These faves are definitely doing something right.
They offer value
They’re authorities in their various fields.
You see their work and you aspire to be more than an IG it twitter follow.
1. DMING them to say you admire their work and would like to be friends won’t cut it.

You will sleep there.

2. Get familiar with their story/Do your research.
Something they put out 5 years ago that impacted you. When you have an opportunity to engage, mention it.
It will get their attention. Trust me. I have done it. It works
“Steve Harris,that book you wrote in 2013 changed my life”

5. Once they notice you, don’t be quick to as them to be your mentor.
You’ll just ruin everything.
Keep engaging if it’s in the dm
Keep appreciating for the value they offer
Have conversations of interest.
Remember to be genuine because people see through fakeness .

6. Politely ask for their input or constructive criticism on what you’re working on.
Eg
Good evening, Steve Harris. I just wrote an Ebook and I was wondering if I could get constructive feedback from you if it won’t be too much trouble.
The above shows you value their opinion

7. If they take their time to go through your stuff and see that you’re serious, they will give feedback and that alone has opened more windows for conversations.
The more you engage, the more the relationship has been established.
Don’t ask for mentorship. Ever.

I applied all this and now I can brag that I know @MomentsWithBren personally. She’s been such a blessing to me and I love her so much!
Try it and let me know.
It takes time. Don’t rush. If you value that relationship, put in the work.
