Growing Your Authority OnlineIn this episode, I talk with Josh Elledge from UpMyInfluence about how to advance in your engineering career by growing your authority online. Josh gives some great tips on how you can build authority and use it to catapult your career forward.

Engineering Quotes:

Growing Your Authority Online

Growing Your Authority Online

Here are some of the key points discussed on growing your authority:

  • It’s not about being the smartest person in the world, it’s about knowing other people and your willingness to teach them. You have to be competent and willing to serve other people to advance in your career.
  • Social media is an easy place for you to start to expand your influence and your mark as an influencer. Starting a Facebook or LinkedIn group around a particular niche, is a really great way to position yourself as a leader of a community. If you are a leader of a community, you are just going to get sought after more.
  • Twitter is an amazing communication tool to reach out to anybody you want on the planet. If you have a decent following on twitter, and if you have good content on twitter, journalists are going to want to engage with you.
  • You cannot over invest in your LinkedIn profile. Spend some time on your bio and include as much detail as possible. Update your profile regularly if your title changes and post regular content. This will  help you in growing your authority online.  This is especially important for engineering professionals.
  • If you can be the “go to person” for a community that is perhaps a little bit outside engineering, then you can get plenty of business from that.
  • If you have a heart for service, you’ll find that growing your authority online will be very easy for you.
  • When you fall in love with serving people and providing value, you will find that your career trajectory is going to take off in a way that will put you in a completely different realm.

In the Take Action Today segment of the show, I will give you a brief, but powerful tip for building authority through your LinkedIn profile.
