Marketing Material Tip: 5 minute online presence upgrade

Here's a quick way to make your blog posts and blog comments more professional, more authentic and give your online presence a human touch.

Add a Gravatar.

"Your Gravatar is an image (usually your professional head shot) that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things like comment or post on a blog. Avatars help identify your posts on blogs and web forums."

Many do-it-yourself websites (like leading blog software) already have a plugin for your Gravatar that you can activate with a click of a button.

If that makes no sense to you, don't worry, just go to Gravatar.com and sign up for a free account. Just be sure the email you use to sign up matches your website.

If you are a service professional, please don't use an image of you and your cat (unless you're an animal communicator) or some other silly photo. Part of attracting a steady flow of great opportunities is the willingess to be seen in the world as a professional. And a professional looking head shot makes a difference.

Go to Gravatar.com. It only takes about 5 minutes to set up.

Don't be surprised when your friends and colleagues say "How did you do that!?" You'll look like an online savvy pro!

To your success,

Karin
