Sonia, I couldn’t agree more. Honesty and transparency are absolute requirements to sustained success. Faking content with misinformation can sometimes result in short-term success, but more often than not dishonest attempts that feign knowledge and authority will come back to bite you.

Just as important as what is how often when it comes to building an authority presence.

Try to answer questions no one has answered yet or effectively and in no time you will be running at authority status.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve started following these same steps you are preaching here, and I can say from my experience that I have learned a bunch since I have started, and along the way, I have made it easy for other to learn too.

Great post. It really is about being relatable.
I like the main idea of this post, but it is still a big challenge for me..

It’s amazing how, in today’s world, an amateur can turn themselves into an authoritative voice above people who have decades of experience in that industry. In my niche it’s all about being genuine and like you said, avoiding pretending to be an expert when you’re not. If you invite people on a journey to learn something new that helps them, your followers grow, your business grows, and both of you learn something in the process. It’s cool.

Could not agree more Sonia. Especially with respect to committing to being sincere to your audience. It is so very important!

I like the main idea of this post.

Just do it and improve along the way.

Things get easier if you stop procrastinating. Planning is OK but too much planning without taking action will not get you very far.

This is epic…

It is remarkable to be an authority in neighbourhood. The customers won’t compare with the world anyway.

Also, always helping drives in tremendous results over time…

Awesome re-post.

Hi Sonia,
I’m taking your point from the post beginning, What’s holds people back from becoming an expert…
This is something that intensifies itself when you have a small blog and not much traffic.I experienced this, It can make you not sure if this is because of you or others factors.The way to get out of this, is to believe in your self and what you’re doing- that’s would be the first for me.
It’s not all about you, but yes- it’s about you!
Great post Sonia!
