Events
you should keep an eye out for any competitions your industry leaders may be running. Last year, I entered a blogging competition run by Decorex, one of the UK premier industry interior design events. I was one of the runners up, which in itself I was very pleased with. I decided to take this further by following and conversing with @ Decorex and staying in contact with their social media team. This year I was chosen as one of the Decorex Top 100 interior design Twitter influencers. I was also asked to guest blog for them on a number of occasions. From
this, I have seen a significant increase in Twitter followers, gaining 100’s of new followers during the Decorex campaign.
So here are three golden rules if you want to get “in front” of your industry idols:
1. Be worth talking to on Twitter. Post relevant industry content, make intelligent comments, and talk to your followers.
2. Make yourself available. Be on the 17 entrepreneurcountry
social media channels your industry leaders are on and actively use them. Keep your profile open, and clearly identified as you (e.g. by using a picture of yourself as your Twitter avatar—not your logo).
3. Talk back to people who talk to you, because you never know who they are. Apart from being good manners, if someone tweets you, you should always get back to them, because you don’t know who they are, or who else might be watching!
