Credibility Tip #3: Publish, Publish, Publish!
You can establish yourself as an expert voice fairly quickly if you author articles, tips, and blog posts on your particular topic. Publishing frequently supports your claims to being an expert by providing tangible proof that you know what you’re talking about
It also fills the search engines with pieces of information connected to your name. Each article or blog post you author will be indexed for others to access.
As you establish yourself as an expert, having a strong cache of Google proof will give your social networking followers something besides your Facebook profile to latch onto.
