Authority Sites - Tips & Questions

How does one go about creating an authority site on a topic?

For example, one of my specialties is in PPC/Classified Ads advertising for independent local business professionals.

I was thinking of making a blog and videos showing the tips and techniques I use to get great conversions.

My plan being:

1.) Create useful videos on youtube to get subscribers. Video topics will cover PPC & Craigslist Posting & Landing Pages Etc...
2.) Redirect users from the youtube videos to my blog with more information by mentioning it in my videos at the end and start.
3.) Promote PPC related helpful affiliate offers that I review with videos (that are actually good), to my visitors from my blog.

My main concern is the time it will take to build up the subscriber list since my only traffic source is youtube.

What do you think of this plan? Does anyone know any PPC related affiliate offers I can look into to see if they are any good? Does anyone have any tips or suggestions they can share with me & other members?

    I hear this all the time from so many marketers....'oh, I'm going to create an 'authority site' on whatever topic'

    The first thing to say is that 'you' don't decide if you're site will ever become an 'authority site'

    Just because you have a site with 50...100... or 500 pages doesn't automatically turn it into an 'authority site'

    Any 'authority site' EARNS it's reputation and it's authority on the subject. That could take months or even years to attain, if you do everything right.

    Walmart Didn't Become a Mega Retail Chain Overnight! It had to Earn and prove that they were the real deal and provide customers what the wanted. Focus on Content and Customer care, Authority will come naturally if its meant to be!

    Well I think maybe there was a misunderstanding. I know I won't be an authority over night, but I'm hoping with 'good content' that I can get followers that like what I have to share and that hopefully then it will turn into something later.

    Just not sure if youtube is the best way to go about starting that.
