Why is it that some personal brands are able to get trusted by millions, and others can't get a single person to become a diehard follower?

It comes down to one thing, the art of influence.

Over the last five years, I've generated 17 million followers and 10 billion views for clients, and today I'm breaking down the six traits of influence

that work together to help you build a personal brand that give people no choice but to trust you.

I created this framework because I noticed a difference between personal brands

that had a cult -like following and personal brand that just had followers that didn't give a fuck about them.

The ingredient that made the difference was influence.

If you're trying to sell a product or service, which is what most people who are building a personal brand are trying to do, you need influence to do that.

Hey guys, go buy my stuff.

No one watching this is going to do that, unless I have that single ingredient of influence.

But this framework does not just apply to content.

It also applies in every domain in life.

If you want to influence people to do something that they wouldn't normally do, this is how you do it.

Which brings me to trait number one, you need to be the pioneer, which means you need to do the thing first.

This pill right here, this could be dangerous, but I want you to take it.

Let's play this out for a second I could tell you

that this pill would give you the best out of your life It would unlock mental focus

that you've never seen it would make you a genius This pill could have everything

that you wanted within it But if I just told you to take it

and I didn't take one first the chances of you taking

it are very low building a personal brand Follows the same

principles you could want your viewers to do something You could try to encourage them to do that thing.

You could tell them outright do this thing But if you don't do the thing first, if you don't pioneer the path for them, there's no reason for them to follow you.

Our industry, social media, is full of people that don't have the credibility to tell their audience what to do.

And yet they tell their audience to do things.

They give people unsolicited advice with no proof to back up what they're saying.

Hypothetically speaking, let's say I'm about five years old.

I'm able to now think and reason and talk to an extent.

And my mom and dad tell me, hey, Ronnie, go clean your room but then I go to their room and I see that it's an absolute mess.

The chances of me just listening to what they tell me is very low

because they haven't done the thing that they're telling me to do first.

They have not pioneered the way.

I have a few important reasons that I started posting content recently, but one of the main ones is that I had been a creative director behind the scenes for four or five years.

I had helped other people generate millions of followers, billions of views, but I knew

that it was going to be hard for me to command a level of respect

and have authority over people and influence them to do things, if I wasn't doing it first.

And that's why I'm posting content now because I want to be a leader that leads by example.

I want to pioneer the path for people and test things on my own account so that when I tell someone, hey, do this thing, they're like, okay, I've seen you do it.

I trust you enough to do it.

And this is why it's so important to audit the things you say and ask yourself, do I follow the things that I say?

What makes someone influential isn't the amount of followers they have.

What makes someone influential is what they've done.

Jeff Bezos doesn't even post content frequently, but this guy lives rent -free in a lot of entrepreneurs' heads

and everything that he says people listen to because he built Amazon.

Like Elon Musk doesn't post content.

He's been on podcasts, yeah.

But people study the things he says because he's the world's first trillionaire.

It isn't the volume of content that you post that makes you influential.

That is a forcing function for getting in front of people, but it's the precursor.

It's not the thing that makes you influential.

The most important thing to build influence over people is to do things

that other people aren't willing to do so that you can say things that other people can't.

Hey, I did this shit.

And you don't have to be a giga -rich billionaire

or already have done something to start talking about the things that you're doing now.

There was a guy that I was on a call with recently

and he also does content and he put in his bio, not an expert, even though he has credibility enough to tell people what they should do.

Instead, he is publicly testing content strategies on his own account and then sharing them with the world.

I'm more likely to take that guy seriously because I know that he doesn't have an angle.

He's not trying to influence me to do something.

This is the question that I ask myself.

What is something that other people in my space can't say?

I personally don't know anyone that can say they have generated a billion followers for clients through social media.

Guess what I'm spending the next 10 years of my life doing?

Generating a billion followers for clients.

I know that after I've generated a billion followers for clients, when I talk about content and give people advice, they're going to fucking listen to me.

When Mr. Beast gets on a podcast and starts talking about content, do you think anyone has the ability to argue with him?

No, because he's fucking Mr. Beast, the most famous motherfucker in the planet.

And so that just gives a level of of impact to the words that he says.

This is a call to accountability.

I apply it to myself and I apply it to you.

I want you to look at yourself and ask yourself the question, what do I need to do to get what I want out of social media?

What outcome can my competitors not claim because they haven't done it?

Go do cool shit.

Go do bigger shit.

Shoot for the moon.

Make bigger risks.

Play to win.

Don't just play not to lose.

Which brings me to trait number two, inspiration.

And I define inspiration as having something that other people want.

Oh, bro, you inspired me.

What does that mean?

Like if I inspired you, it means that I did something that made you more likely to take action on something.

But I also think that inspiration comes down to.. the things that you have that other people wish that they had.

Not in an envious way, but in like a beneficial way, in an admiring way.

If you do not have anything that other people want, it's going to be very hard for you to influence them.

Let's say I can attribute all the success in my life to this pill.

I've made billions of dollars and I have the best relationship ever, and I'm kind and I'm wealthy and I have a great lifestyle that you want, and I can attribute it all to this pill.

Now, let's pretend that I am 300 pounds overweight.

My beard is growing so large, I haven't taken a shower.

I'm dressed in homeless clothes and you have heard rumors about my personal life

and I am a virgin and I've never had a female interested in me in my life, right?

And no one likes me.

And then I said, take this pill.

Like there's really a very low chance.

I would reckon negative 1 billion percent chance that you take this pill

because I have nothing that you want

that would make me be able to influence you to take this thing that got me what I want.

100

If you want to influence people, have a life they want.

101

And I think in life, there are really just a core few domains.

102

I think that there are relationships.

103

I think that there is health and fitness.

104

I think that there is finances.

105

I think that there's lifestyle.

106

I think there's like self -articulation and intelligence.

107

If you want to influence people, you need to be able to inspire them.

108

And to inspire them, I think you need to have success in many domains in your life.

109

And what will happen when you end up getting all of these things in your life in order, this experience and competence will create a level of confidence that other people wish they had.

110

People are very attracted to confidence, not arrogance, like, oh, this guy is high on his own supply, but confidence.

111

Like, this guy says what he means.

112

He does what he wants.

113

He carries himself in a way that I wish I would carry himself.

114

He's not afraid to say what's on his mind.

115

When you have that, when you have confidence, when you have an aura about you, people want to be around you.

116

And I think that's what attracts people.

117

It's like people will see you and they're like, I don't know what that guy has that I want, but I want what he has.

118

And to remove the blocker that will likely come up as a byproduct of being yourself, there are going to be people that dislike you.

119

Being yourself will repel some people and it will attract others.

120

And so I would rather deeply influence a few people than just casually impact thousands or millions.

121

And I think the way that you deeply impact a core group of people is by truly being yourself.

122

Okay.

123

I know I need to inspire people, but how do I do that?

124

There's no immediate fix to this.

125

Building a life and becoming someone that other people admire takes time, years. And

126

so the thing to do from here to make you more inspiring to other people is by picking some goals

127

and committing to those goals and then achieving them.

128

And that takes months and years.

129

And you won't notice anything for the first couple of days, first couple of weeks, first couple of months.

130

But over the span of a year, you'll look back and you'll be like, whoa, I don't even recognize that version of myself.

131

And then give yourself another year.

132

And you'll be like, holy shit, I am not the same person.

133

And then that'll keep happening until until you slowly start hearing more people say, wow, you inspire me.

134

I wish I was more like you in this way.

135

And that's what you're going for.

136

And zooming out from just content for a second, the people that are more likely to get what they want out of social media, they're able to build an audience and get followers, are the people that are able to be leaders in real life.

137

Being successful on social media starts with what you do in real life.

138

Which brings me to trait number three, which is similarity.

139

So let's play this out.

140

I am a man in my early 20s.

141

I have dark hair and a beard.

142

I like going to the gym.

143

I like traveling.

144

I like business a lot and I like content.

145

So those are just a few variables about myself, which means that people that are also young, people that like going to the gym,

146

people that like traveling and people that like business will pair themselves with me because they see themselves in me.

147

I'm a mirror.

148

It's like, hey, I embody the traits that you also embody.

149

Let's be friends.

150

That's really just how relationships work.

151

I haven't been on a date in a really long time, but when I was on a date, what do you ask someone?

152

Where are you from?

153

What's your backstory?

154

What do you do?

155

What are your hobbies?

156

Like you ask the person things about themselves to see

157

if you relate with them and people bond over Relatability and

158

so I think this is important with influence Like how does

159

this like this is cool to know fun fact ronnie But how does this change what I do in my content?

160

Well, I think it helps you understand

161

that you have the highest likelihood of influencing people

162

that are like you I wouldn't be the best fit to

163

influence Women in korea to buy a specific skincare product

164

because i'm not that demographic and they don't see themselves in me whatsoever

165

And so why would I want to influence that group of people?

166

I remember being a fitness coach back in the day in a coaching community, and there were all of these young dudes that were like 18, 19, 20, 21, and they were fitness coaches, and they were trying to work with like 35 year old,

167

40 year old moms, or they were trying to work with busy dads who were trying to lose their dad bod.

168

And it was so dumb because if I'm a dad with kids and I work a career, and I'm trying to see this kid who's never paid rent in his life, tell me how to get fit,

169

I'm not gonna pay attention to him.

170

If I am that dad, I'm going to pay attention to the dad who's 50, who's a little bit older than me, and who has kids, and he's able to be super fit, right?

171

And so I'm going to try to influence a specific demographic.

172

You are not going to be able to influence everyone.

173

You have the highest likelihood of influencing a specific type of person or people with commonalities.

174

as you have.

175

And so picking a demographic of people that you're trying to help and solve problems for is super important.

176

There's an important distinction to make here.

177

A lot of people are trying to build a personal brand, but what they're actually doing is advertising for their service.

178

They are an information source.

179

They maybe help business owners implement AI into their business and automate things.

180

And so all they ever talk about is how to implement AI in a business.

181

You could still argue that it's personal branding, but it's so heavy on being an information source, which makes the likelihood of people following you for a long period of time very low

182

because once you help them implement AI into their business, they don't really need you anymore.

183

Whereas what I think you should do instead is don't just be an information source on AI automation

184

or fitness or business or whatever your domain is.

185

That can be the majority of the content you provide so that you're still a subject matter expert and you have credibility, but sprinkle in outside interests.

186

Sprinkle in your story and who you are so that people can relate with you, which gives you a higher likelihood of influencing them.

187

Which brings me to the fourth trait of influence, safety.

188

You need to make it safe for people to be influenced by you.

189

Let's come back to this good old trusty pill.

190

Let's imagine this pill helped you put on 60 pounds of muscle in a very short period of time.

191

But you had heard that other people, bodybuilders maybe, that had taken this pill had died in their 30s.

192

The benefit of gaining 60 pounds of muscle is not worth the risk of dying in your 30s.

193

And so you are probably not going to take this pill despite the benefits that it would get you.

194

However, if I could erase the people in their 30s that had died.

195

I had led by example.

196

I'd taken this pill.

197

I had gained 60 pounds of muscle from it.

198

You're inspired by my level of muscle tissue.

199

You like who I am as a person because we have similarities and you relate with me.

200

And I made you feel safe for taking this pill by saying, I've been taking this pill for years and I have never had any health issues.

201

And my dad took it for years and he lived into his 80s.

202

And then I pop it in front of you.

203

You are so much more likely to take this pill because the benefits come with no risk.

204

I am playing a game of likelihoods here.

205

I want to make it more likely that you influence people.

206

I think most of the time, you cannot guarantee that anything will happen, but you can make it likely.

207

Now, how does this apply to content?

208

Well, with people that are trying to build a personal brand, they're often trying to sell something.

209

There's a lot of risk in buying something.

210

You are asking people to pay you money in hopes that when they pay you money, they'll get an outcome that they want.

211

That's pretty risky, especially online.

212

And so you need to make it so, so obvious that every other person that has paid you money and gotten a good outcome is blasted on your social media.

213

Hey, I helped this guy get an outcome

214

and this girl get an outcome and dozens and dozens and hundreds of people get a good outcome.

215

This is why if you follow me on Instagram and you watch my stories, I share social proof.

216

I share account screenshots of people we've grown on social media.

217

I heard some scientists somewhere say that people are super motivated by fear.

218

Humans are greatly influenced by their amygdala and their amygdala is, I'm pretty sure it's the fear center of your brain.

219

It's your fight or flight.

220

So people are always looking for risks.

221

Like what is a potential danger in doing this thing?

222

Like we're very, very good at finding risks.

223

There are two very practical things that you can do to make your audience feel safe enough to buy from you.

224

The first is what I already mentioned.

225

Share proof that other people work with you and they got a good outcome from doing so.

226

The second thing is go through all of your sales conversations and find the most common objections that come up, the reasons that people don't buy, and then make content solving those objections because now you've explained away their concerns.

227

Which brings me to the fifth trait of influence, likability.

228

The best way to operationalize likability is to just look at all the things

229

that you would have to do to make people dislike you.

230

And then just don't do those things.

231

Because I think it's super easy to spot someone you don't like immediately.

232

And so the best thing you can do is to just not stain yourself.

233

Don't stain your reputation by doing things that make you dislikable.

234

What are things that would make you dislikable in real life?

235

If you talk over people, or you always have to be the guy with the coolest story, or the greatest outcome, or like you have to brag the most.

236

If you attack people in person, you like shout them out, or you say things about them that aren't nice you talk bad about them behind their back.

237

Someone that tries to please everyone and they can't like pick a side.

238

They can't, they can't choose what they believe.

239

Like I don't, I don't fuck with that.

240

Be someone with integrity.

241

If you don't like something, don't do it.

242

If you like something, do it no matter who's in the room.

243

And so it's not that you need to please everyone.

244

I'm not trying to get you to people please.

245

It's just don't do the super obvious things that would make you dislikeable to most people.

246

There's a lot of people on social media that do these things.

247

And I'm like, you have hit a cap with your personal brand because people don't like you and they don't trust you.

248

And so I think being likable is something that you should actually strive for in content, which is kind of funny because we live in this personal development world where everyone's like, I don't give a fuck what other people think.

249

You know, if you don't like me, it's your fault.

250

It's like, how does that actually serve you?

251

How does that serve you?

252

It doesn't, it doesn't serve you.

253

You know what serves you is being likable because the more likable you are, the more people you have the likelihood of impacting and the more people you impact, the more you get out of life.

254

Which brings me to the sixth trait of influence, which is leverage.

255

Let's say I'm that five -year -old kid again, and my mom wants me to do my chores, which is her trying to influence me to do something, but I don't want to do my chores.

256

And I say, mom, I'm not doing my chores.

257

In that moment, she has four options to get me to do my chores.

258

She can say, if you don't do your chores, you won't get to watch a movie tonight, which is removing a good thing.

259

Or she could say, if you don't do your chores, I'll give you a spanking, which is adding a bad thing.

260

Or she could say, if you don't do your chores, you don't have to do your homework tonight.

261

This is removing a bad thing.

262

And lastly, she could say, if you do your chores, you'll get a cookie tonight, which is adding a good thing.

263

This is operant conditioning.

264

It's the quadrant of reinforcing behavior.

265

You can add a good thing, remove a bad thing, or add a bad thing and remove a good thing.

266

That's in the situation that there is someone over top of your head telling you to do something.

267

Like I can't really be in front of my followers and say, if you post content, I'll give you a cookie.

268

You know, like I can't do that.

269

But what I can do is make you aware of the consequences and benefits of doing and not doing certain things.

270

And that's how you apply leverage and content.

271

So like, for example, if you're a fitness coach and you help people lose weight, you can make a video talking about the likelihood that you will die early by being overweight.

272

I know that sounds morbid, but like that's an example.

273

Or you could talk about the likelihood of you living into your nineties.

274

If you have an extra 50 pounds of muscle tissue, you as the expert need to understand the costs and benefits

275

that your viewers will experience in life based off of whether they do

276

or don't implement the things that you tell them to do.

277

Coming back to this little yellow pill.

278

Again, let's roll with the gain muscle example.

279

If I take the pill first and I get a good outcome from it, if I inspire you by the life that I live, if you want to live a life like me, you want to be like me,

280

if you relate to me because of the similarities that we have, if I remove the risk and I make you feel safe for taking this pill, I am a likable person in your life

281

and I show you the cost versus benefits of taking or not taking this pill, the chances of you taking this pill are very, very high.

282

These six traits work whether I'm trying to get you to take this pill

283

or whether I'm trying to build a personal brand that gives you no choice but to trust what I say.

284

And if you like this video, then you'll like this video where I talk about how to build a cult -like personal brand.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
