The 3-Step Framework

Now that you've seen what's possible, let's break down the three steps to becoming the go-to person in your industry.

Step 1: Become valuable enough that people want to pay you

You have to know your stuff. You need to be so good that people are willing to pay for your expertise. This could take years, but it's the foundation for everything that follows.

Step 2: Grow an audience by sharing your secrets via video

The key is to make your content binge-worthy. Science shows people need approximately 11 meaningful interactions with a brand before making a purchase. So give them tons of value, for free.

Step 3: Create products that turn your fans into customers

Once you've built trust and provided tons of free value, the next step is to offer paid products that help people apply what they've learned from you. This can be digital products or high-ticket items that require your time.

How I'm Personally Applying This Framework

I'm utilizing this framework in my journey to become the go-to person for personal branding. I'm working hard to excel in client servicing, I'm continually sharing my best free insights on YouTube and here on Substack, and I'm funneling this trust towards my one-on-one consulting service, which you can apply for here.

Why You Should Apply This Framework

Regardless of your industry, the potential rewards are massive. For instance, if you're a Control Systems Engineer like my friend Alex, and you've got skills that people are willing to pay for, start sharing those skills, so you can become the go-to person in your industry!

Learning to communicate and educate through video and then monetizing that trust is priceless in today's digital age. The upside is so massive that it makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Conclusion

So that's it—a three-step framework that's as simple to understand as it is challenging to implement. But as the stories of Kevin, Julian, Justin, Peter, and Ben show, the rewards can be astronomical.
