Effective ways of Establishing Your Online Reputation
After you've established a system
for determining what people are saying about you, your brand, and your industry
(and possibly even your competitors reputations!), it's time to establish your
online reputation. Developing your brand's voice is an art and a science all
rolled into one.
As you start establishing your
online reputation, be sure to consider the following:
Remember that quality of relationships trumps quantity of relationships
every time. Hiring a college student to get 100 of their friends to
"like" your page may increase your numbers, but isn't going to help
you have genuine brand ambassadors. There are no sustainable shortcuts.
Keep it fresh. If the comments on your blog and social networks are
old, search engines won't be as fond of you. Share quality content on a regular
basis for the best results.
Focus where you get the best results. There will always be a new,
hot social network, but it won't always be a good fit for your brand.
Realistically consider your time management options and your probable success
with this medium, and don't spread your influence too thin.
Create entertaining messages that people want to share. Remember
that they're interested in enchanting their own audiences as well.
Pull it all together. If you've done SEO keyword research, by all
means work those terms into your blog titles and posts as artfully and
relevantly as possible. Some people write "for Google," but people
with the most vibrant brands online write content for people to read, enjoy,
and share.
"Picture"
your brand as a positive online resource via using visuals to communicate.
This includes photography, illustrations, infographics, cartoons, videos, and
much more.Remember that videos are shared
more on Facebook than any other type of file. If you can create a great video
or link a popular one to your brand in a clever way, then by all means share
it.
Cultivate relationships with your most enthusiastic brand supporters
online. Nobody will share your updates faster or defend you more
passionately and from a place of credibility like a true brand ambassador when
you've cultivated a healthy relationship online.
