This week the noted journalist, Doron Levin, will be presenting at Rob Pasick’s CEO Connect on “Maintaining Your Online Identity”. Please email me if you would like to attend. Here are his five key tips for maintaining and strengthening your online identity:
1. Until you know how to use a social media platform, stay off it. By all means study, observe and gain facility -- but don't start tweeting, posting, blogging until you know the rules of the road.
2. Good writing in the digital world is no different than good writing on paper. Good writing often is a reflection of good thinking, so consider and reflect carefully on what it is you wish to say. It never hurts to let someone whom you trust and respect read a draft before posting.
3. Humor is very difficult to achieve successfully and very easy to flub. If you're funny, then have it. Otherwise, better to be yourself.
4. Be considerate to your readers, in terms of length, approach and subject matter. While it's important to have a definite point of view, it's much easier to lose a reader than to gain one.
5. Remember always to reflect your best self in your posts, the self that is the ideal of what you think a person should be, embodying the values that you were taught --- and that you teach others.
