In Never Eat Alone, Keith Ferrazzi talks about becoming a person of content as an effective means of enlarging your network. By becoming an authority on a unique subject matter,  others would become interested in joining your personal network. As you become known for something entirely different, you also differentiate yourself from other people, which is great.

Here are 10 tips on how to become an expert from Keith Ferrazzi:

1. Get out in front and analyze the trends and opportunities on the cutting edge.
2. Ask seemingly stupid questions. (If you ask questions that are like no other, you get results that are unlike any the world has seen.)
3. Know yourself and your talents. (Highlight your strengths so that your weakness matter less.)
4. Always learn.
5. Stay healthy.
6. Expose yourself to unusual experiences. (Different experiences give rise to different tools.)
7. Don’t get discouraged.
8. Know the new technology.
9. Develop a niche.
10. Follow the money. (All great ideas are meaningless in business until someone pays for it.)
