Want Quick Cash? Don't Forget Your Sphere Of Influence!

Shane Natan · 03-28-2009, 08:46 AM

This is really just basic business 101, but sometimes with all of the other fascinating things going on around us, we forget about the most basic fundamentals of things.

Your "sphere of influence" is a term I like to use to describe the people that you know and that you are connected to on a personal level.

For example: The people in your contact list on your mobile phone, your immediate family, your entire family, your friends and their families, your co-workers, their friends and families, etc.

If you offer services or are promoting products -- these are the people that you should be in contact with first.

Especially if you offer services such as web design, SEO, setting up auto-responders, article writing, blog creation, etc. Most likely, someone in your 'sphere of influence' will be in need one of these services. Remember, you can always outsource if you don't have any of the above skills.

If you are promoting a product(s) as an affiliate... Most likely someone in your 'sphere of influence' will be interested in one of the products you are offering (or you can find one).

I have landed some of my biggest deals from people within my sphere of influence -- from huge offline SEO jobs, to small $500 websites.

For those of you saying to yourself "Duh! This is obvious stuff!" it's great that you know your basic business 101.

For those of you who this helps... Your welcome!

Best,
Shane

Ah, yes.

In the olden days, this is how everybody got started in their new careers.

A sphere of influence is something fragile and. like a balloon, it is easily popped if abused.

Good point sir. I concur... And it should be obvious to all that care, respect and honesty is very important when doing business with those within your sphere.

Thanks for the comment Art.

Best,
Shane

Great Point Shane and one everyone should look at! If you want an easy way into the offline niche and you wanna make some good money at the same time then the circle of influence is an awesome place to start!

Thanks GoGetta.

Yes, it can be a career 'rocket launchpad' for so many people... Especially in the offline niche. There's bound to be a person who owns a business and needs help with their online marketing in the majority of peoples' spheres of influence.

Best,
Shane

Good post Shane.

I would also call it, networking.

I spent a number of years as a "loner" online, and did pretty good, but the biggest jump to my business was when I started to network, make contacts and, create my sphere
