Darren Rowse the Problogger answers a reader question concerning making yourself a credible source in your chosen blog niche.

“My question is how to make yourself a credible source. For example, when I came across your site, I got the impression that you had no experience with blogging, but found your niche in “making money from blogging.” But since you had never actually done it, I’m curious as to how you made yourself the source that you are now. You have very good tips and information, but obviously didnt have them to begin with.”

Darren has decided to make a series of articles out of this question. Here are some topics he covers

• Credibility is a slippery thing – what is credible to one person can be seen as suspicious to another
• Every
  ‘credible’ blogger I know has gotten to that position in my
  mind for a slightly different reason. What helps build credibility in
  one blogging niche might not necessarily add to it in another.

I say: You create your own credibility. Whether your new to blogging or new to a job you always wanted. What you do and how you do it make you the credible person. You are what you make yourself.
