Online Reputation Management Covering Up Your Digital Dirt Fotosenmeer.nl Fotolia.com When youre in career transition and connecting with influencers, recruiters and hiring managers, many of them will investigate you online to form their initial impression. Will they find any digital dirt? Digital dirt is anything negative or unflattering posted about you and sometimes by you online. Where digital dirt could be hiding As we know from our look at how recruiters search for candidates online, 94% of them use social media. You also cant forget about the most basic online research tool the search engine. You must conduct your own web searches regularly, to see what recruiters and hiring managers will discover when they type in your name (both with and without quotes). Manage your content and settings When youve posted something yourself, for example an inappropriate photo on Facebook, sometimes you can simply delete it and the problem is solved. Since Facebook can and does change their policies, you should regularly review your privacy settings on Facebook to control who can find your personal profile and view your posts. On a related note, on LinkedIn you should be aware of your settings for activity broadcasts this determines whether your connections will be notified every time you change your profile. If youre currently employed, you likely dont want your employer seeing these types of changes. Bury the dirt you cannot delete Other times, though, things may show up on social media sites or search engines that someone else has posted perhaps with a grudge against you. Avoid getting into arguments or mud slinging. Youll come across much more professionally if you take the high road. As with the LinkedIn settings example, the search results may not necessarily be negative, but still not something you want an employer or prospective employer to see. There may even be someone else with your name, and you want to avoid any confusion or fallout from their digital dirt. Since you cannot easily remove content posted on other peoples sites, your only option is to bury it below the first, second or even third page of search results. And the only way to do that is to post enough of your own high-quality material. You need an intensive posting schedule that includes: Regular blog posts on your own site Guest posts on related sites that have a high level of authority in your industry Social media activity (here are my social media tips for executives) Essentially, whatever you post online should be pertinent to you and communicated positively and professionally as you continue to build your personal brand. With attention to detail coupled with an assertive effort, you can minimize any online negativity associated with your name and force it lower in the search results. If people really want the whole story about you theyll keep looking past the first page, but if by then theyve seen numerous positive examples of your relevant content, youve minimized any potential brand damage and effectively positioned yourself as an expert in your chosen field.

B2B Marketing On Social Media The Dos Donts

B2B Marketing On Social Media The Dos Donts We all know that social media is an invaluable tool for marketing and communicating with potential customers and actual customers but in addition to being crucial for B2C marketing, it can also be an extremely effective platform for B2B marketing too. As with B2C marketing, B2B marketing on social media allows you to get your company directly in front of a potential client or partner,  enabling you to make that valuable first connection and potentially make your company stand out from the crowd. When it comes to B2B marketing on social media, as with B2C marketing, the world is watching so its important to get it right first time because with this kind of marketing, you dont get a second chance to make a good first impression. With that in mind, Ive come up with a list of the top Dos and Donts for B2B marketing  on social media. DO:   Get The Details Right: Whatever kind of publication or company youre approaching, its imperative that you get  key details like the company name right in any tweets or messages you send out. Why? Because in addition to  making a bad impression on the company youre approaching, if you make a major mistake like calling the company Build A Relationship:   As with most  marketing, when it comes to B2B marketing on social media, taking the time to build a relationship with the companies youre trying to target first before you make that initial sales pitch can really make a difference. If you do this, youll start to make yourselves known to the company youre trying to target so when they do get that sales message, it wont be coming completely out of the blue from a company theyve never head of before. You never know, if you start to build a relationship, they could even be the ones approaching you to find out more about what your business has to offer Choose Your Platform Wisely:   Chosen Twitter as your main platform for B2B marketing? Thats great but theres a chance that Twitters not the preferred social media channel for the companies youre trying to target. Before you start firing messages off, check out the companys account on that channel and see when the last time they not only posted an update but also interacted with someone on it was. Why? Because some companies only use platforms like Twitter to broadcast messages, rather than interact. If the company hasnt posted anything in months or hasnt replied to recent messages, it suggests theyre not active on the platform so you could be wasting your time trying to contact them on this platform. DONT:   Stalk Anyone:   Theres no harm in following up messages if you dont get a reply but you need to be careful not to go too OTT and end up resembling some kind of stalker. Remember, the world really is watching and you risk coming across as a bit desperate if you keep messaging the same company again and again without any reply a trait which is definitely not attractive to potential new clients. Churn Out The Same Message:   OK, so you might be targeting the same kind of companies and the message might essentially be the same (eg. introducing your new tool) but you need to be careful not to just relentlessly churn out the same message. Why? Because if youre using a platform like Twitter, the company youve contacted can click on your profile and view all your most recent tweets and if they see that youve been sending the same message to all of their competitors it isnt going to give them the impression that you actually care about their business. In this scenario, taking a bit of time to write a bespoke message really can make all the difference. Miss The Mark: All companies have their own brand, tone and personality so its always worth bearing this in mind before you approach them. Why? Because if  you approach them in completely the wrong way and your messaging is way off, theres no way youre going to strike a chord with that company and theyre just going to think youre another company that doesnt really get their brand. Instead, look at the kind of messaging theyre putting out across their social channels and try and create a message which is just up their street. For example, if the company youre approaching is really relaxed and their messaging is fun, going in with a really corporate, formal message isnt going to hit the mark. So there you go; a few key Dos and Donts for B2B marketing on social media. Of course there are a lot of factors which will affect your B2B social media marketing strategy, such as industry and the products/services youre marketing, but hopefully this post should act as a starting point when trying to create your B2B marketing strategy for social media.
