5 proven ways to establish you as an Expert IN your FIELD

1. Let the Results Speak: If you have more of an entrepreneurial mindset, then simply let the results speak for themselves. If you sell 10,000 ebooks in a month or acquire 100,000 Facebook followers in a year, then you do not need any further expertise. The results speak for themselves, and you can claim to be an expert in marketing ebooks or acquiring Facebook followers.

2. Get the Credentials: You do not have to take a 4-year course followed by a masters to get your expert credentials. Try out a Massive Open Online Course (“MOOC”), a Udemy online course, or other online outlets offering certifications. No college needed and much less expensive.

3. Join Profnet: Profnet is a professional network that journalists reach out to in order to get quotes from experts. The requirements are actually very low, and you could easily establish yourself as an expert in your field and be quoted in reputable journalistic outlets. The journalists actually come to you for quotes.

4. Publish Publish Publish: If you consistently write on a particular topic, then you will get a reputation

Your Takeaway

Don’t let your fear of being the expert hold you back. Embrace the prestige, personal satisfaction and financial rewards that come with the territory and seek out opportunities where your knowledge and expertise can make a difference. As an expert people need you. Don’t let them down.
