Chapter 1. Online Branding-Business Social
Media Guide 1
Online Networking Guide
Establish
a professional email address. Don’t use
an email address from work if you work because if you lose that job, your email
address is gone.
If
you’re job-hunting, make your social media profile a live version of your
resume.
Make
yourself look good everywhere.
Create
a linkedin profile,
Be
active on it.
Show
your skills and knowledge, share
information.
Tweet
about relevant information for your profession.
Most
jobs are filled by a boss asking his workers if they know anyone good. Workers might know someone who’s good based
on their libkedin profile. If you’re
sharp about the industry, someone who follows you might recommend you for a job
if you live close by.
Career
counselors and recruiting are not dead industries but they’re going down as
employers look for workers through social media and asking their workers who
know people through social media.
If you
want a job, you have to meet people on and offline.
Don't
worry about loss of privacy. Just don't put your vital statistics up like
birthdate, place of birth or SSN.
If an
employer searches your name online and finds almost nothing, a few might think
it's good but most will think you're behind the times.
If you
have stuff up showing you partying or doing silly things, get rid off it.
If
other people have stuff about you up, ask them to get rid of it.
Virtually
all big employers say they look up a candidate's linkedin profile before they
decide t ointerview them.
Virtually
all recruiters and employers say they look through linkedin profiles for
employees. Find employees wastes time
and costs money. It's easy to use
linkedin.
Participate
intelligently.
Define what information you need
and what you are trying to accomplish by networking. Your purpose in networking is to get to know
people who can provide information regarding careers
and leads.
Practice a concise, one-minute
presentation of yourself so that people will know what you do.
List everyone you know who are
potential prospects: family members, friends, faculty, neighbors, classmates,
alumni, bosses, co-workers and community associates.
Attend meetings of organizations
in your field of interest and get involved.
Ask your networking prospects
for advice not for a job.
Start off encounters with a firm
handshake, eye contact and a warm smile.
Your contacts expect you to represent yourself with your
best foot forward.
Stay politely persistent with
your leads and build momentum.
It's better to have a few
meaningful conversations than many introductions.
The person you are networking
with may not have a job opening but he or she may know someone who is
hiring. Expand your network by obtaining
additional referrals each time you meet someone new.
Stay organized and track your
networking meetings.
Networking should be ongoing.
Put a profile up because it
might give you more business or somebody might see it and offer you a new
opportunity. If people don't know you
exist, they can't offer you opportunities.
Your linkedin profile is your online business card, your resume and your
cover letter all in one.
Support your online networking
with real human contact. Set up phone
calls, attend live events and send snail mail notes to people you
interact with.
Craft a good profile headline.
Put up a good picture.
Include information about all
educational institutions you've attended.
Mention any honors or awards
you've won.
Develop a professional summary
statement which states that you're open to new ideas and projects.
Use good keywords in the
specialty section.
Update your status monthly. Tell people what you're doing.
Join groups within the network
and display the group badges on your profile.
Set your linkedin profile to
"public" and set up a unique url for your profile like
linkedin.com/in/yourname).
Share your work on your
profile. Offer knowledge that helps
people.
Direct people to your website,
blog, or twitter feed.
Have
your twitter name be your real name.
Use
facebook to inform your friends as to what type of job you’re looking for and
where.
A
status update informs friends you’re still looking for a job.
If you
have a blog, say you’re looking for a job.

Create a Free Job Resume
Create
a free job resume online. Don’t put your
birthdate or SSN on it.
Some
employers might pick it up because they do internet searches for free resumes
to look at.
about.me
flavors.me
wordpress.com
linkedin.com
Create a Blog on
Wordpress or Blogspot
Some
people create blogs as a networking tool to try to establish themselves as an
expert in their business. With google,
you create a free blog through blogspot.com which has your Google+ profile
right there beside the blog. Sometimes
these things work but most of the time nobody gives a crap unless your blog is
stellar and offers real information.
I've
seen some really bad blogs in some fields where the person starts then quits
after writing a few articles. It looks
bad on a job search if an employer looks up your blog and sees that you have
not contributed an article in the past three years. I think most people quit blogs about a month
after starting them. It's best to
totally eliminate it.
I saw a
person calling themselves the science guru of the world. She started a blog in 2007, wrote about three
articles. It was still there last time I
looked.
Blogs
seem old school but they’re a free, easy way to create an online identity.
Keep it
current.
wordpress.com
blogspot.com
Create a Youtube Channel
Lots of
people create a youtube channel which you can do for free very easily then post
videos up of you talking or doing something.
I think
youtube is where it’s it at right now.
People don’t bother blogging much anymore. They just record themselves talking.
Keep it
current.
No Online Presence, Good
or Bad
I guess
it depends on the field to some extent.
A journalist or research scientist should have some kind of online
presence to show they’re actively doing something in their field but beyond
that, I think most social media is meaningless, frivolous garbage so be
careful. Too much of a social media
presence makes you look like a trivial, stupid, brainwashed clone.
To me,
no online presence means you got some dignity about yourself, like you’re not
desperate to be part of the big, phony in-crowd. There is so much crap out there that it’s
refreshing to find an individual above it all.

Buy the Domain of your
Name if Possible
godaddy.com

Use Google+ as a Job
Search Tool
Google+ is google’s social network. Join by starting a blog at blogspot.com,
joining youtube or getting a free email address at gmail.com.
Put up a profile of yourself at Google+. Keep it professional. People can easily find it doing an internet
search of your name.
You can post public updates at your google+ profile.
When you use Google+ to post public updates, people might
find them doing internet searched in your field.
With Google+, you can contact people that are also google+
members.
Find a person using the search bar at the top to discover if
he or she is using google+.
If you want a person to notice you, add him to your Google+
circle to follow what he/ she posts. Comment
on his posts or repost his posts using his name in your post.
Use Google+ Communities to find communities in your
field. Use the dropdown menu. Learn from these communities. Post stuff up to get noticed.
If you want employers to find you when they Google your
name, set up a google+ profile.
If you were an expert in your field as a result of your
posts, it would look good when people googled you.
When you use google.com search while logged in to google+,
google gives you results of other people on google+ in your field.
Plaxo, Ning, Ryze, Xing
Plaxo.com is owned by the cable
TV company Comcast.
Plaxo is a smaller
niche-oriented social network for business purposes that looks like it’s
rising. It attracts the bigshots like
CEOs.
Some others are:
ning.com

xing.com

premium version.
Make yourself useful and worthy
of other people’s attention.
Plaxo has a company section.

Ryze is a big bulletin board/
forum.
Xing has a Groups section with
many for Jobs and Careers.
Xing has a marketplace for job
seekers.
Xing is Euro-centric. It’s big in Europe.
Use Pinterest to Develop
a Professional Image
Pinterest
is an online photo bulletin board where users can pin pictures to share.
Pinterest
is a visual display.
Set up
a Pinterest account.
Use it
to post up educational pictures of things in your field to develop your brand.
Use it
to research othrs in your field on it.
Get
pics from all over the web.
Put
your pinterest handle on your resume.
Employers look it up and see a cool collection of pics in their field.
Workfolio Costs Money
Workfolio.com offers personal
websites that they try to market as geared for people looking for work. They say start for free. I went to their pricing department. It’s about $10 a month. You can get free websites at wordpress.com,
wix.com and weebly.com.
Too Much Online
Networking, Meet Face-to-Face
Do internet searches for local
business networking.
Join your local chamber of
commerce.
Check the newspaper for business
events.
Go to trade shows.
Hand our business cards.
meetup.com is the biggest real
world meeting website.
Linkedin has local networking
events.
Networking for
Professionals, networkingforprofessionals is trying to go national in the U.S.
dctechevents.com, washington, dc
Black People Professional
Network
ICABA stands for Identifying,
Connecting, Activating, the Black Accomplished.
icabaonline.com
You must be referred or invited
by someone who is already a member.
Be Careful With Your
Social Media for Vanity and Obsolescence
Most
people stay current with a facebook or linkedin profile but a lot of people
make a google plus profile then forget about it. When you send a gmail, people can get access
to your profile.
I’ve
seen ones that looked way too over the top.
I’ve
seen several haven’t been touched for years.
If
people google your name, they might get your google+ profile.
Attract
employers to you with your google plus profile by making it look good but not
arrogant.

Business
Networking Websites/ Job Networking Websites
These websites are generally not
the facebooks, friendster and myspaces you'll find at
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_networking_websites.
They're more about business,
career and job networking. You can still
use myspace and the social networks to post a businesslike profile which others
might come upon and network with you.
Make a list of business
associations related to your industry.
Check out local chapters of these business organizations and the
chambers of commerce.

ideas.

Business
Clubs Info
I read somewhere that Thomas
Edison and that bunch of 19th century business moguls used to meet regularly at
business clubs. Based on my research,
all that seems gone nowadays except for at business schools on college campuses
and England which has more business clubs than anywhere else.
Of course, there's business
networking on the internet but it's not like meeting someone at a local
business social club who connects you with an opportunity.
When I was reading a few books
on how to set up a world class world trade city, they encouraged business clubs
where people from diverse backgrounds in business came to eat, drink and talk
together.
City chamber of commerces would
do themselves a favor by opening up their own business clubs.

Trade Show
Websites
Trade shows are a great way to network into a
job or sell your stuff if you’re running a business. Your best bet is to go to your trade or
professional organization and ask them about trade shows and conventions then go
even if you have drive or take a plane and once you get there, go around and
talk to everybody.
The way you do it is talk for awhile, get
their business card and either ask about job opportunies in their companies or
follow up a week later.
You might find a book about trade shows at
#659.152 or T396 at the library.

Online Branding Guide
Personal Branding Sounds
Hokey
I was talking to a 20 year old kid who was trying to develop
his personal brand on twitter by getting followers. I thought to myself how far has the human
race gone down when all the brainwashed flakes which is almost everybody as far
as I’m concerned are scrambling to develop a personal brand.
When has the quest for money, power and fame replaced the
search for inner peace and purpose in life?
The world has always probably been more about greed than inner peace but
I understand the desperate need to EARN MONEY so here’s my little blurb about
personal branding.
The thing is that you are a fabulous being. It doesn’t matter how fabulous you are, if
you ain’t on the internet, nobody cares enough to find out about you. It’s a big game. I see it as selling your soul. The pure artist does what he loves, that’s
it. It doesn’t work that way. I’ve seen everybody sell their souls. I saw some chick musician go around in a room
handing out a hundred promotional copies of her CD. There are only a few Taylor Swifts that the
bigshots are willing to market all to hell. Everybody else has to work like
crazy.
You are a holistic essence.
What do you stand for?
What is unique and good about you?
What do you do well?
What do you like to do?
Put this stuff on your resume and cover letters.
Next, brand yourself by getting an online presence by
joining:
linkedin
facebook
twitter
ning
ryze
myspace
Set up profiles specifically for your
professional career.
Befriend anyone that might be able to help you.
Pass out business cards.
Blog about your field.
Follow blogs and websites in your industry.
Subscribe to websites and profiles in your field and leave
comments.
Write content for websites in your field. Ask if you can contribute articles to them.
Tell people what you're looking for. People love to give advice.
Be a twitter thought leader sending useful tweets in your
field. Follow people in your field.
Have a one-minute sales pitch ready.
Use a professional email address.
Your Online Presence or
Brand Info
Some people have devised ideas on how to create a squeaky
clean online brand. Personally, I like
to see bohemian character not some manufactured image.
The first thing you do is if there is anything negative
about you on any websites that you can control, get rid of it all like your
picture dancing naked at the school toga party, your rant on your right to
masturbate in the public washroom, etc.
Make your facebook, myspace or myyearbook.com profile look
like it belongs in a Disney movie.
Personal branding is all this stuff they tell you to do with
your name on the internet.
Get rid of all undesirable stuff.
Buy the domain for your name then create a
"professional" website either for career or business.
Use facebook partially for a personal profile buit keep it
professional.
Set up a profile on linkedin.com
Set up a video resume, visualcv.com. Put it either on your own website, on youtube
or some video resume website. Put a link
to it on your resume.
If you create a website with your own name like joecool.com,
it will be the first website up on an internet search.
Create a profile at jobfox.com.
You can go on twitter.com, create an account with your name
as the handle which you use to send out helpful, useful tips to others in your
field or in life in general.
Create a blog using your name in the name of it or in the
first paragraph.
samizdata.net/blog/glossary.html
tryingtoblog.com, Learn to Blog
onlinepublishing.suite101.com
directoryblogger.com, Directory Blogger.
blogger.com
All your profiles and blogs should be a mix of homey
personal business professional. When you
need a job, ask for it on these profiles and blogs.
Join a professional association, asaecenter.org.
Get Rid of Negative
Internet Stuff About You
If you
do not want something about you known by an employer or potential employer, do
not put it online. Once you post
information online, you lose control over where it goes.
Try
search engines to explore your online identity.
Find the bad stuff.
Go through one-by-one, either deleting stuff yourself or
asking/ demanding with legal threats for others to get rid of stuff about you.
Personal Branding For
Your Job Search
Showcase your unique talents.
Stand out in a crowd.
What is your identity and spirit?
Develop a blog or personal website that reflects who you
are.
Use linkedin.com and twitter.
If You Have a Job, Be
Wary about Using Social Media
Many
companies have Social Media Use policies for their employees in two ways:
1.)
What you do generally.
2.)
What you say about work and the company.
Look it
up and read it.
Many
people have gotten fired because their social media seemed unprofessional and
unethical even though it has northing to do with work. If you’re a teacher and work as a stripper on
the side, use different names.
Branding One-Liners
Use
social networking sites, such as linkedin and twitter to either connect with
professionals who might network you into a job or there is good stuff there if
a potential employer is checking you out.
Search
for recruiters and job boards by typing the words;
recruiter
your job industry
jobs
your industry
Follow
industry experts or publications.
Join professional associations to network. Most of them offer education and development,
networking, conferences, etc.
Create a public persona as a helpful, unemotional,
professional person. Be simple. Say this is who I am, this is what I do. Leave all the cute stuff out of it.
Be helpful, not phony.
Don't go overboard. I
once signed up for a free music newsletter.
I started getting this newsletter something like twice a week. The guy was trying to sell a music
directory. He was offering little
tidbits of minor knowledge. It was a
nuisance. I had to get off it.
Try to be friendly at first.
Don't come right out an say I need a job. Make friends with people who can offer you a
job at a later time.
Do something helpful and original to stand out.
It's all about them, not you. People want something that will benefit
them. A boss doesn't care about you
unless he can make money off you. Tailor
everything on your webpage to how you can help people.
I was looking to do a product pitch to some CEO. I found his facebook page. It was all about him as a ballroom
dancer. I thought this guy does not have
his head in business. I didn't bother
with a pitch.
A friend of mine was looking for a teaching job. His facebook page is all about him as a
skier. I know for a fact he went on at
least five interviews to obscure schoolboards in the middle of nowhere but he
didn't get a job. I know why. He didn't come off like a serious,
professional guy.
It's better to act like you have traditional values rather
than coming off like a revolutionary activist.
Research the companies you want to work for. Get the emails of bosses. Send them a nice-sounding email now and then.
Create a simple professional name for your websites, blog,
email address, twitter handle, etc.
Most people start a blog in order to build up some
professional credibility but it takes passion to write a new article every
week. Most blogs are abandoned or
neglected severely after three months.
Don'' do it unless you can do it well.
Develop friendships on your webpage then casually but not
desperately hint that you are looking for new opportunities. Ask for ideas and advice.
Check out the social media websites of the companies you
want to work for to get a feel for them.
Social Media Subtle
Brown-Noser 1
Get involved in your field in a volunteering, publishing or
activist manner such that people know you.
If somebody puts your name in a search engine, will they get a few
positive articles about you relating to your field? What about locally?
If an individual's name comes up who has gotten his or her
name in the news as a volunteer or leader in the field, that's a good sign that
this individual is on the ball, not a slacker.
Some people have blogs, online newsletters or personal
websites where they describe what they're doing in their field of work and
what's goin' on. This is excellent
publicity for them.
An easy way to get free internet presence is to use one of
those free website hosting sites like weebly.com or angelfire.com to post your
e-resume up. Your e-resume will have
several references to your field. Even
if you have a job, you might get a better offer.
There are basic techniques you can use to get your website
higher visibility in order to get picked up in a high ranking by a search
engine which I discuss in my business book.
Try to use as many hyperlinks to major websites as possible
and use metatags. The key term is your
profession or the name of your field.
Use it in your website as much as possible.
There are about three rules for writing in your blog/
website related to your field:
1.) Be helpful.
2.) Be positive.
Don't badmouth anyone.
3.) Have as many hyperlinks as possible to companies,
organizations, websites, newsletters, etc. in your field. This will help you get picked up by internet
searches as well as make your website look like you're trying to be helpful.
On your personal blog/ website, you can put up little
presentations in podcast form as though you're hosting your own show or
teaching people about something in your field.
They click on the podcast icon and they see you there talking about
something.
Beyond this, go to trade shows, industry events, job fairs
and social events.
Some people host a TV or radio show locally in their field
such as the cable TV access channel.
Some people write articles about their field for the
newspaper and magazines.
You could teach a class, conduct a workshop, produce a
how-to CD, write articles for websites or write a book in your field.
If you write articles or host an internet TV show about your
field, this gives you a way to contact all the bigshots in your field and ask
them for an interview about the subject matter for the article/ show not a job
interview but the thing is that they get to know who you are through this.
People like people who they socialize with such as through
local social service clubs and the local golf club.
Local media always need a person in some field to do a
commentary on whatever story they're working on. You do this by either befriending them
locally, telling them you're available as an expert for TV interviews, etc. or
get listed as an expert in some of them expert directories where media come looking
for an expert when they need an interview or a sound byte.
A way to use the internet to your advantage is to put your
name on it associated with positive activities like set up a blog/ website
where you talk about how you're raising money to help homeless, mentally ill
people.
Facebook research can be used to learn about companies
you're applying to and possibly learn a little bit about the people who will be
interviewing you.
You could use alumni connections from your Alma Mater to
help you. If you are interviewing with a
company, search for alumni who are working there. Talk to them.
When you seek and maintain professional connections via
social networking sites, follow the same etiquette you would if you were
networking by phone and in person.
Put anything up on the internet that you wouldn't mind your
mother seeing and nothing else.
Use your social media page or website to come across as a
serious-minded, helpful person trying to make a contribution.
Investigate potential employers.

Employers Will Type Your
Name Into a Search Engine
Nowadays when an employer is down to a few people for a job,
they'll check them out online to see who looks best out there in cyberspace.
Don't put anything up on the internet with your real name on
it or your face (because of facial recognition technology) that might
compromise your future plans to run for political office or make your mother
feel ashamed that she created you because if you do, there is a good chance
somebody will find it at some point in time.
They're outing past porn stars all the time. Some girl did some porno 25 years ago. Now she's a high school English teacher and somebody
finds her old porn scene. It's probably
facial recognition technology.
Let's say you're into casual sex dating for fun. Don't use your real name, scratch your face
out of your picture with any photo-editing program because it's a personal,
private thing you do that a lot of people think is immoral and they don't need
to know.
What you do in your personal life is nobody's business but
your own but it doesn't work that way in real life. If your presence is on the internet and some
prosecutor, political opponent or business enemy wants to screw you, they will
find the dirt and expose it.
I've used alt.com, fling.com, flirt.com and a few
others. I always blank out my face and
say I'm in a people-oriented profession.
A lot of people I deal with wouldn't approve of my alternative lifestyle
and don't need to know about it anyway.
What you post now may be on the Internet forever. You might even have enemies like vindicative
ex-lovers who post incriminating comments or photos of you up.
If you're applying for a white collar or professional job,
don't put it above your potential employer to check you out on the popular
search engines and social networking websites.
If you are an internet blogger, have a personal website or
otherwise do something on the internet where you use your real name, beware
that employers and potential employers are increasingly punching the names of
employees and potential employees into search engines to see what comes up.
If something sexual, extremely religious, political or
something else controversial comes up, they may fire you or choose not to hire
you.
Some guy who worked as a CPA moonlighted as an escort and
used his real name in his website ad. He
was fired.
In order to protect yourself, don't do anything questionable
on the internet using your real name.
Use a pseudo-name or handle instead.
One guy was applying for jobs as a lawyer and couldn't
figure out why he couldn't get a job since he looked so good on paper. He eventually found out that a former girlfriend
had trashed him on some websites geared for women to vent their frustrations at
getting dumped.
The guy filed a civil lawsuit against her saying it was
libel. It's just like printing lies in a
newspaper according to him.
I don't know what became of the lawsuit but the lesson is
clear. Do a search engine search of your
name and clean up any bad press or change your name a bit to nullify negative
search results.
There was some other guy who put up some silly video about
himself dancing on youtube, using his real name. He thought he was being cool but he
blacklisted himself.
You can be sly about it to create a fake profile making
yourself look like a saint. Create a
myspace profile about all your phony volunteer work and how you're helping to
save the whales and the icebergs. Post
pictures of all your friends looking straightlaced. Put a link with MADD.

cheerleaders: it's all fun and games until your cheerleader stripper pole
photos show up on facebook.
All Emails, Texts and
Twitter is Public Domain
Never say anything in an electronic message that you
wouldn't want appearing in public, attributed to you because it's easy for
hackers to get that stuff, some people think it's public domain anyway while
others reveal it publicly either to get you or just for fun.
Background Check Websites
Employers use background check websites to check out new
potential employees. Use a free
background check website to see what they say about you.

Research, research.
ucd.ie/careers/ucdcareers
Show your knowledge.
Social Media Way to Find
a Job 2
Make a professional profile on facebook, linkedin.com and
other social media websites.
Start a twitter account offering some kind of advice and
news for your field. It muight network
you into a job.
Look up employers using their social media profiles to get
clues about how you might approach them for a job other than the usual way.
Try to develop relationships online with people who have the
power to give you a job.
There are forums that focus on almost every subject and
profession. Employers sometimes go on
these forums to look for potential employees.
Many professional organizations have job boards on their
websites. Join the professional
association in yuour field.
Create a blog, contribute articles to article websites, go
on facebook, linked, groups.yahoo.com, groups.google.com or myspace, put up videos
and/ or podcasts either offering general information about your field or
offering people to come along as you search for a job in that field, offering
practical tips.
If it's a general blog in the field, in your profile, say
you're looking for a job.
You might attract an employer or headhunter or some other
job seeker might get a job and refer you to that place too.
Just like you're posting positive information about yourself
on the internet, do not post negative, frivolous stuff like pictures of you
drunk at a party or a picture of yourself as president of a BDSM club.
Some people post to their followers on facebook and twitter
that they're looking for a job and would appreciate any possible leads.
Job boards are kind of like social communities where
employers put up job wanted ads, usually for the people in their local
area. Find job boards in your field for
your city, state or region.
You can apply for a job anywhere and the employer can do a
first interview either over the phone or via video-conference like skype.

Spam Ruined E-Mail: Send
a Fax
Most businesses still use fax machines. If you're concerned that your e-mail resume
and cover letter will be destroyed by a company's anti-spam software before it
ever gets read, go back to sending faxes which you can do over the
internet. You don't need a fax machine
to send a fax to a fax machine over the internet.
Even if your e-mail gets through, a manager will see the
title and delete it. All faxes get
through in hard copy and you have more control in setting up the page to look
good.
Another advantage is that it's very hard to find e-mail
addresses but there are fax directories around.
