Spring: birds sing, flowers bloom, and your social presence shines. Wait, what do you say? You do not hit your account settings or upgrade your network in yonka? If so, then the following three steps will help you identify your goals for your social presence, holes in your academic profile, which should unfollow.
Step 1: Search the Internet
Start your spring cleaning with a social research itself. Use Google, Bing, or a combination of several different search engines. So take a step back and imagine you are an employer, knowledge of recent years, a journalist and a stalker. For each situation, consider the effect of each individual and how your content appears in search results.
An employer may see your professional accomplishments as a portfolio, articles, or past projects?
Is a new knowledge to learn more about your hobbies?
Can a reporter may contact you?
Can a stalker get your address, your vacation plans, and their photo albums?
Some of these situations are not relevant to each user. Rather, these scenarios offer a way to assess social presence from many angles. When you have identified how you want to meet, to be searched, and what information you want people to know, you can go to the cleaning company.
Step 2: Polish your profile
Unlike a real-time dynamic content and that you share, create and consume social media sites, the contents page of your profile is maintained for the most part. This is fine if you have not changed anything, and social networks require different amounts of what I call the "polishing profile." Maintenance requires very little effort Twitter profile when the profile LinkedIn requires more maintenance.
Twitter encourages profile data by limiting the functions minimum profile to include your name, location, picture, short bio to 160 characters, and a web link. So you probably will not need to update your Twitter profile often or not at all. With Twitter, there is greater need to manage your community participation and content consumption. I will return to these ideas in step 3
LinkedIn is another story. The LinkedIn network consists of a few or thousands of connections, you need to update your profile as you develop professionally. If not, how his colleagues of his life in high finance knows who left the fast track to open a store flip-flop in the Bahamas?
From the point of promoting employment in a slideshow, the additional information that you share in your profile gives potential employers and colleagues a better understanding of your work history, style and objectives. Here are some questions to help you start updating your LinkedIn profile:
Your profile giving an overview of your work experience and accomplishments?
Your profile include a recent photo?
This is the profile includes a recommendation from past work?
Your profile contains examples of his published works, presentations or projects?
If you are lucky enough to be taken on the side of these issues for you. Candidates to check your profile to evaluate the experience, management style and vision.
Step 3: Take Trash Twitter
If the news feed on Twitter will introduce you to the mundane more interesting, then it's time to take out the trash. Twitter, review the list of people who follow you, and ask yourself: why is this track a user? If you can answer this question, so it's probably worth your time tracked the user. There is no need to sift through and try to read the Twitter feed is worth it, to feed.
Although Twitter has become educated to follow the back of your followers, you should not feel obliged to do so. Follow the users, the contents of which add value to your social experience. Make it policy to avoid spam represented.
Conclusion: Hide the rest under your bed
Well, my metaphor is almost over, so I hope your social profile are sparkling. Some of these measures, such as maintenance of your LinkedIn profile, it can take time. It requires a research monitoring or tracking tools like Google Alerts. For now, you can enhance your social media accounts. So go ahead and hide things under your bed, grab a cold beer and check the flow of news.
