Positioning yourself as an expert.

by admin on March 24, 2009

I attended one of Mari Smith’s seminar’s on Facebook and Twitter last week and during one segment of the seminar, Mari was asked a question and then she asked for people in the audience to offer their thoughts. I proceeded to share my experience and my views on the topic and thought nothing of it.

At the end of the seminar, I had a line of people that came up to me and started asking me for my business card and shared with me how much they had learned from my comments.  This gave me an unexpected opportunity to talk about my eBook and my relationship building system QuoteActions.

When reviewing this, I realized that what I had done was position myself as an expert by the quality of the comments I made. And then I realized that the same is true when you comment or share information online. If you position yourself as an expert by offering good insightful comments, people will be attracted to you.
