Fellow Freelancers, or should I say Experts..
Today, I'll bring you something different. Something you'll need to think about.
The subject is the title. The answers will vary. Some people will say one thing and others will claim another thing to be better. That's just the average way of life.
What we will talk about, is how you position yourself to be an expert.
I will give you one example, of how I would do things.
When I was a salesperson for SVD (A newspaper in Sweden), I simply told my previous boss, during the interview, that I was a superb salesperson, even though I had basically no prior experience at all. - Was that wrong?
At first glance of such an answer, I would say yes. It was wrong.
However, I added more to it.
I told him that I had experience from being a freelancer for instance. That I had been working with people previously, but in other ways, but I still had social skills. I gave him the full story so to speak, and by doing that, I convinced him of the fact that I was "the guy" he needed. - And I started to work.
So yeah, perhaps not the best story or example, but decent enough to make my point. At least I think so.
With that being said, you can be the expert, even if seems like you're not.
How do you position yourself to be an expert?
How do you convince people?
Best Regards,

The thing is that you have so many self proclaimed online gurus and when I hear someone say they are a guru or an expert in the online marketing field I just get annoyed... like you and how many other millions of people?
I would say the best thing is to offer value to people, like joining in these discussions and being real, offering good solid advice and tips to other members.
That would speak for itself. My feeling is that if you want to be considered an expert it is important to behave like one... and for me that means not claiming you are an expert LOL.
