Social Networking And How Peer Pressure Can Cause Security Issues

If you are not using a social networking tool, then most likely you feel pretty ancient right now. Just about everywhere we look these days, social networking sites envelope us. As a matter of fact they slowly choke us to death or at least that is how it feels with the burden of having to join this and that site. If you don’t twitter, you are simply not cool these days. Alternatively, if you are not part of MySpace you are not in the loop. Stumblers are also a force to be reckoned with, especially for bloggers. But who says so anyway? Perhaps the millions of people who join these sites every month to converse with like minded people world wide. Or else the trend setters. Who knows, but what is clear is that social networking is robbing us of our time. Read more

Maintaining your Personal Brand Online

This seems like a really subtle thing but it's something that I've tried to do and that is establish a personal brand and maintain it throughout all of my online activities. Maintaining a personal brand using your own name or alias can actually be easier than maintaining a corporate brand, especially when it comes to social networks or blog comments. Using a company name within blog comments or setting up Facebook groups for a company often has that "spammy" feel to it. You look like your trolling for links instead of being an unbiased contributor to the conversation. I've been lucky in that my last name, Snook, is relatively unique and memorable. Ironically, as a teenager and with my desire to fit in with the crowd, I didn't want that uniqueness. I even thought changing my last name might be an option. Luckily, I didn't make that mistake and have finally in recent times come to embrace the name. I've been slowly expanding on that to the point where people just call me "Snook" (or Snookums, affectionately). And that's a good place to be. Here's a quick list of things you can do to help maintain your personal brand online: Read more

If YOU Were Starting Out in Blogging from Scratch - How Would You Promote Your Blog?

Over the past week I’ve shared five strategies that I’d use to promote my blog if I were starting from scratch again today. We started off by looking at how the majority of your efforts need to be focused upon Readers You Don’t Already Have (obvious but important) and then looked at the five strategies of:

1. Guest Posting
2. Networking
3. Advertising
4. Social Media
5. Viral Content

Together I believe that these five strategies pursued together would give a new blog a good start (note: pursuing just one of them might have some impact but together they are more effective). Read more

Why Social Networking and Internet Search are Essential?

A recent article on ERE.net a recent article by Kevin Wheeler (President and Founder of Global Learning Resources, Inc) discusses why it is important for recruiters to use social networking sites like LinkedIn to reach candidates on behalf of their clients. Professional recruiters, corporate employers are all using social networking sites to market themselves and connect with talented individuals that may at some time be a future employee. Large multinationals have developed their own company pages on LinkedIn and Facebook to present their brand as an employer of choice. You can use the same technology to promote yourself as an employee of choice, not convinced? Read on. (more…) Read more
