I have been an online entrepreneur for quite some time now but I recently felt like small, start-up, and/or non-professional looking websites have difficulties in gaining credibility of it's site and business to gain customers. Internet users seek credibility of the site before they do anything, and I knew that as an internet user myself. Thanks to all the scam artists online, people can't trust anything that's going on on the internet. Of course those multi-million dollar businesses have all the credibility that they can gain - word of mouth is more than enough to gain full trust for what they do for business.

I've spent most of my time helping other online entrepreneurs to succeed with online business, giving them tips in how to get effective web exposure without spending so much in online advertising. Recently, I've thought of a way to help online entrepreneurs with web exposure, and at the same time, raise money for charity to help the ones who are really in

need of our help. But then credibility and all this trust thing came into play again...and hard.

The first thing that people think when they visit my site is "oh, the charity money is not really going to charity. It's going to this kid's pocket." Many show doubt way before they even start surfing around to read what I have to say about what I'm trying to do with my site, but it seems like the scam artists do a better job than me. The only different between me and them is that my intentions to help is genuine, while their's are not. How can I prove that? Well, a little trust would be nice, and the writings that I put on my site may be quite convincing, but it comes down to hard proof. So I worked on a press release.

I've used PRWeb for my press release and the responses were better than expected. It did build some sort of credibility of my site, and I've received nice emails from people complimenting what I'm doing. But the press release didn't go for

long...so I tried out forums.

Forums gave me negative responses, which really put me down. They only showed doubts and criticized what I was doing, which I was really offended to because I really want to help. Check out http://www.ImBae.net, and you will see what I like doing; I like to help people.

If your site doesn't have credibility, then you will experience similar difficulties. Mine is probably worse because of this whole charity idea. I think that if I went straight out selling just links to make money for myself, I wouldn't be laughed at by webmasters.

I feel like I've been living in a different world. What I've experienced recently is full of doubts...there is no trust. It's depressing, but it's reality.
