with influencers in your industry.

audience in a fraction of the time.

contact them, so it's important to gain their trust,
build a relationship and give favors in return.

others who are looking to feed off of their success.

5. So where should you look for these influencers?
Here are the top social networks to find them.

6. Facebook:
Use the search bar to look up keywords and phrases
relevant to your industry. Once you find pages of
influencers, like the page, then comment on and share
their posts.

If you're in the B2B sector, this is a great place to
locate industry shakers. You can use the search bar to
find people using keywords. This time, you can send a
connection request and then message them directly.

8. Twitter:
You can find more than enough influencers here.
Follow all of their accounts – personal and business.
Make sure to tweet a thank you if they follow you in
return. You can engage with them easily by retweeting
their posts or replying to their tweets.

influencers and sooner or later, you'll have a great
