Earning credibility is a tough hill to climb for any young entrepreneur. You want people to notice you. You want to be remarkable and have people talking about you. Because if people ain’t talking about you…you ain’t doing it right! So, how do you build some serious cred in an online world? My friend Matt Wilson has put together 7 steps to create a name for yourself that will allow you to start turning your passion into profits.

One of the biggest problems most marketers find themselves facing is being seen and remembered. Being seen is the easy part, if you spam enough; of course you’re going to get seen! But what makes someone remember your name?

I find Twitter to be a HUGE leverage point for young entrepreneurs to build instant credibility. By using Twitter, I have found business partners, constantly get sent tons of free stuff (books, cd’s, food, etc.), made money, drove tons of traffic to my blog, been invited to private parties, met my idol, been on radio and TV shows and the list goes on and on. The only reason if you believe Twitter does not work, is if you don’t work. Plain and simple. You must have a reason to be on it in the first place or you will end up like a lost child in a theme park.
