Digital Presence

What is Digital Presence?

Your digital or online presence is everything that exists about you online. It’s the posts you publish on all of your social accounts to every Google result out there about you.

A “digital presence” is simply how your business appears online. When people search for your business or company online, what do they find? Do they see your website on Page 1? Can they find your Facebook Page? What do online reviews say about you?

Your digital presence is your online reputation. And the million dollar question is, how have you presented yourself? Do you have an online presence?

Why is important to have Digital Presence?

A digital presence allows you to demonstrate your industry knowledge and expertise without bragging. You can {indirectly} explain why you’re the best in your industry. You build trust. When people need a service you provide, you want them to think of you.

Your digital presence is always there for you, every day, every hour, every minute. TV commercials, radio advertisements, and printed material last for only a limited time. Your digital presence is always ready to offer information for those seeking your services. It has no geographical boundaries. It’s there working for you even when you’re not.

What is LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is a social community focused on business and employment. Based on the profile of each user, who freely reveals his work experience and skills in a real job resume, the web puts millions of companies and employees in contact.

How can you use LinkedIn to improve your network of professional contacts?

LinkedIn allows you to send messages only to people with whom you share a first-degree relationship. However, people who have a Premium (paid) account can be part of the OpenLink network. OpenLink members can receive messages from any LinkedIn member, even if they are not connected. They are on your home page on LinkedIn, it is the news feed, there you can choose to see all the updates or your contacts (among many other options). Know who has looked at your profile by first letting others know who you are when you look at their profiles.
