How to Win Friends and Meet Influential People

[@noahkagan]

What networking tip are YOU going to try today? (Yes-- today, like RIGHT AFTER you close this video!)

[@lorenzosavasta1711]

I'm going to compliment without expectation with a great entrepreneur I follow on KZbin, so expect my message Noah! 😜

[@theubermensch6887]

Started blogging www.theubermenschdomain.com

[@ChrisReynoldsLive]

I like asking a friend who I should connect with in that city! Gonna use that one for sure.

[@SylvainGauchet]

Nice tip. I’ll continue mining insights from podcasts/webinars at growthgems.co (taking note taking to the next level)

[@TheAntipreneur]

Reaching out to you is my tip I am going to try. I am a professional in the film and video production field. I love creating engaging and interesting motion graphics for people. I would love to contribute to you KZbin journey with some free motion graphics work (Titles, Logo Animation, Callouts/Flyouts, VFX). Interested?

[@HarryDry]

Yo! I'm that kid Noah mentioned at the 2:17 mark. Noah's underselling himself here A LOT. We didn't just chat. Noah actually put his MONEY UP and sponsored me. Coronavirus hit. I'd lost my sponsor for my marketing blog. So he stepped in and took over sponsorship for a month. Will always be thankful Noah. Top man. See you starside ✨✨✨

[@CatherineQuiambao]

What a great story! Two of my favorite marketers. :)

[@KhrisDigital]

I'm on your list and a follower on Twitter. Love your stuffs! You're a great dude. Glad for you Harry. And bigger thanks to Noah for the being amazing.

[@TorbsTraining]

Harry Dry is a legend 🙌🙌

[@along1298]

I don't say this often, but man this video is pure gold! Could be a whole book of its own, and you delivered it in only 14mins!

[@noahkagan]

Thank you so much man. We love putting this out to help you gorgeous people!

[@Sunilkumar-bs6ol]

It's version 2.0 of how to influence friends and people

[@BharatinGermany]

Being able to learn from your videos is absolute gold. If KZbin wouldn’t be there, all of these experiences we wouldn’t even be able to learn from.

[@Onizukastyle]

Here a quick summary with timestamps: 0:20 1. Ask your friends for referrals: Ask your friends if they can introduce you to one impressive person. Action: Write down the 3 most interesting friends you have. When asking for a referral: 1. In what city? 2. Gender/personal specification. 3. Category/niche? 4. Whatever else! Quick tipp: Adding them on Linkedin ist not networking. A real relationship is when someone is exciting to hear from you. 1:55 2. Reach out to up and comers: Contact them weekly. No one wants to be your mentor. 2:50 3. Do interesting sh*t: Build your personal brand. Action steps: 1. Start KZbin, Blogging, Sendfox. 2. Write once a week for at least 90 days. Quick tipps: 1. Make an intentional list of people. a) Who has a career you like? b) Who's working on sth. you're curious about? c) Who's working in an interesting company? 5:48 4. Take notes and share them publicly Action steps: 1. Take notes on the next podcast, KZbin, webinar and put it online. 2. Send notes to the owner of the content. Great way to connect and learn for yourself. 6:36 5. Financially support people Action steps: 1. Offer an author 200 book sales. 2. Hustle to go sell the copies. 6. Add value to successful people without expectations Action steps: 1. Create something for them (drawing, marketing plan, video). Do it for free. 2. Look at how they are spending their time (assist them). 3. Compliment without expectations. 7. Geography matters Change your environment. Quick tip: Keep a list of cool people in cities. 8. Organize an online event You can use Google Meet, Zoom or facebook groups etc. This helps to build your audience an network. Pro: Your environment is not an issue anymore. You can do it every single week. Action steps: 1. Identify someone you want to connect with. 2. Make it worth it for them to sign up. 3. Promote and make a great event. 9. Search online communities examples: copyrightcourse.com okdork.com tropical MBA product time monthly 1K.com slack groups They hold you accountable. Action items: 1. Pick one of your passions 2. Find 3 online groups 3. Post and engage once a week __________________ On a side note: For face to face networking, I highly recommend meetup.com. This way I found some really awesome, like-minded people. If you are free on the weekend you can host your own meetup event as well. @Noah Kagan: I always take notes when I'm reading a book, listening to podcasts, watching useful content online etc. But I never came up with the idea to share my notes and thoughts about this. Thank you so much Noah. You are a like a mentor to me I never had. Such an underrated channel you got. I'll be more than happy to witness when you reach 100K subs.

[@LoveGuruGreg]

Noah, again you're insights are incredible, especially for those of us who love helping people. Plus your openness and humility is inspiring!

[@GrowWithWill]

5:48 is gold -- wish I did this more regularly a few years ago as I was building my company. I only have a few years worth of reflections to look back on, and those are absolute gold whenever I reference back to them.

[@EDMTips]

Great advice, man...and good to Neville popping his krazy head up

[@JamieWhiffen]

Awesome video yet again Noah! Easily becoming one of the best channels on KZbin!

[@noahkagan]

With comments and underdogs like you - makes it super fun :)

[@hardikvaidya]

How does this video not have more views, I won't understand!? Solid stuff, Noah.

[@NirZavaro]

Great Vid rabbi. At the end of the day, it's all about the people. And i joined just a few weeks ago, finding your community to be amazing with great people. Keep rocking

[@noahkagan]

Hell yea Nir. Welcome home!

[@texasdiscountland]

I have to say... You're really really good at making these videos sir. Greatly enjoy watching your content.

[@ymy1111]

Awesome Noah! I've been scared to get myself out there and ironically since the pandemic, I've been thinking about how I NEED to get myself out there. I'm learning a new skill and I'm going to share what I've been learning as well as my struggles of learning something new.

[@BboyQuang]

I have been watching you for years now. You've always had good content, but you have upped your KZbin game so much!

[@noahkagan]

Thanks QB. We on 1

[@MatthewGattozzi]

Your advice is amazing! I love the practical question of reaching out to friends to get your referrals! I am trying to reach out to more people each week- heck each day. Keep up the videos!

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

So much value again Noah! never thought of keeping list of people I know in different cities - seems so obvious now!

[@noahkagan]

It's the simple things we miss...

[@trolyat]

Mind blown before my morning coffee! I have to rewatch this a couple of times at least. Thanks, Noah!

[@noahkagan]

Awesome Larry!!!

[@ChrisReynoldsLive]

Whoop whoop Topical MBA! Awesome video Noah...love it!

[@ErikHill1]

New Sony cam looking CRISPY NOAH. Props on the production quality. Woo! And that audio...🔥

[@noahkagan]

So fresh and so clean clean

[@johndo311]

Hey Noah. I first learned about you a few years ago on one of Tim Ferris's video where y'all helped a yogi start her business and the 10% discount was how I remembered you. I'm glad you started making more YT videos lately. I've really been enjoying your tips and how you present your info in a very low stress and digestible manner. Keep moving forward and thanks again.

[@noahkagan]

Have you done the 10% challenge my friend!

[@johndo311]

@@noahkagan I did but my ex felt uncomfortable and sort of botched it. Haven't tried since but should bring it back.

[@LinhPodetti]

Agree, just get out there. I put some videos out there 9 years ago and my husband found me on KZbin and invited me for a business meeting. We ended up courting and married in 8 mths. 🤣

[@goaldigger-r1m]

I cannot stop watching your videos!!!

[@noahkagan]

Yay. Luckily I can’t stop making em :P

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

I love these practical tips of things to do too, so useful!

[@MichaelKawula]

Awesome tips (nice seeing good ol Austin Netzley on the boat with y'all...wicked smart) If you haven't read The Proximity Principle by Ken Coleman (he's a Ramsey Personality) you'd enjoy it and he'd be a great guest. Your tip with move somewhere or join groups is putting yourself in Proximity to the people you want to meet. It's so important and something I feel should be taught to all kids in High School. Great video!

[@Kiran.Morjaria]

These are all such useful tips, networking is so important and under-appreciated. Thanks for the video Noah!

[@jewelbency5072]

Dude this is too much good stuff in one single video.

[@goaldigger-r1m]

Totally addicted to your videos 😀 Too bad I cannot add comments when watching on my TV. Had to come to my phone to let you know what an amazing job you are doing! Of course signed up for SendFox 😀

[@noahkagan]

Honored you took all the effort!

[@FreshCapMushrooms]

Totally agree here- having great people around you is so important to building a business. Also, make sure you can be valuable to other peoples networks as well.

[@noahkagan]

It's ALL about value to others

[@ralenesworld198]

You moved soooo quickly. Your phenomenal

[@davidgilbertvo]

Going to have to rewatch this a dozen times just to capture ALL of the NUGGETS of goodness you're giving away Noah! Want to put this into a doc and keep by my computer to remind myself every day what to do!

[@noahkagan]

Share your takeaways here, sure other people would love to see :)

[@davidgilbertvo]

@@noahkagan LOL, there's so many!! Truly, so many things I'd never thought of doing. For some, like introverts like me, getting on the phone or reaching out to strangers can be daunting at times. I'm going to make a doc/check list out of this so it's easier to keep track of.

[@ShaggyEells]

Thanks Noah, googling slack channels and the tropical MBA are the first things for me to try!

[@noahkagan]

Hell yea.

[@fiastirific]

Hey Noah, do you mind showing us how you edit your video from start to end, fascinated with your style!!

[@nabihakhan819]

Great advice loved the video hope I could get good at building connections

[@conquerandwin]

"Do interesting shit and blog about it" this is something I missed the boat on before. Actually, I was too broke to do many interesting things, that's changed. One thing I'm doing now is adding clips from my personal activities (like archery) to my vlogs, or vlogging on X topic while doing a personal interest. Even sitting on my Harley while vlogging (one prospect mentioned this, and signed up a couple days later) because bikes are one of my interest. *I'll be using the friend-referral tip. P.S. "Randomly meet people at the grocery store" actually a great place to get dates.

[@noahkagan]

Ha. Hell yea Eddy. Thanks for the comment. Archery is surprisingly fun

[@TorbsTraining]

Love your videos Noah! 🔥🔥

[@noahkagan]

Love your abs

[@wakerone7]

Love this! Thanks for the advice!! I'm currently using PeerPull and I am loving it :)

[@lifeartist8788]

Love. This.

That's Chandler Bolt at 10:21! Awesome!

Haha. Love me some Chandler!

[@prajwalsuresh2211]

Reciprocity is very essential while connecting. This is what you meant Noah?

[@LeonisInvest]

You can add me to your list of cool people that live in Paris, I'll show you around the startup scene next time you're here!

[@noahkagan]

Hell yea. Sounds awesome. Maybe this year?

[@michaelneuvirth9249]

Thanks. The online event gave me an epiphany. On my way to appsumo to see if you have any lifetime deals on event software

[@noahkagan]

Do it!

[@michaelneuvirth9249]

Already started and actually using something Neville blogged about a few years ago

[@lorenzosavasta1711]

About geography, which area in US or in the world, besides Silicon Valley, you think is great for entrepreneurs?

[@noahkagan]

It varies now especially with Covid but for tech = SF or NYC. LA is rising and so is Austin / Seattle.

[@despecc]

Reupload? Also, some of the editing is off at 2:13 and 2:18 :( Awesome vid as always

[@noahkagan]

We will try to fix in the backend
