Key Takeaways:
Essentially, the key takeaways are a combination of:
- Static – LinkedIn (Career Profile)
- Active- Fb, Twitter latest posts
Your life book’s back cover is your Social Media profiles. Most of the companies pay a hefty amount for the same, so you can surely invest some time. He further adds that always ‘start backwards’.
- Start with objective
- What do you want people to think about you – Be realistic, be authentic, you can’t fool people
- When you narrow your boundaries of expression online as topics and sub-topics, then it is even more easier to produce a steady stream of content to augment and build your brand.
- Be useful, to others. Be the person they can look up to, for a particular topic.
- Be the person who is always curious about a topic (that you have outlined for yourself)
- Be the person who always has a point of view on the topic you identified for yourself.
- Besides saying things yourself, another great way to attract attention—from the most appropriate people—is to follow and engage with people online.
