Most marketers are giving a permanent slot to influencer marketing in their budgets. Apart from hiring influencers, it is also a way out to become an influencer. HubSpot columnist Kevin Payne has shared a ten step process to help marketers become influencers.

Payne says, “In this blog post, I’ll be laying out ten ways how to become a social media influencer.

But do all these together, and you have a powerful strategy that will help speed things up exponentially.

To find your little corner of influence, you’ll need first to determine who is your target audience by developing a unique persona—a semi-fictional representation of your ideal reader. Tools like HubSpot’s Buyer Persona Generation Tool can help you identify the individual wants, needs”.
