Have you ever googled your name, what is that you get?

Type your name into the Google search box and see for yourself exactly what appears when people search for you online.

Some of the results you get may be positive and yet others may present an embarrassing  inaccurate and entirely improper image of who you really are. Some results may not even pertain to you personally and may simply appear in your search results by mistake.

Google displays every information about a person such as images, videos, legal records everything.  You have no choice but to ensure that your online image is as positive and as accurate as it can be. Many aspects of your personal life and your career may depend upon it.

We have been getting a lot of request from the individuals and the brands for managing their online reputation. We have the solutions and the technology that quickly addresses online image and reputation issues. It is simple and easy. Let me know if anyone is interested.

From 'Word of Mouth' to 'Word of Mouse'

Word-of-mouth marketing (WOMM), also called word of mouth advertising, is an unpaid form of promotion in which satisfied customers tell other people how much they like a business, product, service, or event. According to Entrepreneur Media, word-of-mouth is one of the most credible forms of advertising because people who don't stand to gain personally by promoting something put their reputations on the line every time they make a recommendation. Now the technology had made the transition from “Word of Mouth” to “Word of Mouse”. Just imagine the scale of reach the word of mouse can achieve. This is what makes social media something that no one can ignore. You may not like social media and you may have very good reason not to like it. But what to do, when your customers, relatives, friends, business partners like it.  You will be left behind. Just like word of mouth marketing, word of mouse too is a slow and time taking process. You need to get started early so that your community is big enough then only it can be used as an effective medium for marketing your products or services.

“First Impressions Matter and They are Often Online Today”

Friends,

In today’s competitive environment where consumers and businesses have many options, it has become a norm to do an online search before actually spending time in physically meeting the person, walking into a shop, hiring a candidate, voting for someone and other similar decision making. Certainly people are googling you, your product and your services. If they find favourable results, it’s much better than if they find unfavourable results or nothing at all.     

In just 9 years Facebook has crossed 1 billion registered users last year and the professional networking site Linked in crossed 200 million users early this year. This tells us that social media can’t be ignored even if we personally don’t like it since the people and businesses that matter to us are there on these platforms.  

We are organizing a workshop "Getting the MOST from Social Media for your Business & You". Benefits of attending this workshop would include, How to make a favourable first impression online, How to protect the privacy and use the social media without a fear, How to promote, generate lead, acquire customers in the most inexpensive way, and How to build trust with the people and organizations that matters to you. We will provide details in the next post.
