How to Become a TRUE Expert

Lots of people call themselves experts. But how do you become a TRUE expert to others in your field? What can make you become the "go-to-person" for your profession?

The answer is simple: write a book. With the advent of self-publishing, you can now establish your brand by writing and marketing to a targeted group. You're no longer limited to the previous hallmarks of expertise, such as broadcast media exposure, advertising campaigns, or being the subject of a feature story.

Years ago the brochure was the way to get noticed. Today, social networking enables business professionals to reach unprecedented heights of exposure. But the best vehicle for establishing yourself as an expert is to become an author. If your book is marketed effectively, you'll gain instant credibility, develop a dedicated following of readers, and will enjoy the TRUE meaning of success.
