5 Things Really Influential People Do

2. Be a Compelling Writer
"In today's world, content is king. The keyboard is the No. 1 method of communication. It doesn't matter whether you're sending your message through a tweet, comment, email, blog post, white paper, or book. You will be judged by how eloquently you can turn a phrase. Learn how to make your point clearly, concisely and in a way that connects empathetically. You'll have to practice. Find opportunities to write convincingly every day. And it helps to solicit feedback from your harshest critics. Being prolific won't automatically help you be more interesting as a writer, but it will give you more opportunities to see where you are boring, superfluous, and nonsensical, so you can make the necessary adjustments."
