Questioning the Experts or Aspiring to Be One - Online Article Writers Choose

If you are an online article writer you can promote yourself as an expert by posing as an authority and claiming you have attained wisdom and knowledge. Or you can stand aside from the so-called experts and stand on your observations, experience and talents. Perhaps you have achieved the pinnacle and can do all of this. Either way you need to know where you stand.

How can a reader know where you stand? They may read an excellently written article by a great writer who in reality knows very little about their subject matter. Perhaps it is the only article they have ever written on the subject, they may in fact know very little about the topic past that one article. Are they an expert? Certainly not, but they might appear to be from the reader's perception. What if someone has written lots of articles on the subject?

Well in fact this might indeed be a better indication, but like many who follow the online article venue, I too have the same question, because it seems like the numbers are irrelevant really, but some believe otherwise and it is an interesting point of contention. Shouldn't we question the so-called experts; isn't this what Einstein indeed also tells us to do? He advises us to question the experts.

Personally as an online article author, I am so busy questioning the experts, I might feel slighted if one were to proclaim me one, although it appears there is no escaping it, as Einstein admitted later in life how he lambasted the experts only to become one himself? Indeed, isn't life funny that way? I have a problem with lawyers too, does that mean I will become a lawyer too some day? I hope not?

The point I am making here is; are you questioning the Experts or aspiring to be one? Every Online Article Writer must decide this for them selves. Are you a real expert or are just faking it until you make it?
