Market Makers
Through their ‘actions’ these people make their market WHAT IT IS…
…By shaping the thoughts of the marketplace through contributing quality content continually.
… By actively creating relevant and stimulating conversations.
… By producing products and services to HELP their markets members fix their problems.
It’s these people that make the ‘market experience’ what it is - without them the marketplace would be a completely different landscape.
The contribution (and value) these people offer their marketplace is what shapes it.
The term MARKET MAKER also implies that they actually take action and implement something/anything…
.. as nothing is ‘MADE’ until action is taken.
The individuals we’re talking about MAKE something OF THEIR market; whatever that market is; new or old… They use their determination, to get through the dip (another Seth term) and find a way to extract some form of value; be it an income, a family/community, a {fill the gap}
Also, MARKET MAKERS are not always, nor ever need be, the biggest player (leader) in that space from a pure dollars and sense perspective. You only need 1000 rabid people in our influence to be wildly successful in your chosen niche - remember that.
[As a side note, there are some ‘good friends’ in this 30DC community that are ‘market makers’ in the Twitter space - and they don’t have the biggest following, but are definitely shaping the way their ‘followers’ are using and thinking about Twitter]
In my opinion, it’s not just about leading the entire tribe, it’s about taking action and playing an active + positive role in your marketplace - AND MAKING IT WHAT IT IS.
The rest will follow.
So… what are you actively doing/contributing/creating to make your marketplace what it is ?
“…Dog, I was having nervous breakdowns … Like “Damn, these n*** that much better than me?”
