The Internet has become so crowded today, with quintillions of bytes of data created each day. With most people quarantined at home for months now, many of them have explored content creation as well, making and sharing blogs, vlogs, and other digital content every minute. 

If you’re going to take a closer look, that’s a great deal of information to absorb! In light of this, creating an executive reputation online has never been harder. Amid all this digital content clutter, how will you stand out? How will you establish and maintain your online reputation?  

If you’re asking the same question, we’re here to help you out. Here are four steps you can take to start building your online reputation today:

LinkedIn is one of the online platforms flocked by many professionals and executives. If you’re not on this platform yet, you might be missing out on great opportunities to establish your online presence, and connect with like-minded people.

As you work on your profile, make sure you have these ticked off:  

After you have updated the different sections of your profile, you can start sharing your profile and connecting with other executives. 

After establishing your profile, the next step is to establish your authority in an industry or a topic, and writing is one of the most effective ways to achieve this. You can write about something you do well or something you are passionate about. You can also write about your insights on the latest trends in your industry. 

Sharing your insights through articles (and even podcasts) lets people know that you are actually an industry expert. Additionally, if your posts are composed well and shared in different platforms, you can pull in not only reads but also engagements and shares. 

Another great way to boost your executive reputation online is to get an interview with organisations or individuals who are famous for interviewing other well-known entrepreneurs. 

First, being invited to a different platform with a different audience helps you reach more people and build awareness of your executive brand. Second, this also helps you perform better in search results as your name will be listed on the event websites for which you will speak. 

The first three tips are all about what you say or do to establish your online reputation. However, you have to remember others can post content about you as well. You may be confident about what you’re sharing out there, but what about the malicious content that other people have shared about you? 

These days, people are becoming more susceptible to believing what they read online. When defamatory content blows up online, it can cause irreparable damage to your executive brand.  

It can take you months (or even years) to establish a strong executive online reputation, but unfortunately, it can only take a single click of a button to destroy it. For this reason, when it comes to managing your online reputation, it’s smart to have a plan to protect both your personal and professional life.
