Articles packed with good information naturally increase your perceived expert status.
Here are a few mistakes writers usually make when trying to show that they are an expert.
3 Common Mistakes
Mistake #1 - Believing you have to tell people you are an expert - If you have to tell people you are an expert, you are not communicating well and actually may not be an expert.
Mistake #2 - Mentioning accomplishments in your article - Who cares? To paraphrase a popular quote, readers will not care about how much you know until they know how much you care.
Mistake #3 - Using your resource box as an ego wall - The resource box in not about you. You should use it as a way to invite readers into your world.
