Because of the less serious checklists that are being passed around the web right now, I thought it would be a good time to look at what some of the influencers online are really doing, and how you can join their ranks if you’re so inclined.

I’ve said before that social media requires a time investment, but right now, you can be one of the first influencers and the investment will not be as substantial as it would be if you were trying to break into an already-established (and well-formed) community. At this point, you can be part of it too. I voted accordingly.

In any marketing campaign, the more you see the product, the more likely you are to be influenced by it, even if you don’t want to be. Therefore, instead of using social news outlets, the Blog Profits Blueprint program became successful because multiple influencers promoted it, including Problogger Darren Rowse.
