What do I need to know about the online world?

You need to know how to get your name out there. You need to realize that your personal brand is one of the key reasons clients choose to do business with you. By developing a visible presence on the internet and utilizing a toolkit of professional online networking skills, you can add a huge asset to how you interact with both new and existing clients.

In the recent past, certain elements of the web have been nicknamed “Web 2.0”. The 2.0 ideology is that the latest focus of the web has been to define conversation, or social aspects of relationship building.

If Web 2.0 is social, how does that benefit me?

The social foundation of the modern web allows businesses of all sizes to compete on an entirely new level. Everyone from the small business owner to the largest of the Fortune 500 is defined by one voice, the brand of the company shares the brand of the people who are part of it.

How does my company define its brand?

It can begin by embracing an ideology. Some of the most important aspects of a true professional is the sense of family, the dedication to have a strong relationship with a client, and being able to carefully balance all of the karmic gray areas in business.

Karmic gray areas?

Those are all of the areas of business that you don’t find on accounting sheets; employee satisfaction, executive inspiration, community involvement, customer relationships, and everything else that can create a “warm and fuzzy” feeling in how your business functions.

Don’t make a mistake- every single karmic gray area also has the potential to create highly destructive impacts to your business if left unattended.

Barry - you make it sound so simple.  I'm usually afraid to read "how to blogs" because the technology scares me - you simplify concepts and make them easy - thank you.  I will work on my karmic grays.

Ines- there isn't anything to be afraid of in "how to blogs"

I mean really: of all the scary people here on AR, I think you've survived the brunt of all the mean net-crazed web surfers. Haha.
