I like "strategist," "practictioner," and "specialist," myself. I like that idea; that “expert” can't be a self-appointed title. I like “strategist,” “practictioner,” and “specialist,” myself.

I am really skeptical about social media "gurus." I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm sure some are very good and can add value. I just happen to know a few guys who've written a junky little Facebook app and are now suddenly calling themselves "experts." I don't think "expert" can be a self-appointed title - you're only an expert when a lot of people consider you to be one for the field that you're in. Ton of great links to follow up on, thanks!

You are well liked because you are authentic — the same online and off. When some people attempt to build online and offline brands, it creates a clash and even a brand crash in person.

Funny. I never considered you a social media expert because you're so well grounded in communication. So please don't take it to heart. Think of it differently.

A decent analogy might be that if you are plumber who happens to be especially good with wrench doesn't become a wrench expert. They remain a plumber. However, a wrench expert might never be a plumber, which certainly becomes a challenge when the sink starts to leak.

All my best,
Rich
