How do we level up our influence?
Exploring the valuable skills we each have helps a lot because we can teach what we know and immediately begin helping others. My business consistently struggled online until I started focusing on creating videos showing solutions to the most challenging problems I had faced in my life from being an entrepreneur with no startup capital to my personal struggles with alcoholism and video games. If we want to grow our powers of persuasion, the secret is to start with teaching because all of us have solved problems that others are still struggling with.
Where do we discover people?
- Word of mouth recommendations from friends and followers. I discovered Steem via @robertgenito who invited me to sign up and promised I would thank him later.
- Searching for help with problems. When I grew frustrated with my lighting setup recently, I did a lot of Goolging and shopping to help me find the answer. In the process I discovered many new sellers and blogs.
- Advertising. Most of our wants and desires are nearly completely programmed by companies spending money to influence us into wanting their products.
Teaching opens all possibilities!
As we share what we know how to do and love doing, we open ourselves to being involved in all three of the primary discovery methods. In 2013, I uploaded a Facebook advertising tutorial on YouTube which brought in thousands of viewers searching for help with Facebook ads. Those viewers made word of mouth recommendations which then triggered YouTube to show my video in suggested videos (free advertising).
Hear the full story!
Would you watch the video on YouTube to hear the full story because combining the reading with the video is likely to inspire action in giving our best and the unbelievable results that flow from there? I tried to upload it on DTube but it was not working today!
Love,
Jerry Banfield
Everyone wants wealth and success, but very few are willing to work hard to achieve them. By work hard too, I do not mean digging holes.
People need to work hard on developing skills that other people highly value. Become a residential security expert as I have done or a private investigator as just two examples of thousands.
Those things are what I'm passionate about, so that is why I pursued them as skill sets. What are your passions, and what are you doing to improve your knowledge and skills related to them?
Another way to look at it is what I tell my children. I tell them to do what 95% of other people either do not want to do or cannot do. If you stick to something within that rare 5%, you are almost guaranteed to be successful.
Also, follow my motto, and stop wasting your time in life. My motto is, "Stop playing or watching the part of a hero, and be one instead." In other words, stop being entertained by circuses (TV, games, etc.) and get to work instead.
Time is your most valuable asset. Use it wisely. Stop wasting it!
I also tell my children to learn a STEM profession, a trade, and at least one additional language. That's another easy way to understand the path to success. If you do those things, you are again almost guaranteed to be successful.

Everything you say is agreeable, but I would add that being success oriented in life cannot be the only driver and that by doing that we miss other important steps in our personal development. There has to be a time for doing something that is NOT useful, for staring at the beautiful things in the world, for thinking, for playing an instrument - not just because you're entertaining someone or showing your skills but just because you enjoy it - for learning ancient Greek, time for loosing time, for listening. Don't misunderstand me, I agree with what you wrote, especially, if someone has a dream - and everyone has - we need to stop finding excuses and just pursue it. But sometimes the beauty of being human lies in our capability to just question the skies, and not in giving answers.

Thank you for the uplifting advice based on your experiences online . I have been meaning to watch your YouTube videos but kept putting them off because I've been too busy but I am glad I started with this one as it has been very motivational and more than anything, convincing. Five years ago I wanted to start a business online. I was inspired by many of the courses that I had taken online for free. I had my own ideas on how I was going to deliver this courses but this meant that I needed to become more comfortable with different software devices to make them attractive and interactive. Is a perfectionist and as a teacher I wanted to deliver amazing content from the beginning but the time-consuming aspect of learning and focusing so much on the aspects that I lacked such as knowledge of software and web design eventually lead me to never starting the project at all. Today I find myself at the same point as I was five years ago. Unable to give up my desire to deliver the skills and teaching content that I am passionate about, I have ended up in rolling for a Masters program in Teaching. I find myself dealing with the double task of further developing my teaching skills and at the same time wishing to pursue the online project I had in mind. I have been on steemit user now for nearly 3 months but have found it very hard to write about something that is not happening to me at the present moment. In my thirst to write with authenticity, I failed to find a topic to write about and now after watching your video it had finally occurred to me that I should be writing about teaching , that perhaps this is the best platform in which I could deliver the content that I had in mind without the special effects of course. Now it is just a matter of finding the time to create and post . Thank you Jerry for the lightbulb moment and for finally helping me find the focus of what I would like to deliver.

Great post Jerry! I always think of the late, great Jim Rohn when thinking of skills. "What is a skill? Something you can learn. The more skills you learn, the more valuable you become." It as simple as that. To learn a new skill, we have allow ourselves to become uncomfortable in doing something we've never done before, but in the end, we grow immensely and become more valuable.

When we are growing up we are taught that the degree is required to learn and make money and When we enter into the professional life we come to learn that it is the skills that matters the most. Not all universities are excellent or good there are many universities passing the students without any skills. When they start looking for a job, there is nothing for them. So i encourage everyone to learn some skills along with the degrees. Degrees are important but more important are the skills.

Hi Jerry. How do you balance sharing and teaching what you know, with what the theme of your online presence is about? Because, not all of what we know and can teach is worth sharing, or even relevant. What are your thoughts?

I disagree. I think the point of the video was that we each have skills that someone in this world will find worth learning and that the sharing of these skills helps us develop ourselves and influence each other. I think there is a level of interconnectedness that we had never experienced in this world before which we are able to due to the the web and thus not only creates the prospect of a wider audience but provides the opportunity for us to also seek to learn from what others have to offer.

Figuring out what you make the most on is important. If you can sell vegetables directly to people you know, that may be a good profit margin. My guess is that the pigs are not as profitable as you'd like them to be.

Figure how how much feed cost it takes to finish a pig. Subtract that from what you can sell it for. Then divide the "profit" by the estimated hours you put it. My guess is the pigs may be giving you a poor amount for the number of hours you put in.

Eight years ago, that's what I fell into and before I knew it, I had 15 to 20,000 worth of product. I was making real good money at the time. I was a superintendent building Hotels for a living....I had five back surgeries and knew at some point I couldn't do it anymore....I worked from dark to dark in my day job and from 9:00 at night till about 2:00 am trying to learn how to put up a website....Well, I'm back now. With a whole different mind set.....So If I learned anything, it's that you pick one thing and finish it...Do Not.....I repeat! Do not let the next Big Deal from the Guru's pull you from that..All it will do is make you go around and around in circle's never get anywhere and soon broke.....Take it from me, it's not a good thing!

Skills are hard to see when we are the ones who have them. They are usually taken for granted and are seen as obvious.

Jerry, im hearing that DTube is having issues with file sizes (I have not confirmed it myself) If you can't upload, that's a problem. Hope it gets worked out.

Valid points. I think there is something else too though.
We are all experiencing a content shock these days. Just because anyone can teach anything online - the space is cluttered and noisy. And it takes some time to understand who knows his stuff.
I think finding the uniqueness about yourself and presenting things differently will help one stand out and be visible, so at least people notice you and check you out.

This is a method online marketers teach newbies when they first start out they recommend starting a blog and just admitting you dont have a clue what your doing but as you learn and do research write about it and others will learn and thank you for it @jerrybanfield

Another awesome post. I have been struggling myself with what I should focus on for my Steemit adventure and to gain a following. I have always been a writer, but video demand is booming and sometimes we have to break out of our comfort zone to find our paths.

Thanks for this @jerrybanfield. I want you to know that I took your advice as inspiration after watching this post last night. I just posted my first skill-specific tutorial and it flowed out of me way easier than some of my other more general and vague posts did. I would love to know what you or anyone else thinks if you get the chance. https://steemit.com/writing/@benahrens/how-to-write-a-ted-talk-in-the-shower Thanks again! - Ben
