How to get Credibility INSTANTLY

If you want to have influence, you need to have credibility. Credibility is the ability to present yourself to an audience as an expert, by having proof that you've done something related to what your topic is. The benefits of having credibility is greater influence, respect and attentiveness when speaking.  When people are first introduced to you, there is a 30 second window of opportunity to capture their attention. After the window of opportunity is lost, the person disengages. Here is an example of creating credibility.

Imagine this scenario, you're sitting in the front row of a speaking gathering, and people are being introduced before giving a presentation. Who are you more likely to be attentive and listen to?

1) Introducing Bob, he will be speaking about time management.
2) Introducing Bob,  he is the author of "best time management techniques"  and is the creator of time-management.com, known as a motivational speaker with 10 years experience. Today he will be talking about time management. Who has better credibility? Who will you more likely listen to and pay special attention to?

Obviously the second choice would be best. So how exactly do we become credible? Its simple, all you need to do is create something that you're able to share that you've done. It doesn't have to be something difficult like a book, or a successful website. Take out a pencil and write down these three things that can make you credible NOW.

1) Write a Report: After you have written a report you can now say I am the author of "How time management really works, and its critiques" This can be written in an hour, on a word document, signed by you and then saved as a pdf.

2) Write an E book: Now this can be quick too, write a few chapters on whatever your "expertise" is, save it as a pdf. It doesn't need to be published or anything! Instant credibility

3) Create and write down a system: The system can be simple, for example. Say you figured out how to organize your day, write down the steps of what you do in order to get a day organized, and number them, and finally put your signature at the bottom. Congratulations you've created a system! Its that simple.

The psychological trick of creating an report, e-book, system, or etc and then verbalizing you've created something will capture the attention of your audience. This technique is used by the best marketers out their. Now you know the trick yourself!

Note: Within the first 30 seconds of a speech or conversation make sure to mention what you've created. It will draw in your audience, catapult your influence and make you an instant credible expert in your field. I hope his helped, God bless!
