How are you building credibility on your blog? How long does/did it take to reach credibility? What one thing has contributed most to establishing credibility?

@deairby I would say I gained good credibility about a year and a half into blogging.  I don’t know if it was one particular thing that did it, but I did it through blog commenting, answering questions on social media & email, guest posting, and overall creating good content.  I think helping people out in your area of expertise is really what does the trick – the people you help (especially if they are bloggers) will typically write about you in their blogs or mention you on social media when you help them out.  Then their readers / followers see that, start following you, and after a while, you become well known in your niche!

@deairby  I tend to lend credibility to people whom simply get out there and do it on a consistent basis. Now whether or not I give them credibility based on their opinion is another thing entirely. But if it is street cred, “Nike”! Just do it!

Keep it real, don’t self inflate… Those are the things I personally look for in someone to consider credible.
