1 Define your niche

The first step to becoming a thought leader is to identify your niche, or the specific area of expertise that you want to focus on and share with your audience. Your niche should be something that you are passionate about, knowledgeable about, and able to offer unique insights or solutions on. It should also be relevant to the current trends, challenges, and opportunities in your field or industry. By defining your niche, you will be able to establish your credibility, differentiate yourself from others, and attract the right followers.

Don't overdo it. Don't overthink it. Just start sharing what you know of a combination of things. Chances are many would benefit from some knowledge on the same combination of skills. As you create more and more , there will emerge a pattern automatically. And that shapes your niche.

2 Create valuable content

The second step to becoming a thought leader is to create valuable content that showcases your expertise, opinions, and perspectives on your niche. Content can take many forms, such as blog posts, podcasts, videos, ebooks, webinars, or social media posts. The key is to produce content that is original, engaging, and useful for your audience. You should also aim to provide fresh, timely, and actionable information that can help your audience solve their problems, learn new skills, or achieve their goals. By creating valuable content, you will be able to demonstrate your authority, build trust, and generate interest.

Trust me when I say all the content is already out there. But you bring a new perspective to the already existing content - your perspective. So, even if it feels that someone already shed some light on a topic elsewhere, you share your perspective.

3 Distribute your content

The third step to becoming a thought leader is to distribute your content to the right platforms and channels where your audience can find and consume it. Depending on your niche and goals, you may choose to use your own website, blog, or email list, or leverage external platforms, such as social media, online forums, guest blogs, or podcasts. The key is to optimize your content for each platform and channel, using appropriate formats, keywords, hashtags, images, and links. You should also monitor and analyze the performance of your content, such as views, shares, comments, or clicks, and use the feedback to improve your future content.

4 Engage with your audience

The fourth step to becoming a thought leader is to engage with your audience, or the people who consume, follow, or interact with your content. Engagement can take many forms, such as responding to comments, answering questions, asking for feedback, joining discussions, or hosting live events. The key is to be authentic, respectful, and helpful, and to show that you care about your audience and their needs. By engaging with your audience, you will be able to build rapport, loyalty, and community.

There isn't anything completely new. What makes you a thought leader is the fresh perspective that you bring to an already existing subject matter. It takes on your own voice, as you share your perspective and experience(s)in your own unique way.

5 Network with other thought leaders

The fifth step to becoming a thought leader is to network with other thought leaders, or the people who are already recognized and respected as experts in your field or industry. Networking can take many forms, such as following, commenting, sharing, collaborating, or interviewing. The key is to be genuine, supportive, and curious, and to offer value and appreciation. By networking with other thought leaders, you will be able to expand your reach, learn from their experiences, and create opportunities for partnerships or referrals.

There’s a halo effect that comes from hanging around with people with a positive reputation. Being in the company of other thought leaders can send the message that you too, are a thought leader and someone worth noting. Rather than approaching this technique solely for reputation benefits, approach your networking with authenticity and intention. You’ll also need to offer value to the person with whom you are connecting. Focus on mutual benefit. Offer yourself as a resource, ask for help, and support your contacts. In return, they will support, endorse, refer, and inform you. If strategically managed, your network can become a valuable part of your thought leadership, empowering you to enhance your reputation and advance your career.

I call this thought leadership by association. Leveraging the resonance of other thought leader can be great for positioning. As the old saying goes “birds of a feather…” While this is great, I advise that this also do strategically. There should be an actual connection between you and other thought leaders that align with your ideology.

6 Keep learning and growing

The sixth and final step to becoming a thought leader is to keep learning and growing, or to continuously update and improve your knowledge, skills, and content. The world is constantly changing, and so are the needs and expectations of your audience and industry. Therefore, you should always be on the lookout for new trends, ideas, challenges, or solutions that can help you stay relevant, innovative, and ahead of the curve. You should also seek feedback, criticism, and advice from your audience, peers, mentors, or coaches, and use them to refine your niche, content, and strategies. By keeping learning and growing, you will be able to maintain your thought leadership status and reputation.

To really make your mark as a thought leader, you've got to live by the ABL principle - Always Be Learning. The world doesn't pause, and neither should our thirst for knowledge. Stagnation? That's the enemy. By committing to ABL, we're not just staying relevant; we're setting the pace and inspiring others. Remember, it's not just about leading; it's about leading with value and growth at the forefront of your content . Dive deep, always be curious, and let your search for knowledge be your guiding star.

Don’t be afraid to go left if the crowd goes right. Driving thought leadership is being a voice not an echo. It is about not being afraid to go contrary to public opinion in a constructive and empathetic manner. In the end, what thought are you leading? You might just be speaking the mind of the “silent majority”. This way, you create your own community that connects with your philosophy.
