Exposed: EzineArticles ‘expert status’

Wednesday, 23 May 2007 — by Wayne Smallman

Fooled by the catchy headline? Sorry, but the only one being exposed here is me .. via EzineArticles awarding me Expert Author status.

You see, I turned ten t’other day, when I submitted my: “Manage personal brand like a porn star” and: “10 Personal Branding habits of the pros” articles to my Ezine Articles account.

To be honest, I never thought they’d go for the porn star thing, knowing how strict they are with regards to editorial approval, title wording, as well as the overall theme of an article.

As a contributer to EzineArticles, once you break through the glass ceiling of ten articles, people like me are given a slightly different treatment.

I suppose the ten article threshold is there because a lot of people might run out of steam before then.

Not I!

So, what can I write about next?
