From the latest Newsletter of the Social Media Academy.
Social media profiles are a delicate thing. You may prefer to be rather low key, but you also want to be open and approachable.
So consider those few tips:
We started the Social Media Academy Australia and already started our first Leadership Class this week (first week of June).
- Have a consistent photo across all profiles - it's your "personal logo"
- Don't make your photo be "special" - you are unique 100% guaranteed
- Cross reference other profiles i.e. from Twitter you may point to your LinkedIn profile
- Always state your real name - nick names are like avatars - so 1990
- Write your bio as a combination of your business profile and personal focus
- If you can provide links to your other social networks and blogs
- Consider all activities on a site as part of your profile, your identity
- Provide it in a way that it works for both your best friends and your customers
- Even so you may separate business from personal life - the viewer may not
- Point to your profiles whenever you have the opportunity
