Rep-u-ta-tion:
The beliefs or opinions that are generally held about someone or something;
A widespread belief that someone or something has a particular habit or characteristic.
Online reputation management is the process of changing, repairing, controlling, updating, or monitoring one’s digital name, brand, company, entity, or product reputation online.
Name, character, repute, standing, stature, status, position, rank, fame, renown, esteem, eminence, prestige, image, stock, credit – no matter what we call it, the nature of “reputations” have been around as long as humans have forged relationships.
Relationships with people. Relationships with things.
We are social beings. We share knowledge. We research, communicate, consume, and communicate again. Together, we learn. We learn from our own experiences, and the experiences of others. Our social instincts dictate future decisions based on what we learn through collective knowledge.
We have a community approach to our existence. Our survival depends on it. Information sharing gives rise to an abundance of advantages in our quality of life, reduces risk, and promotes safety.
We are hard wired for informational reciprocity, and we gravitate towards the most efficient means of gathering new information. Why? Every person has hundreds of decisions to make on a daily basis. Many of our day-to-day choices are habits – choices we have become so comfortable with they become second nature, requiring little, if any thought.
New decisions require thought, and to facilitate convenience in our thought process, we seek the most readily available information or feedback from our environment, and our peers.
Today, the Internet provides the quickest access to information. Community powered content on any topic. Socially infused data and perspective about anyone, and anything. With the click of a button, we access our world.
I wholeheartedly invite you to click your way into the vast body of experiential truth, strategy, and untapped power to influence your online reputation, the reputation of others, and so much more.
