Building up credibility is a great way to establish trust and authority. Credibility is a long term investment that requires an extensive amount of effort in order for your business to become a trusted entity. Credibility is a great way to improve your business because it makes your business more reliable and trustworthy.
One way to build up credibility is to have your customer’s best interest. Make it easy, fast, reliable and safe for your customers to navigate your website or have helpful staffs on standby to serve your customers. Being ready to help your customers on whatever they need help establish credibility for your business.
The CEO represents the company. Having a trustworthy and great CEO will also give the company a good amount of credibility. Disclosing all your information without hiding anything from the customer makes your company more trustworthy. Giving out free trials to your customers can make your brand more credible since you are letting them sample your brand (showing them that your brand is better). Never make false promises or statements for it will diminish your credibility
Your business needs to have a good amount of credibility in order to become a trustworthy brand. Build up credibility through trust and having your customer’s best interest. Credibility makes your business a trustworthy and high quality brand. Your business will be easier to maintain through credibility.

This is one of the hardest things to do. The web by its nature makes it hard to prove you are an expert. One of the things which I am trying to do is provide consistent good quality information over time. If you can prove you provide accurate quality information over time you become credible. I think marketing deviant is doing much of the same thing in the long run. I like this blog because of this.
Thanks BC =). You have a good and unique blog on reviewing books =D. I recommend a book called “Three Kingdoms” which was translated by Moss Roberts. It is a very popular Chinese historical novel that I know you would enjoy!
You should write about building credibility in a blog , something most people miss as part of building a brand.

It’s very hard to establish credibility as an Indie business over the web. Professionalism, consistency, and availability are super important.
JTPratt- You can relate business to blog in a way =D. You would need to network a lot in order to establish good credibility for a blog.
CC- Sure is. Thanks for your input! Those 3 are super important all right!
