Mastering Freelancing_ A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Money Online.pdfSmartSkill97
In today's digital age, making money online through freelancing has become increasingly accessible and lucrative. Freelancing offers individuals the freedom to work from anywhere and choose projects that align with their skills and interests. Whether you're a writer, designer, programmer, or marketer, there's a vast array of opportunities awaiting you.
By leveraging platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, or freelancing websites, you can showcase your talents and connect with clients worldwide. This introduction aims to demystify the world of online freelancing, offering insights and guidance on how to kickstart your journey toward financial independence and professional fulfillment.
Managing projects effectively has become essential in every organisation large or small. The uncertainties of the world business economy, rapidly changing technology, and the intensifying focus on sustainability has driven many organisations to develop specific methods for managing projects and to seek highly qualified and competent people to manage those projects. These driving factors require today’s project managers to accept and adapt to change, lead diverse teams, act as ambassadors for their organisations and deal with a multitude of challenging project stakeholders.
It is clear that Project managers are placed in a unique position. They must balance their roles as leader and manager, interface with multiple types of stakeholders, are often the "face" of their organisation to its customers, and must deal with a seemingly unending stream of challenges to be successful. These challenges and the ability to address them require the project manager to maintain awareness of personal brand of and the impact it will have on project assignments, career opportunity, and the willingness of project teams to work for and support the project manager. As the profession of project management evolves and the demand for competent and value driven project managers increases, personal brand and reputation have become major factors in the criteria used to select and assign people to project leadership positions.
Indispensable Factors
The project manager must develop skills and competencies in several areas to be considered for an assign. In addition there are 4 major factors a project manager must address and continue to develop:
Accomplishability: your ability to achieve and deliver valued results.
Value/cost: the value delivered perception relative to the cost.
Supply/Demand: the market dynamics of your position, skills, etc.
Likeability: how others perceive you.
This presentation addresses the importance of the professional project manager in today’s business environment and the need for the project manager to continually enhance existing skills, adapt to a changing environment, and become a “go to” person in the organisation. Emphasis is placed on understanding the business needs of an organisation, clearly and visibly creating value from a client and supplier view point, and continually developing and managing personal brand.
Master the art of Social Selling to increase sales by fostering relationships...VereigenMedia1
The goal of “social selling” is to increase sales by fostering relationships with potential prospects and stimulating conversations with those customers through social media platforms. For
example, on LinkedIn, marketing specialists share advice with a targeted audience of firms in a specific area (e.g., eCommerce, SaaS, finance).
Consistent participation on the platform increases their credibility and eventually, their
clientele. This approach allows you to market your business without making your posts look
like ads.
The goal of both traditional social media marketing and social selling is to make a sale. Social media marketing focuses on branding and aiming to reach a wider audience rather than just deal closures. On the other hand, in social selling, you leverage your own personal brand to connect with potential buyers. To put it simply, social selling is sales-focused, while social media marketing is more concerned with expanding a company’s brand. It’s setting yourself up as a credible thought leader or industry expert to get more sales.

Thought Leadership Marketing Guide [2021]Emir Atlı
https://hockeystack.com/blog/thought-leadership-marketing-guide
If you have been looking for ways to grow your business, then you might've heard the term "thought leadership marketing."
I don't know what you have learned so far about it, but if you still have questions about what is and how you can become a thought leader, then this beginner guide to thought leadership marketing is just what you were looking for.
Let's get started with the basics.
2. Planning to promote your expertise
Twelve tips:
1. Carve out a subject or issue niche
2. Senior figurehead to take the lead
3. You snooze, you lose
4. Plan ahead
5. Have a clear way of measuring your thought leadership
6. A modest budget will go far
7. Go easy on the hard sell
8. Don’t forget your owned channels
9. Be in engagement mode
10. Hang out with your audience
11. Equip your staff to speak for you and with you
12. Keep up the momentum
Read
on to

3. Carve out a subject niche
This is the most important starting point and
no simple task. Hone in and define what you
know you’re really good at. Check what
competitors are doing in this space. Decide
whether to take them on in the same territory
or find your own ‘sweet spot’. Of course,
make sure that this is an area that really
matters to the achievement of your
organisational objectives.
4. Senior figurehead to take the lead
It won’t fly if your thought leadership
area is purely a marketing initiative. Your
senior leadership need to be genuinely
involved and business decisions should
reinforce your expert positioning.
5. You snooze, you lose
Be prepared to be fleet of foot. That way, it will be
your opinions that gain traction rather than tagging
onto someone else’s coat tails. Some organisations
stifle their own ability to be heard by putting
burdensome process in the way of spokespeople –
although the right level of protocol is important.
6. Plan ahead
A frequent flow of information is
important or you’ll lose followers. You’ll
want to plan ahead, coordinate and
schedule your communication flow
across individual departments and silos.
Your goal should be to create a shared
editorial or content calendar.
7. Be clear what you’re measuring
Is it about driving clicks to your website,
number of shares on social media, traditional
media coverage or downloads of white
papers? These are all outtakes but think
about outcomes too, for example the number
of people registering for a service, attending
an event, donating or signing a petition as a
result.
8. A modest budget will go far
One of the biggest advantages of PR or
“earned exposure” is that it provides great
value compared to advertising. However if
you’re able to set aside some budget you can
amplify your expertise by producing well-
designed materials, hosting events or by
boosting the reach of social media posts with
targeted sponsored updates.
9. Go easy on the hard sell
This is about winning hearts and
minds – winning loyalty by being
helpful. References to products and
services need to be subtle and
justified.
10. Don’t forget owned channels
Ensure that you put as much effort into your owned
channels (e.g. your website) as your earned media
(e.g. media coverage, social media sharing). Don’t
let there be a mismatch between your social media
content and your other “touch-points”. Consistency
is key. If you grab their attention only to lose it by
getting the basics wrong elsewhere, then what’s the
point?
Nearly
there…
11. Be in engagement mode
Your expertise should catalyse dialogue.
Some people criticise the term “thought
leadership” suggesting it should be “thought
followership”. Remember that you’re wanting
to capture the attention of others, not simply
spout forth in a one-way stream. So be open
to contribution, feedback and criticism in order
to refine and improve how you communicate.
12. Hang out with your audience
Identify who you wish to target and
then figure out where they
congregate. This can vary by age,
profession, location. Bear in mind
people are in different “modes” when
in different virtual and real life
locations.
13. Equip your staff
The flipside to leading from the
top, is that your expertise will
seem shallow or inauthentic if it’s
not imbued in all staff from the
receptionist through to your
salesforce.
14. Keep up the momentum
In the field of expertise, you need to
keep walking just to keep pace.
Allow your experts the time and
space to continue to push out the
frontiers of knowledge in their
specialist area.
