From a business perspective you can reach your customers like never before, but have you thought about how you manage your personal brand online? What do I mean by personal brand? Well, personal branding is not the cute pictures you put up of your cat, your dog, or your kids on social media to share with your friends. Your personal brand is what people see about you when they Google your name, and this includes any business/ professional profiles you use online, etc.
Everything we do online creates a unique digital footprint, so utilising the power of social media to promote your personal profile can have an important influence on your career and how people view you.
