Spread Your Influence with Fast Company!

Fast Company has joined the social media bandwagon with “The Influence Project”.  Why?  Because social media platforms work!

Now Fast Company magazine wants to include your photo in the November 2010 issue, as part of a neat project it calls the “2010 Most Influential People.”  This is a terrific chance to generate publicity from a magazine with a circulation of more than 538,000, as well as knowing how influential you really are.

Sign up here where I have just influenced you, and you can begin to influence others:  http://fcinf.com/v/apb5

This is what they write on their About the Project page:

“We started with a simple question: Who are the most influential people online right now?

That’s what The Influence Project is designed to answer. By participating, you will have your picture appear in the November issue of Fast Company magazine as part of an amazing photo spread. The more influence you demonstrate, the bigger your picture will be.

You may discover that you’re more influential than you think.

Influence is not only about having the most friends or followers. Real influence is about being able to affect the behavior of those you interact with, to get others in your social network to act on a suggestion or recommendation. When you post a link or recommend a site, how many people actually bother to check it out? And what’s the likelihood of those people then forwarding it on? How far does your influence spread?

This is the type of influence we’re looking for. We want to find the most influential person online.

Who knows? It might even be you.”

Go here now to get a unique URL which you can then share with your followers via email, at your website and blog, and on the social media sites.  It took me only a few minutes to sign up and upload my photo. I’ll look for you in the November issue!
