There is such a misconception of what branding, public relations or what social media's function is in business. Some consider a logo a brand while other view PR as smooching. Why have things become so confusing these days? Business these days is running at a sprinters pace with a new technological advancement in some sectors which seems by the minute. It can be very overwhelming for CEOs and managers to keep up with all of it. Try to take a step back and really listen to your customers. They…See More

How far will product placement go?
Growing up I have always been particularly cognizant of brands. My father works for a major beverage company. As a kid, if were allowed to drink soda, we were not allowed to drink that of Brand X, since Dad’s company was paying the mortgage, putting food on the table and paying for my dance lessons.

A fine line for Facebook content?
A 12 year old, British boy recently had racked up around $1,400 tab playing Farmville on Facebook. This game is played by 75,000 players monthly. She is asking them to take part of the responsibility for a child with a past history of addictive behavior. "When I asked him why he did it he said that they had brought out 'good stuff that I wanted,' " the mother, who asked not to be named, told the newspaper. This child had a history of racking up a big cell phone bill that he could not pay.… Continue

Overwhelmed by social media planning?
In this uncertain fluctuating marketplace I often hear ceos, business owners and middle managers have a common thread in their perception of social media. Fear of the unknown, fear that if i speak on this platform on Facebook, Twitter etc... It will put a bulls eye on my back for negative feedback or what if I put the wrong thing out there are typical objections I hear. I get it. Business is scary. The entrepreneur, boss or manager in you doesn't want to fail. I don't know any type of business… Continue

- Michele, In regard to your discussion "Frustrated by not landing an interview"? I agree with adding a cover letter to in the e-mail. When a person has their first face to face interview, one usually dresses for the occasion to make a good first impression. Business attire is very appropriate. One could say the modern day equivalent communicating by e-mail might be termed "e-dress". A suit and power tie say a lot, so tuck in your shirt with spell check and match your shirt and jacket with good grammar!

Great question! You may not like my answer.
Reputation whether online or off takes time. I would also say that there is incredible power in offline reputation building when it transends to an online form.
What I mean by this is....
If you've built a solid reputation offline with customers, prospects, and partners take what you've earned and translate it into lessons learned for others, engage your already existing offline contacts and encourage them to join you online.
How?
Tactically the easiest way to engage this group is through sites like this one. Invite them, encourage them, engage them, ask them, listen, to, read, and reply. I would also say that Linkedin another social media tool has a feature where your contacts can recommend you, your services and your company. You ask them for a recommendation, they complete it, you approve it, and in time recommendations will blanket your profile.
No Shortcuts! It's An Investment In Time and Talent.
Online is really no different than offline when it comes to building a reputation. If you provide value, do what you say you're going to do, and strive to be your best it will happen over time. Sad to say, there are no short cuts.
Try This Formula - Let Me Know How It Works.
Here's a formula for long-term success in building a reputaiton online. Start today. Pick a post online and comment, Tomorrow, write a blog post yourself. The next day comment on someone elses blog, The next day, pass along a cool site related to your speciality, or, research information your readers would benefit from, On the next day ask for help to find a question you want to know the answer to. and then repeat, over, and over until you've built a reputation for delivering online value.
I hope you find this post of value! ;-)
