Building Your Online Personality
This article came from an inspirational moment after reading an article on thenetworkmarketingmagazine (dot) com.
In it, the writer expresses that computer technology cannot take the place of the face-to-face sales technique.
For me, the personality that I can build and let shine through computer technology, is altogether more professional than I can manage in person.
So how do you build that online personality? Well, the best way and the first thing you should consider when building your online personality, is by building a blog.
A blog lets you put your thoughts forward to your readers through articles of your own (if you wish), or by selecting articles that you consider appropriate for your blog.
You need to make it generic (suitable for any business online) and, as we are building our personality, you need to express your thoughts and feelings in a way that suits you.
The next way is through article marketing.
Just like this, you need to express yourself in the way that suits you.
It is important to add an 'Expert Articles New Article Alerts' box in your blog.
Then your readership can sign up to your articles and get to know you through them.
In social media you can express yourself more freely.
You can write anything you like.
Having said that, if you want to build a professional image, you have to be wary and only write the kinds of things that make you look like a professional to your contacts.
In social media, you really need to express your personality.
You can talk about your family, hobbies, religion, political views and anything that helps a reader to get to know you better.
With IM (Instant Messaging) services, you need to be careful.
You need to build your professional image by quick thinking and typing.
It is easy for the person you are speaking to, to think that maybe you are not as experienced or as professional as you are, but IM's are just a way for people to communicate freely.
You need to care more about the person you are speaking to and let them know that you care.
The network marketing industry is 80% give and only 20% take.
It's important to remember that at all times, but especially in IM services.
Therefore, don't thrust your opportunity down the throat of the person you are talking to on your first conversation.
Even if they ask, don't try to force them to join.
It doesn't do any favours for your online personality, at all.
Another way of developing your online personality is through email.
People will be happy to hear from you if you let them have valuable content - free ebooks, free video courses, other free business development tools and more.
It all helps to build that magical personality.
In conclusion, building your online personality is all part of branding yourself.
We all hear the term 'branding yourself', but what does that mean? It basically means building your own self image and letting people get to know you and your name.
