Hows your online Reputation?

Here is a video that talks about what online reputation management.


Online Reputation? When you hear online reputation what comes to your mind? To me I think about peoples image online and how are they doing. Mainly my image. I learned in several different classes that I have taken since my time at UofL that what you are doing online is just as important as what your not doing online. You want a GOOD presence online but posting certain things that we really don't need to see is not necessary. Meaning that going out and getting drunk and posting all those pics that you wouldn't show your mom.

Here are some tips about managing your online reputation: 
1. Remember anything you post online is available to anyone. I.E Getting a job at your dream job could be in jeopardy following a few bad tweets or status up dates or pics uploaded. 
2. If you wouldn't show your mom, chances are you shouldn't post it because your moms going to see it regardless.
3. Be aware of Fake accounts with your name.
4. Establish your own reputation, so it goes the way you think you should go.
5. Monitor some of your conversations online.

Here is an article that two of these tweets were taking from. http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/social-media-reputation/

Just remember that you do need an online presence but just don't over do it and post professional things. What ever you think would be ok for a future employer to read. I know people have bad days and what to tell the world about it but honestly we don't need to know all about it, esp. if cussing is involved.

Follow these tips and your online reputation should be OK. If your scared of something you all ready posted just take it down.

Hope you enjoyed this post on online reputation mangement! Until next time.
