions, one with more of your comments written out, so that it can be understood by people who are reading it without your comments
● Record webinars, so that they are available as videos
● Write a blog post while your webinar content is still fresh in your mind--add an influencer for an extra boost
● work with other people who will be able to promote your content with their audience
● Remember that people learn very differently. Force yourself to think outside of your comfort zone
