Some of the most experienced people are not recognized as expert while some complete novices seem to rise to such status.
How does that happen? Being an expert and being perceived as an expert can be two different things.
Perception is about marketing.
Depending on what information you market will determine if you will be seen as an expert.
Sales websites work very hard to convince you that the person trying to sell you something is an expert.
They offer testimonials from people who swear they have been to heaven because of the benefits of using the expert's product or service.
The expert status becomes more believable when the person is being recognized as an expert by an authority or well know entity or person.
This is one way to be seen as an expert.
Another great way to become an expert is to do website, services, company, or product reviews or comparisons.
The measure of expert is often dependent on whether or not the products all have affiliate links or not.
Offering advice, tips, and tutorials is a great way to become established as an expert.
Offering this type of information establishes a reputation and trust, and gets visitors to return.
Returning visitors often become customers.
Answering questions on a blog or forum is another type of expert information that can be recognized.
Good answers that help people bring them back the next time they seek advice.
Add supporting links or documentation and press releases to your website that help establish you as an expert.
Maintain the professionalism as an expert in your comments and articles.
Don't undermine all your hard work with profanity, anger, or by talking bad about others.
