Authority Building, ExplainedLesson 8 of 85 min

Who does what

In plain words

Building authority works best with a clear split. Inkflare does 80% of the work; you do the 20% only you can do, in under an hour a week; and a few things are beyond Inkflare. Know which is which, and nothing falls through the gaps.

01

80% Inkflare. 20% you.

The split isn't about effort for its own sake. Inkflare takes the work that doesn't need you; you keep the part that only you can do.

YouYour channels' design, your knowledge, your answers and your approval. Under an hour a week.

02

Sort it.

Sixteen jobs. Drag each one to who does it, or tap a box. If you get one wrong, you'll see why, and can try again.

03

Questions people ask

What if I don't have even an hour?

Start smaller. Approving is the part that can't be skipped, and it takes minutes. Answers and new material make your content better, so add them as you can.

Can someone on my team do my part?

Yes: a teammate who knows your expertise can review and approve. Your point of view and lived experience should still come from you.

What about the things beyond Inkflare?

They're worth doing when you can: speaking, podcasts and guest articles build authority too. A steady body of work makes each of them easier to get, and gives people somewhere to find you afterwards.

Will Inkflare build my website?

It's coming: Inkflare will build your website and keep it growing, and you approve what goes on it.
