Online Personal Reputation Management 2020
Online Personal Reputation Management 2020 By JW Maxx Solutions
Your personal online reputation management has never been more critical. Never before in the history of humanity has so much information about a person been so readily available. It can genuinely factor in every aspect of your life. Your professional life or your personal life. Your present or your future. This may sound a bit scary, and it perhaps kind of is, but that’s life today. You need to understand how your online image affects you and what you can do about it.
Your Present
Personal: You may not have considered that what you post, or have posted about you, can affect your everyday private life. But it can. Your friends and family may stumble upon anything you may have posted, or had posted, about you. If you have posted anything online and think, “I hope my parents don’t see that.” There is a good chance they have done. It doesn’t take as much work as you might think to find these things, it is often as simple as a quick google search.
Professional: You never know if your employer might start doing thorough background checks, looking for reasons to let people go. It is quite a lot more common than you might think. You never know if what you said as an angry teenager on Facebook will come back to bite you. You see it all the time in today’s “cancel culture.” Kevin Hart had to step down from presenting the Oscars because of some tweets he wrote years ago. It can happen to you too. Your online personal reputation management is not under as much scrutiny as someone like Kevin Hart’s is, But it can still occur. It only takes one person looking.
Your Future
Personal: Dating today is very different than it was even 20 years ago. Online dating sites are the most likely way for a couple to meet. Because of the way this works, the first time you meet someone can be on your first date. Because you don’t know what to expect from each other, there is a very high likelihood you will be googling each other’s names, trying to find out whatever you can. How would you feel if your date started bringing up cringe-worthy comments you made on Facebook 5 years ago. Or worse, straight up ghosted you and never turned up.
Professional: If you are applying for a new job, a new college, or a new university in today’s world you, will have your background checked. Almost 100% guaranteed. Because of this, you never know what might be dug up. How would you feel if you lost out on a great new job, or lost your place at your dream school? All because of things you said online, or things people posted about you. If you have social media, with pictures of you and your friends drunk, do you think that will go over well with the admissions board? No. It won’t.
What you can do to help yourself
There are plenty of ways you can help yourself out of this situation. But it just boils down to two things. What you need to do right now, and what you need to keep doing in the future.
What you should do now
Set all your accounts to private.Un-tag yourself from any photos of you that you wouldn’t want to be seen. Delete all your old posts, within reason (Don’t just delete everything for the sake of it, only the things would be better off gone). Remove any highly personal information that links your account to you. Do you need everyone to know where you work? It makes finding you very easy for your employer.
What to keep in mind going forward
Don’t post anything you wouldn’t want your boss, date, or teacher to see. Don’t allow yourself to be tagged in photos without your approval. Don’t create public social media accounts; always set them to private. Make sure you keep a positive mental attitude and keep applying for opportunities on sites like link.
Conclusion: Managing your Online Personal Reputation Management
The best way to stay safe and stay private online is to make sure you just think ahead. Good forethought and common sense are all you need. Treat anything you post as something that WILL be seen by your boss, your future date, your colleagues, your teachers, and your parents. Even if it won’t be seen, it is much better to be safe than sorry. Your personal reputation online is just as important as it is offline. If you treat your online image with respect and understand its importance, you will be okay. Good luck!

Online Personal reputation found it useful and help for me thanks
Great article. The post is very informative and useful
This was direct to the point but in a very easy going personal tone such as a close friend would use in telling you this. I appreciate the direct warm tone in delivering the information, rather than the cheesy puns most are using these days. This was professional but felt like a friend giving me a heads up. Thanks!
this is nice, highly configured writing. it point to time management, i learn a lot from this article, bro i am highly happy, thank you so much. nice write up
Thank you JW MAXX for changing my life today. Sometimes as young adults we don’t think straight, we only live and care about that momentum not knowing the bad result it can produce in the future. This article is worth sharing.
I definitely agree, online personal reputation is very critical. One point that you mentioned that I do personally is never posting to my profile where I work. Not only do I not believe in being friends with coworkers online because I’ve had problems with them going back to tell an employer what I was doing on my day off but I’ve personally experienced a breach of security for myself because of an ex knowing where I worked ! I think a lot of people don’t realize how important it is to manage what you put out online and I was one of them that learned the hard way. Great read !
Ethics and standards should always be a priority in everyday life. Thank you for posting such a great article regarding your thoughts on how to intermingle ethics, brands, the loyalty need and the impression that leaves your clients and readers.
This is a great reminder. A lot of us neglect to maintain a professional image online or do a sloppy job of it. Business has gone digital and this is a skill we all need.
I’ve never considered the importance of my personal online reputation before reading this. Thanks for the great insight. This article was really helpful! 🙂
I believe making your own path is really important. People don’t realize how much they belittle themselves sometimes online by posting certain things about themselves. Sometimes all they do is complain. Sometimes other people read their posts and get disinterested in what they are doing because of that. You got to start being more positive in your posts. This JW Maxx article is good for people needing a boost in their online posts. It will help people to realize they need to rethink their posting practices.
I’m very careful of what I post online. I don’t trust anyone, so extra careful is important. I love reading the article. It’s very informative and helpful. Thanks!

Thank you guys for this great information. it really made me understand more about online reputation management.

This article points out something that I wish some people I went to high school understood. They would block their family members from social media so that they couldn’t see the things they were doing online. Why do that when you could just not post those things online! Thank you for writing such an informative article.
