It’s no different in the business world; no one will believe you’re serious unless you begin to create content that demonstrates your expertise. That allows potential customers or employers to test-drive your approach before they make a large commitment. (If you’re a graphic designer, having contacts check out an image gallery of corporate logos you’ve created may inspire them to send you that major new account.) I’ll go over strategies such as how to leverage your online brand, affiliate with brand-name organizations in your field, get published in major journals, build credibility through assuming leadership positions, and more
