A College Student's idea of a "Well Branded" Digital Image

The people's profiles I looked at were the following:

Trisha Torrey that talked about her journey, stated her appearances to different places, her books she published, and her personal tips. Which is good because you are "well rounded" and known. In the website it also had a section for other people's personal stories.

Almost Frugal that has a first and last name and a comment section so  that people can voice their opinions about what they think.

Simple Mom that was really good on recent updates, a nice photo of self and other things that represent what the article was talking about. Had an appropriate email and Twiiter for others to follow.

Kim Mance picked a title that was fun and engaging to readers. Put a link on the website that went to another website for more additional information about herself.

Deb Dib's linkedin was good I thought because of her connections, the different websites she linked to her page, a great summary, lots of experience, and she added additional information.

Jason Alba's linkedin was good because of the amount of recommendations, his education and education levels, his many skills and languages. He was also able to put down his contact information.

I think I should personally try to change my digital presence is by getting a more professional facebook page and updating current information on my resume. I plan to also create a LinkedIn account and keep it updated. Of course I would have my picture and what I write on my wall be appropriate, because I don't know who would be reading it.

My 5 Criteria (no order for most important)

1. First and last name should be displayed.

2. Appropriate pictures and wall postings on facebook, twitter, web page, etc.

3. Add a nice detailed summary or more information about yourself, so that the reader can get to know you.

4. Add your expertise and connections. This could be important for being recommended on certain sites.

5. Add your personal tips or other testimonies to let others what you're doing really does work and it may can help them.
