Online reputation management is big business now ( Though Denise cheer up!!……perhaps a touch or recording nerves!) We thought we would share a couple of videos over the next week or so. We have been invited to have a TV channel on Start up TV in the UK. We are really excited about the possibilities. This is actually a great online ” magazine style site” with contributions from many different angles when it comes to marketing. We will let you know how it goes. If you are a start up business it would be well worth you going along and signing up for their free newsletter. This video on search engine repuputation management talks through some of the reasons why it is becoming increasingly important in all walks of business life. A few months ago we were at a networking event where one business owner was not convinced of the benefit of being online. Which is fair enough, as we are all entitled to our own opinions and thoughts. Yet this particular individual had had some negative press about him which, sad to say was evident on line. This is not rare at all. A funny story from us is that Denise once objected to a planning application ( eco warrior that she is) and for quite a while this was one of the main things that appeared about her on the internet! Now because of our own knowledge we know how to minimise the impact. It is easy, yet it is important to know what to do when it comes to your own internet repuation management. First of all make sure whenever you comment on an online forum or blog that the comment you leave relates to your brand and the image you want to portray. Go and grab your social network names. The power of linkedin and facebook are huge and making sure that your name is listed will probably get you on the first page of Google straight away. Apart from going to Google how do you know what people are saying? The quickest and easiest way is to go to Google alerts and add in your name as an alert. You will then be sent emails everytime someone talks about you on line. Just Google Google alerts and you can arrange it in seconds. So in summary then what can you do? There are hundreds of things. Though below are 7 things you can do that will take you probably less than an hour ( possibly with the exception of adding your name to your website) 1. Go to Google alerts and sign up for alerts on your name and your company name. 2. Sign up for a linkedin account. Even if you are not sure what to do quite yet claim your name

3. Sign up for Facebook 4. Sign up for Twitter. 5. Make sure that you add your own name into your website details and key words. 6. Post on relevant forums under your own name and say something “worthwhile�. You just might be picked up by the search engines. 7. Go and sign up for a free blogger blog and use your own name. Just post something simple like an about you 100-200 words. To You and your online success
