We used to tell people that you had 90 seconds to make a first impression when you met someone. Well, that really isn’t true anymore. The impression is made online BEFORE you get to meet someone. If you don’t control the information that is on Google about you, then that is an impression in itself.
If you have a business, or are in the job market for a career, or you want a promotion, it is critical for you to learn to have an online reputation that is a good one.
You need to be on 3-5 sites at a minimum to start getting a good reputation. Good ones to start are Facebook, Naymz, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Plurk. You don’t have to do everything at once, and that can be adjusted based on your profession. There are tons of Social Networks. Learn one that you can meet some friends and people that you have something in common with first. Each one has a unique reputation and personality.
Have a good photo, it doesn’t have to be a professional photo, just one that shows your personality.
Take baby steps if you need to, but do get out into the world. The internet Web 2.0 can open up so much for you, your life, and your career!
I am giving you the links to a handful of my favorite profile and networking sites below. Feel free to ask me to be a friend there!
