Therefore, they often have the appearance of being an everyman. It&#8217;s hard to spot an expert at first because they make everything so simple.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The distinction between the two is the simplicity of HOW they share their knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"tph-adrotate-shortcode-wrap\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-re-a-communicator\">You\u2019re a Communicator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a keeper of knowledge isn\u2019t enough to qualify you as an expert. You need to be an effective knowledge distributor, and that means being a confident communicator. And of course, podcasting is one of the ways to share your expertise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll go further than that &#8211; I\u2019d argue that podcasting is THE best way to share your knowledge. Think about it for a minute. As a podcaster, you have the opportunity to share your message in the most natural way &#8211; by talking directly to your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those that are listening can make an assessment of your expert status based on what you say, and how you say it. They can give you a large amount of time, because they don\u2019t have to MAKE time in their day, unlike full attention mediums like video or text. And due to the serial nature of podcasting &#8211; you\u2019ll build trust with your audience throughout every minute they\u2019re with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-don-t-have-to-be-an-expert\">You Don\u2019t Have to Be an Expert<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An important thing to remember is that you don\u2019t have to be an expert to add value. Let me explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spent six months working in the outdoor advertising industry. That makes it sounds quite glamorous &#8211; but the reality was, I was selling adverts on buses. After my first day of the induction course, I was labelled as an \u2018outdoor media expert\u2019 by one of the trainers. When I politely challenged her, she asked me the question<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWill you know more than the person you are selling to?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I nodded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell then, there you go &#8211; you\u2019re an expert.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire notion that knowing more makes you an expert can be dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I don\u2019t think you need to KNOW more. You\u2019ll always know less than someone &#8211; but your ability to communicate knowledge, in a simple way, will set you apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cat_and_dogs-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"cat making a podcast for dogs\" class=\"wp-image-15979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cat_and_dogs-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cat_and_dogs-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cat_and_dogs-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cat_and_dogs-290x163.jpg 290w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cat_and_dogs-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cat_and_dogs-445x250.jpg 445w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cat_and_dogs-635x357.jpg 635w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cat_and_dogs-580x326.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cat_and_dogs-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cat_and_dogs-890x501.jpg 890w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cat_and_dogs-1270x714.jpg 1270w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cat_and_dogs.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-tips-to-expertly-share-your-message\">4 Tips to Expertly Share Your Message<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are four simple ways to help you communicate your knowledge more effectively.
