1. Shifting your interests online: The first part involves finding something that you’re passionate about. What do you already like to do? What are your hobbies? What skills and talents do you have? What do you do for fun? What activities have you found yourself wasting entire days on? What topics can you just never stop researching and talking about? Your passion is the thing you will need for fuel.
2. Find your Platform: Once you have landed on your passion, it is time to choose the platform that will allow you to share your passion with the world.

You’ll need to target each platform to build credibility and develop an audience with similar characteristics.
3. Deliver the goods: Produce high-quality content on a consistent basis. If you are blogging, write articles that provide quality content and create links to authoritative sites. If you are making videos, film guides, reviews or tutorials that demonstrate your expertise on the topic at hand. If you are designing products, make them useful, practical, aesthetically pleasing or provide greater value than your competitor’s items. In all things, aim to meet or exceed your audience’s expectations. Engage with them widely, respond to comments and email enquiries, cultivate a community of enthusiasts around your passion.
