An Easy Way to Manage a Positive Reputation
In order to manage a positive reputation, the most important thing to do is to create a positive online presence. As mentioned in previous posts, be professional, positive and be helpful. That alone will help your reputation. However, a helpful step to take in regards to managing a positive reputation is to sign up on LinkedIn, if you have not already. Create a professional profile, add connections and get recommendations.
How Recommendations Help Your Reputation
Believe it or not, having recommendations on professional social networks like LinkedIn will be enough to help manage a positive reputation. And getting recommendations are not difficult. Even if you are not that well known or just starting out, you can always create connections and ask for recommendations. There are several methods by doing this:
1. Ask for a recommendation on LinkedIn from your recent connections in something in return. You can always give a recommendation back at a later time but it is better if you exchange something else (like giving a free tweet for your connection’s business) as it does not appear obvious the recommendation was done for a favor.
2. Go to onto Fiverr.com and there are several gigs on there, people offering to give LinkedIn recommendations for $5. It is worth investing $5 in a recommendation if you are unsure of what to exchange, or want the recommendations done quickly.
3. You can always find clients on LinkedIn who you have done services for in the past, who were happy with your work. Ask them to give you a recommendation, they will likely be more than happy to do it for you.
Managing your reputation is quite easy when you take these simple steps such as giving a positive, professional and helpful online presence. Recommendations on LinkedIn will only help.
