Your goal should be creating the perception that you are an expert in your field so that potential buyers will have comfort in the relationship they’d like to create with you. Having trust in this regard is very important, it should seem more like you are having a conversation online instead of a shouting match. The audience you target will come in if the words are right. This all is made even easier with social commentary sites such as YouTube and MySpace where the community is everything.
