Volunteer As An Expert Guest

Online seminars and guest interviews are a very popular type of format for online content. It can draw a great number of people to a site. In order to have a seminar with a panel of experts, those experts have to be invited and agree to be a part of the panel. Getting people involved can be the hardest part, and people who own websites or alternative news sites are always seeking to find people to interview or seminars to host. If you can provide value and are willing to share your expertise with others for free, you can contact other sites or experts and either engage in a seminar or host one yourself as the moderator.

YouTube and BlogTV Channels

The newer forms of video channels are an especially effective format for interviews. All you have to do is locate channels with a large number of viewers and see if they'd be interested in interviewing you. One way to get this done is to set up your own channels and become a part of the community first. Even if your own videos, which may be instructional, have few viewers, if they are quality videos, other people on the site will try to lend a supportive hand to one of their own. If you can create a joint venture where you are interviewing each other or promoting each other’s videos, you will get a great reputation as being an expert in the particular niche you've marketed.

Community Talk Shows

Similarly, there are radio shows within the community that are always looking for interesting speakers. Many of them also now have an online presence and post their shows online for their Internet viewers. Try to locate a couple of local talk shows and see if you can get yourself on there with an interesting subject or can be interviewed on some of their shows with similar topics. This has the double-effect of getting local listeners to recognize your name as an expert in the field and also as an expert online when that show is posted for the online community.

Interview Yourself

You can write up an interview format to give the most interesting points of who you are and why you're an expert. Get some of your online friends to post the written interview on their sites as their own work to introduce you to their audiences. You can do the same for them if they want to trade. This works very well if you have a blog and you're networking with someone else who is in a similar market niche.

Teach What You Know

The ultimate way to be known as an expert is to be a teacher of what you know. Teachers gain automatic respect and authority as experts in their fields. There are several ways to teach online; some will require credentials and others won't.

If You Got The Credentials

Maybe you have a Master's degree or a Doctorate degree in your field; if so, then you should definitely flaunt this. These types of degrees are impressive and qualify you as an expert. Many teaching positions require a Master's degree or higher. If you've got the credentials, be sure to put those letters after your name. If you’ve graduated from a prestigious university, be sure to mention that too.

For Those That Don't

It can be a lot harder to break into teaching without the proper credentials, but it's still not impossible. As long as you can show that you have significant experience in a particular topic, there are many online universities and classrooms that would like to have you share that expertise. Sell your skills and how you can benefit the school and attract students, even if the course is not as technical or as intellectual as another. As long as you can say you are teaching courses, you automatically achieve the aura of expert in your field.

Create Your Own Teleseminars

Even if you can't get involved with some online school or teaching venue because of a lack of prior experience, don't let that stop you. You can create your own teleseminars. Just grab a web camera and start talking. Use computer graphics or PowerPoint if you want to create charts and images to splice into the teleseminar. Post it on YouTube and then invite the community there to view it and comment on it. Add the link to your website in the one URL link that is available to posters so that people know where to go to get more information.

The nice thing about creating your own teleseminars is that you have complete freedom to create the type of class or informational seminar without having to get anyone's approval. You can experiment with the media and take as long as you want to put your first teleseminar up. After you've got a great teleseminar, you can offer it for free by creating a group page and inviting people to come and watch it via your social networking sites. Request feedback and offer your links to your website and sales pages within the invitation, as well as a part of the ending visuals on the teleseminar so that people can use them to find more information on that topic.  Since it is a free teleseminar, you can use it to promote some particular product or service, as long as it's not the sole purpose of the entire video. Always contribute value first and then add your links when it is appropriate. As long as you stick to the idea of providing value to your community, you will come off looking like the expert you want to be.
