Gareth Edwards: Is it worth becoming a vExpert… YES! My story…
“The biggest opportunities for me is opening up some amazing channels to the greatest minds in the industry. I have some amazing engaging chats with people that I did not think were possible. It is amazing to think about what I have learnt from some of these things even webinars and been able to put out into my work. Some parts have been made possible by things such as the vExpert party and getting to meet Pat Gelsinger, its great to see how much he loved the program and made time to say Hi to everyone that wanted to.” Read the full article.

“These are just a handful of resources you can pursue. You can always reach out to a vExpert, including myself with how you can profile your pursuits of the past 6 months to a year, or if you’re looking at building your community engagement level and don’t know where to start, don’t hesitate to reach out. As a VMware vExpert PRO My focus has been in the domestic Americas, Africa and APAC regions, with added emphasis on Mainland China and South Korea. You don’t HAVE to be in any of those locations… you can be anywhere on the planet! I tend to typically engage in English, but if you’re passionate enough to pursue this designation, I’m passionate enough to engage with you in your preferred language to the best of my translation ability!” Read the full article.

“Halfway through my first year I became jobless. I kept writing some blogs and talking to people. I continued as an independent contractor and actually found a few projects through the vExpert community! If you need more reasons to apply, tell me! I also noticed that for customers the vExpert title is becoming important, it is not a certification of course, but it shows that you are in touch with VMware. On top of that I hooked up with the guys at Comdivision and I now work together with them. You can check on our vExpert page that this a very important program for us!” Read the full article.
Michael Rebmann: How becoming a VMware vExpert changed my life
“Benefit 1: Becoming a VMware vExpert helps to you get visibility and more people finding your blog!
Why did my numbers go up starting in August 2019?
I had a customer looking at VMware Horizon, who was evaluating different thin clients. While troubleshooting something in their POC (proof of concept) environment, they asked me, if they would have other options like Igel, Dell, Fujitsu or Igel thin clients. Is there a better and even cheaper option?
This question and some research made me order a Raspberry Pi 4 model, which I wanted to test. I wanted to figure out and write about, if the Raspberry Pi 4 could become the ultimate thin client.
It was one simple question, which resulted in an idea for a blog article and then resulted in more visitors coming to my blog.
Until today this article is by far the most successful article with the most hits per month! Suddenly I had pingbacks from other vExperts, people were talking about this article on Twitter and VMware forums as well!
Benefit 2: People recognize your vExpert status (and credibility) and start to mention you on social media” Read the full article
