Your Professional Photo Enhances Your Personal Brand

Does your professional photo represent you well? Remember, your photo is one of the most important elements of your personal brand. I am frequently disappointed with both the quality of the profile photos I find on LinkedIn and other social sites. Too often these photos show the person in a casual environment, sometimes with family members and friends. At times, the way the person looks in the photo is not the way they show up in real life. Sometimes people use a variety of photos across their social sites, website, and other online environments. The better approach is to use the same photo on all sites (except [...]

Facebook for Service Clubs and Other Volunteer Organizations

Facebook can be a powerful tool to help service clubs and other volunteer groups. Effective use of Facebook helps grow their membership, enhance the group's camaraderie, and increase their visibility in the community. The Facebook business page, groups, and/or events features can all be terrific tools for these kinds of organizations.   Facebook Business Page The business page serves almost like a “mini-website” in that it has an info section where you can include basic information such as your mission and contact info. Photos, videos, and posts on this page can be seen by anyone who checks out the business [...]

Leveraging Your Twitter Lists – Part 3 of Series

Effective use of Twitter lists will streamline and improve your Twitter experience. Many people avoid Twitter because they are overwhelmed with the sheer volume of their Twitter feed. However, a simple way to strategically approach Twitter is to create and use lists to divide that torrent into smaller streams. This post, the third in a three-part series on creating and optimizing lists on social media, covers Twitter. The first post focused on Facebook and the second on LinkedIn.   What are Twitter Lists and How Do You Use Them? According to Twitter: “A list is a curated group of Twitter [...]

Sorting Your LinkedIn Connections: Part 2 of a Series

Like Facebook and Twitter, LinkedIn offers a system for sorting your connections. To do it you use “tags”- a relatively unknown feature that can be very useful.   This post, the second in a three-part series on creating and optimizing lists on social media, covers LinkedIn. Last week we looked at Facebook, and next week we will focus on Twitter.   LinkedIn’s Tags Sort Your Connections According to LinkedIn’s help center: “Tags are simple keywords to help organize and sort your contacts. They can be added on a person's profile or from the Connections page.” LinkedIn includes some suggestions such [...]

The Power of Facebook Lists: Part I of a Series

Are you using Facebook lists and/or the list features of LinkedIn and Twitter? Doing so can help you stay focused on the segment of your connections most critical to your business success. Each site gives you the ability to group connections as clients, referral partners, groups needing speakers, and much more. For example, perhaps some of the clients with whom you are connected on Facebook are regular posters. To make sure you see their posts, you could create a “clients who are also Facebook friends” list. You can create any type of group or list for the people you are [...]

LinkedIn Groups Are Worth Your While

Are you involved in groups on LinkedIn? If not, I highly recommend that you join and become active in at least a handful. The other members can be a great source of information. They may help you get ready for an interview, find a job, research a topic, prepare a proposal, or discuss issues of interest. The information in this post is drawn from the section on groups in the LinkedIn help center. Purpose of LinkedIn Groups Among the main purposes of LinkedIn groups is to provide a place for professionals in the same industry or with similar interests to [...]

Keep Your Facebook Account Under Wraps

Some people prefer not to use Facebook to communicate with friends and family. However, in order to have a business page, you have to have a personal account first.

Volunteer Leadership in the LinkedIn Experience Section

Expand your LinkedIn Experience section by including volunteer leadership positions past and present. Many people include these contributions in the Volunteering Experience and/or in the Organizations sections. However, there is no reason not to include key volunteer leadership roles in the Experience section along with paid work positions. And there are many reasons to do so.   Benefits of Including Volunteer Leadership Roles in Your Experience Section When you include a volunteer leadership role in your Experience section, other members of that organization can write you recommendations for your contributions in that role. Recommendations are important part of your profile. [...]

Stepping Away From Social Media

What has been your experience with stepping away from social media? Can you even imagine doing it? With summer just around the corner and many people planning vacations and/or trips to visit loved ones, this topic has been on my mind. Recently I traveled to northeast Oklahoma to spend time with family members. During those few days, I found myself truly relaxing and slowing down. It was good for me. Though I did check my Facebook newsfeed occasionally, I rarely thought about social media during those precious days. Instead, I focused on my loved ones. This experience reminded me of [...]
