Reporter vs Expert - Why Most Bloggers Are Stuck Reporting

Reporters leverage the content of the experts and in most cases people start off as reporters because they haven't established expertise. Experts enjoy the perks of preeminence, higher conversion rates because of perceived value, it's easier to get publicity, people are more likely to seek you out rather than you having to seek others out, joint ventures come easier, etc. Experts in most cases simply make more money and attract more attention.

Most Bloggers Are Reporters

The thing with expertise is that it requires something - experience. No person becomes an expert without doing things and learning. Bloggers usually start out without expertise and as a result begin their blogging journey by talking about everything going on in their niche (reporting) and by interviewing and talking about other experts (reporting again).

There's nothing wrong with reporting of course and for many people it's a necessity at first until you build up some expertise. Unfortunately the ratios are pretty skewed when it comes to reporters and experts - there are a lot more reporters than there are experts, hence reporters tend to struggle to gain attention and when they do, they often just enhance the reputation of the expert they are reporting on.

Don't Replicate Your Teacher

If you have ever spent some time browsing products in the learn Internet marketing niche you will notice a pattern. Many people first study Internet marketing from a "guru" (for lack of a better term). The guru teaches how he or she is able to make money online, and very often the view that the student gleams is that in order to make money online you have to teach others how to make money online.

The end result of this process is a huge army of amateurs attempting to replicate what their teacher does in the same industry - the Internet marketing industry - not realizing that without expert status based on a proven record and all the perks that come with it, it's next to impossible to succeed.

Even people, who enjoy marginal success, say for example growing an email list of 1,000 people, then go out and launch a product about how to grow an email list of 1,000 people. Now I have no problems with that, I think it's fine to teach beginners and leverage whatever achievements you have, the problem is that people gravitate to the same niche - Internet marketing - and rarely have any key points of differentiation.

How many products out there do you know of that all claim to teach the same things - email marketing, SEO, pay per click, affiliate marketing, and all the sub-niches that fall under the category of Internet marketing. It's a saturated market, yet when you see your teachers and other gurus making money teaching others how to make money (and let's face it - making money as a subject is one of the most compelling) - your natural inclination is to follow in their footsteps.

If the key is to become an expert and you haven't spent the last 5-10 years making money online, I suggest you look for another niche to establish expertise in.

Report on Your Process, Not Others

The secret to progress from reporter to expert is not to focus on other experts and instead report on your own journey. When you are learning how to do something and implementing things day by day, or studying other people's work, you need to take your process and what you do as a result of what you learn, and use it as content for your blog.

It's okay to talk about experts when you learn something from them, but always relate it to what you are doing. If you learn a technique from an expert it's fine to state you learned it from them (and affiliate link to their product too!) but you should then take that technique, apply it to what you are doing and then report back YOUR results, not there's. Frame things using your opinion - your stories - and don't regurgitate what the expert said. The key is differentiation and personality, not replication.

Expertise comes from doing things most people don't do and then talking about it. If you do this often enough you wake up one day as an expert, possibly without even realizing how it happened, simply because you were so good at reporting what you did.

You Are Already An Expert

Most people fail to become experts (or perceived as experts) because they don't leverage what they already know. Every person who lives a life learns things as they go, takes action every day and knows something about something. The reason why they never become an expert is because they choose not to (which is fine for some, not everyone wants to be an expert), but if your goal is to blog your way to expertise and leave the world of reporting behind you have to start teaching and doing so by leveraging real experience.

Experience can come from what you do today and what you have done previously; you just need to take enough steps to demonstrate what you already know and what you are presently learning along your journey. I know so many people in my life, who are experts simply by virtue of the life they have lived, yet they are so insecure about what they know, they never commit their knowledge to words for fear of, well fear.

Blogs and the Web in general, are amazing resources when you leverage them as a communication tool to spread your expertise because of the sheer scope of people they can reach. If all you ever do is talk to people in person and share your experience using limited communication mediums, you haven't much hope of becoming an expert. Take what you know and show other people through blogging, and you might be surprised how people change their perception of you in time.

Reporting Is A Stepping Stone

If your previous experience and expertise is from an area you want to leave behind or you are starting from scratch, then reporting is the path you must walk, at least for the short term.

Reporting is a lot of fun. Interviewing experts, talking about what other people are doing and just being part of a community is not a bad way to blog. In many cases people make a career of reporting (journalism is about just that), but if you truly want success and exponential results, at some point you will have to stand up and proclaim yourself as someone unusually good at something and then proceed to demonstrate it over and over again.

Have patience and focus on what you do to learn and then translate that experience into lessons for others, and remember, it's okay to be a big fish in a small pond, that's all most experts really are.

Feeling A Little Scatter Brained?

So many people fantasize about working from home.  We envision ourselves sitting at our desk, kitchen table or even laying in bed pecking away at our laptop; answering e-mails and phone calls that are pouring in from our customers and prospects.  We also see ourselves having more time to spend with our family and friends.  We can just taste the coffee that we'll be drinking at Starbucks with our girlfriends, feel the romance in the air as we go out on a lunch date with the hubby and hear the childrens laughter while we do arts and crafts or take them to the park in the afternoon.  Oh the freedom and bliss!  It's the most perfect life.

The reality of it is... working from home can be totally chaotic!  Especially if you have small children at home,  a loving husband that is also an entrepreneur and friends that call and say, "I'm on my way.  Let's do lunch."  You may just find yourself running around in circles like a chicken with your head cut off.  Ideas for your business are flying around in your head, while your daughter is wanting something specific for lunch, your husband is asking you to check out the cut he just made on the video editing job he's working on, the kitchen sink is starting to look like you haven't washed dishes in a week and the dogs need to go out to pee.  Well, I don't know how it is in your home, but I have spent many a days as a scatter brained work-at-home entrepreneur.  Truth is, I was hardly getting any work done at all.  Well, definitely not enough to get the results I was looking for.  That is until I learned the power of getting organized.

If you are courageous enough to start your own business and blessed to be able to work from home full time, being organized it a MUST!  And if you didn't know, now you know.  Take it from me... Start getting organized now and you will accomplish your goals much faster and your dream will become a reality.

I just read an awesome article on www.redbookmag.com.  I shared it with my twitter family.  I encourage anyone looking for ways to actually get things done when working from home to read it.  Here is the link: Work At Home And Get Things Done.  It can happen!

Wishing you all a prosperous and fulfilled life~

If your marriage is presently going through a difficult phase then the onus to bring it back on track, lies on your very own shoulders.
Professional help and marriage advice for women can help you in making the right decisions which can help your marriage tremendously. Listed below is some invaluable marriage advice for a you which is bound to bring the magic back:

Be Truthful but Considerate
Arguments unfortunately are a part of any healthy relationship. But, while making your point, you should be considerate and kind enough to respect your husband’s feelings and emotions. It is wise not to use words which can hurt or bruise his feelings.

Complement and Appreciate Your Husband Frequently
This is one marriage advice for women, which has tremendous potential to bring the spark back into your marital life. Complements play a major role in improving positive behavior and boost the self confidence of an individual, and hence encourage him to make his best to keep the spark and romance alive in the marriage.

Be optimistic
Do not let the negative emotions take over your life or relationship. If any mistakes have happened in the past, then be ready to let those negative feelings go. Clinging to those negative feelings and emotions will only further damage your life and marriage. Sometimes forgiveness is what is required to move your marriage and relationship to the next level.

Do Not Repeat Mistakes
This is undoubtedly the most important marriage advice for women. If you have committed a grave mistake and if your husband has forgiven you whole heartedly, then do not take your husband for granted. Taking your relationship for granted, and repeating the mistakes again and again and can cause irreparable damage to your marriage.

Love Your Husband Unconditionally

This is one piece of marriage advice for women, which maybe quite difficult to follow. Try to love your husband unconditionally, that is without any strings or conditions attached. You will be surprised to see how your husband will positively react to the change. In fact, it would be very apt to say that your husband will not hesitate even a bit to love you with all his heart and soul.

The best marriage advice for women is to support your husband when he is stressed. During these financially trying times, it is more than a probability that his work and job are taking a heavy toll on his overall well-being.


Nothing can match the love, support and care of an understanding wife. Welcome your husband with a genuine smile and try to share his problems and issues. These are minor aspects which are often ignored by many women, but you will certainly be amazed by its impact on your marital life and your relationship with your husband.

4 Simple Parenting Tips: Raising Godly Children

Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Parenting is not easy.  Like everything else, we have to learn how to properly raise our children.     Our children look to us to not only provide for them, but to love them, honor them, protect them and teach them.  We cannot neglect our children by not showing them how to honor God in their everyday lives.  It starts with us.  Honoring God in OUR everyday lives is the best way to teach our children who God is.  Below are a few super simple Godly parenting tips.

1. Work on the heart issues.
We can focus so much on behavioral aspects of parenting. Like etiquettes, manners, communication skills and so forth. But the true test of discipleship is the heart. Whatever is inside will work its way out. Focus on OBEDIENCE, SELF CONTROL, WISDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY. Its all internal work that will produce great character.

2. Be present.
Being present is the greatest gift we can give to our kids. Being patient, being loving, being kind, being a forgiving parent all happens when you are there to see what is happening. Be there.

3. Build on your child's strengths.
Don't work so hard to on your kids' weaknesses. Positive training builds more character than negative words and comments. Greatness comes from building on our strengths not on compensating our weaknesses. Stay on your kids strengths. Find what they are good at and invest time, money and training in those giftings.

4. Be Mentored
There are many blind spots in our parenting. Other people see better what we normally tolerate. We can grow faster in areas of weakness as we allow other people to speak into our lives. Frustrations can be minimized if you allow yourself to see from other people's perspective. Do you have people speaking in to your life about Parenting and Marriage?
