Are you struggling with building fans for your business? Then this episode is for you.

David Meerman Scott joins me on the show to teach us how we can make our fan base by bringing our passion into a business.

David shares an example of how a dentist was struggling to build a fan base for his dentistry practice. David asked him about his passion. He said he loved being on the skateboard. David advised him to bring skateboarding to his business. Six months down the line, he called David to say the idea worked.

The dentist introduced skateboarding in his practice. Also, he would post images of himself skating on his website and Instagram. His fans increased tremendously.

Equally, when we bring our passion to our businesses, we attract more people to be our fans.

How to build fans as an entrepreneur

Number one, what is the medium that you’re most comfortable in? Because some people may not want to do videos like us. So, what are you most comfortable doing?

Number two, bring out your passion when you do things you are comfortable with.

David’s inner superpower

David believes he has an uncanny ability to see patterns in the universe that other people don’t see before other people see him.

He can articulate those patterns in a way. Typically, in the form of a book ahead of the curve and what people are talking about.
