Your Personal Brand on Social Media

When people talk about you, how do they describe you? If you have a company, what do people think about when your company comes to mind? How do they describe your company to others? These questions revolve around the concept of “brand”, meaning how we (or our companies) come across to others. Even though you may not have a company and have no plans to start one, you still have a brand, which is essentially your reputation.   Concepts of Personal Branding from The Start-Up of You One of my favorite books on this topic is The Start-up of You [...]

Social Media Kudos

One of the great features of social media is the opportunity to compliment people in a very public way. However, as with most opportunities, this one comes with challenges. For example, how do you handle a situation when you are asked to write a recommendation on LinkedIn or Facebook and you aren’t comfortable doing it? People have their own standards regarding how they respond to such requests and to giving social media kudos in general. Here are my suggestions, based on my own experience, as well as on information I have gleaned from others in my years of using social [...]

Your Social Media and Marketing Team

Who is on your social media and marketing team? Even if you are a solopreneur, there are likely folks who are an integral part of your business. Too many people try to “do it all” and then find themselves stressed out with a list of to do items that never seems to get completed.     Here are three people who are on my social media and marketing team and to whom I will be forever indebted. Consulting Editor: Lisa Dicksteen of LMN Editorial www.LMNEditorial.com Lisa and I met when she was a student of mine at Colorado Free University [...]

Relationships and Social Media

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, many of us are thinking about our relationships, especially the ones with our spouse, partner, or significant other. But for me, Valentine’s Day makes me think about ALL my relationships, not just the more intimate ones.   So, in honor of Valentine’s Day, here are some tips for sharing posts on Facebook with the different “audiences” in your life and for staying abreast of their posts. Tracking the Facebook Posts of Your Close Friends Assign your closest friends in real life to the Close Friends category on Facebook. Doing this will place a [...]

Use Social Media to Help Promote Your Book (Or Even a Chapter)

Have you written a book? Have you written a chapter in an anthology? Or do you write articles or blog posts (like this one)? Any time you write something – from a short blog post to a book – remember to use social media to help draw more readers to what you have written. Recently, I had a chapter published in the book Seek Your Peak to Find Your Spark, an anthology compiled by April M. Williams. The book has accounts from multiple authors about what they are passionate about and how they came to develop that passion. Here is [...]

Facebook Keeps Changing – What Else is New?

In just the last week or so I have noticed a couple of things that have recently changed about Facebook. The first one you might not have noticed unless you happened to be checking your privacy settings. The other one is pretty obvious.   Privacy Settings Are Now Found Under “Settings” A few days ago, I wanted to check something in my privacy settings. But when I went to the drop down menu under the cog wheel icon on my menu bar, the word “privacy” wasn’t where it always had been. So, I went to Facebook’s Help Center and typed [...]

Learn From Your Competition on Social Media

Recently a financial planner asked me to give him some feedback on his LinkedIn profile. As you may know, professionals in this highly-regulated industry have many restrictions on how they use social media in general, including what they can put in a LinkedIn profile. That said, I took a look at his profile and made a few general suggestions for improvement. Then I reviewed the LinkedIn profiles of a few of the other financial planners I am connected with on LinkedIn. I shared the LinkedIn URLs for these planners with the fellow who asked me to review his profile. Then [...]

Networking at Social Media Classes

When you take a social media class or any other business-related class, do you come prepared to network? Having both taken and taught a wide range of social media classes, I am struck by the incredible networking opportunities these classes offer. However, in order to make this type of networking work you for you, you need to do some preparation prior to arriving at class, you need to reach out to your classmates, and you need to follow up afterwards. Preparations Prior to the Class Be sure to have your business cards with you. Think about what kinds of people [...]

Social Media Users – Search Yourself on the Internet

When was the last time you did an Internet search of your own name? The more social media sites you use, the more likely it is that a link to your presence on that site will appear when people search your name. Now, some people (like me) are happy that people find them and their social sites on the Internet. That's because they like the additional marketing opportunity. But others prefer that their social media activity not be readily available to strangers. Search Results for Joyce Feustel: Someone Who Wants to be Found When I type Joyce Feustel into a Google search [...]
