How to Become a Recognized Expert in Your Niche

How do you become a recognized expert in your niche?

I believe it begins when publish your own book. This is a key to increasing your credibility in the marketplace.

On today's show, I was joined by my New York publisher, David Hancock.

We fielded questions from viewers, discussed the entrepreneurial publishing model, presented a new Top Ten list and the monkey flew.

Tune in for this replay below!

Something Cool’s Happening This Friday

by Rich Schefren on July 30, 2008

Okay, so I’m really pumped about something and I need to share it with you real quick…

For the past several months, I’ve been feverishly working on the next big thing for Strategic Profits (more on that in a moment).

And you know me–I’m the research-aholic. Even as I’m typing this, I’m virtually buried in a mass of books, magazines, printouts, Post-Its, and assorted clippings.

But here’s the cool part…

As I was researching a certain aspect of this major project, something stuck out like the proverbial sore thumb…

It was all about establishing systems in your business…coming up with processes that help you “take action” and get things done..finding the road map to take you from A to Z with the least amount of effort.

All the research showed, it was painfully obvious across the board that most people were missing a key component–THIS is one of the biggest pieces of the business building puzzle.

If you are struggling in your business you need to get this. You need to really look at your business and identify the processes and systems or lack of.

One on the biggest hurdles holding companies back are the lack of fundamental systems that can really help expedite it’s growth.

This might not be a huge surprise to you but in the mist of all the research I have been doing it is clear that people who know this still don’t take action on it.

Why?   Because in most cases they don’t know what to do, or at least what to do first. In a lot of cases if they just had a road map they would be able to supercharge their business and short-cut lots of hurdles. Thereby jumping ahead of competition significantly.

Now, I could have tucked that little tidbit away and kept it for a piece of the “big thing” I’m working on. Goodness knows it would have been a welcome addition.

But I’m not going to do that.

No, I’ve decided that this is something you need to know about right now. Because it’s something that can help you–RIGHT NOW.

So as soon as I hit the last keystroke in this blog post, I’m going to call my team together and get them going on this little “side project”.

I figure we’ll need about 48 hours to get it together. So check back on Friday August 1st to see what’s up.

Seriously–mark your calendar. Because you will not want to miss what I’m about to do.

(And best of all, it’s FREE for you)

Gotta get to work now… But I wanted to hear from you first.

1. Let me know what major processes you implemented that positively helped your business in regards to what I am saying here.

2. Looking back in time, what would you have done differently that would have put you much farther ahead in your business?

To Higher Profits,

Rich

P.S. Like I said, I’ve had my head down, working furiously on this MASSIVE undertaking for the past several months…

And I’ve been doing my best to keep it under wraps. But as it tends to happen, some info has leaked out.

So to satisfy any curious minds, I will go ahead and confirm this much:

  • I’m about to set the internet marketing community on its ear (again)
  • There’s something HUGE on the horizon for September
  • We’ll announce more details in the coming weeks.

Social Media Expert

Social Media Expert

"You're a social media expert", he said on the conference call.

I guess I hadn't thought of myself in that manner before.

He went on to tell me that I have provided him with tons of advice on using social media to leverage his brand and increase traffic to his sites.

I pondered for a while and realized that I had gotten so used to sharing my knowledge that I didn't recognize just how much I had to share with others.
