I wouldn’t be known as “The Marketing Professional” if I was in no way influential. However influence, persuasion, leadership and just plain old power used in the wrong way can be a bad thing. Because I value my fans, clients, friends and family I am very careful about how I use my influence and who is in my shpere of influence.
When my friend and blogging extrordinaire Jeremy Schoemaker e-mailed me about Fast Company’s new Influence Project I had to take a look and learn more about it.
Here is just a small excerpt of what they say the influence project is all about:
“What the Influence Project aims to do is remove some of the mystery behind the inherent passivity of social network numbers. This experiment will show what happens when an individual takes an audience at rest and applies an unbalanced force–through suggestion, advice or direction–that converts it into an army of action.”
Here is where I need your help. As I write this post I am poised to crack the top ten percent of the most influential personalities online, I am at 89% which is 2,718 out of more than 26,500 people in the project – that’s as much as a small town!

Your click on the link above will allow me to move up and attain “Top 10″ status in the Influence Project sphere of influence. To me it’s a big deal and your seemingly effortless click means more to me than you know.
I also want to recomend reading Jeremy’s blog and the Fast Company blog as well. Heck, if you get the chance grab a copy of Fast Company’s magazine which is on news stands nation wide – it’s a good read!
I will blog more about The Marketing Professional’s quest for Influence soon so check back and leave me a comment about your thoughts on Influence, ShoeMoney, Fast Company or me 
Here’s to Your Influence,
The Marketing Professional
