It is with great pleasure that we bring you our 2016 edition and
introduce you to 241 New Media Influencers Who Can Make
You Famous With The Push Of A Button.

have flaws. We likely missed more than a handful or two of
influencers that should have been included.
That said, the 241 selected are among the worlds best and
have a combined reach of over 523,000,000! Can you imagine

change if you were able to share your mission and message
with that many people?

We then assigned a score for each influencer based on these
criteria. Those with the highest tallies are shown in the pages
that follow.
How will you know when youre 100% ready? When you can
confidently answer YES! to at least four of the five questions
shown below:
1. Have I already been a guest on at least 20 other shows?
Lets face it, you dont want your first TV interview to be
with Oprah, nor do you want your first radio interview to be
with Howard Stern. The influencers featured within these
pages are the true icons of the new media world. You have
ONE shot to get it right. Mess it up and not only will you
never be invited back to their show, given that the world
of influencers is fairly tight, word will spread about your
appearance and the odds of being invited onto others

currency is and identify ways that you can help them
BDIJFWFUIFJSEFTJSFEPCKFDUJWFyBOEUIFOEPJU
3. Do I have my own show, or a substantial online presence, and
have already connected with, featured, or had an influencer
on my show?
When seeking to connect with influencers, it is certainly
easier to do so if youre an influencer in your own right, have

platform that rivals theirs. Few, however, will meet one, let
alone all three, of these criteria. There is, however, an easy

and anoint you as being ready to get onto the influencer
playing field, take matters into your own hands and start
embodying the character traits, and replicating the actions,
of influencers you admire.
