Back in April of 2003, I hosted my first live seminar.
My first speaker was Stephen Pierce, and that was his
first time ever speaking on-stage. I still remember
his presentation 5 1/2 years later.
The core of Stephen’s message was that the most
important element of your online marketing is PROOF.
“People don’t believe you, and they don’t trust you.”
That’s what you have to overcome before they will
listen to you and buy from you.
That’s still true today. Without credibility, you’ll
NEVER succeed in an online business.
Today, at 2-3pm EST (1-2pm CST, 11am – Noon Pacific),
the guest on my radio show is Felicia Slattery, a
leading expert on “Increasing Business By Communicating
Your Credibility.” She teaches you to develop your
“Signature Speech” which instantly proves to your
listeners that you really know your stuff.
I sat next to Felicia at dinner at a recent JV Alert
seminar, and she totally amazed me. Her energy and zeal
for life was contagious 
Please tune into my show today and let Felicia teach
you how to really boost your credibility. You can dial
in and ask questions, etc., or you can listen right over
the internet at: http://BlogTalkRadio.com/WillieCrawford/
You’ll be glad that you did!

If you’ve followed me much online, you’ll also see a
pattern as to how I’ve built and continue building my
credibility. I’ve written over 1100 articles demonstrating
my expertise. I’ve also cranked out TONS of videos,
audios, and press releases in the various niches that
I’m in. I’ve lost track of how many ebooks I’ve written!
When people see your name, and face, everywhere that they
turn in a given niche, you have AMAZING credibility.
That actually took a lot of work for me… 12 years’ worth
of work to be exact.
Today, my credibility has me…
1) Being inducted into a culinary museum next month
2) Speaking in front of a new Glazer-Kennedy Inner Circle
group of serial entrepreneurs next month
3) Personally known by the local newspaper owner… and
local politicians
4) Turning down invitations to speak at nine different
seminar over the next two months in locations as exotic as
Jakarta, Indonesia
My point is that generating content that demonstrates your
expertise really does build your credibility.
That’s why I still “crank out” a lot of content even
today. Now, I used an automated submission service to
submit my articles, videos, press releases, and even
podcasts to literally thousands of places.
I use a service that I LOVE and highly recommend called
Easy Pushbutton Traffic. When they submit my articles
to article directories, they do two things…
1) They submit to places that actually want my articles and
will run them or add them to their databases.
2) They submit to places that take articles submitted to
them and resubmit them to hundreds of other places.
So, I now spend about 30 minutes writing a decent article,
I spend another 5-10 minutes submitting it, and in a short
time, that article is all over cyberspace… building my
credibility, and sending me paying customers.
I spend 20-30 minutes creating a video, or even 5 minutes
shooting one with my Flip Camera at the beach. I use
Easy Pushbutton Traffic to automatically submit that video
to 30+ TOP-RATED video sites (like YouTube, Google,
Yahoo, and AOL). With very little work, my video is soon
all over the place
Easy Pushbutton Traffic is one of those tools that I wish
I had when I first got started. It eliminates the learning
curve that old-times like me had to endure.
Take a minute now and check out Easy Pushbutton Traffic.
I made a short video showing me using it to submit a
video. Why? Because nothing provides PROOF like a video
demonstration.
Stephen, if you’re reading this, you’ll notice I am
learning

That’s it for today.
Thank you for listening.
