Why Your Online Reputation Matters

• Mortgage companies

• Banks

• 21% were fired from a job

• 16% missed out on a job opportunity

• 14% missed out on getting accepted to a college they applied to

• 16% lost their health insurance coverage

How NuProfile Helps

NuProfile can help you: manage your social media accounts, post relevant material to your biographical websites, and create resumes online. This will allow you to advocate who you are, and that you will not stand for the negative material being posted about you elsewhere online. Anyone can be violated online, and anyone can restore their reputation with the help of NuProfile .

It works like this:

• Find the negative information online

• Remove it with a number of techniques. Sometimes, the reviews can be removed entirely. Some reviews may be edited to reflect a more positive result. The ones that cannot be removed can be buried.

• Replace it with positive information

• Continuously monitor for new information and address accordingly. New posts can come up at any given time. Actively monitoring will help ensure you address them as they happen, rather than letting negativity take over again.

Removing negative information online isn’t easy. Typically, once something is online it is always there, but, a number of techniques can edit the information or push it so far down the search engines that no one can find it anymore.

Do You Need a Better Online Reputation?

Do you know what your online reputation looks like? Take a second to search your own name online. What results come up on the first page? More than likely, you’ll see results from Facebook, LinkedIn, and other big name websites. If you own your name as a domain, you’ll probably see that, too.

If you’ve not been involved in any criminal activity or strange things that could pop up within the first couple of pages online, you may think you’re safe. In reality, all your social media updates are cataloged, and even if you delete them, they can still be accessed by the right people, and simply making your profile “private” isn’t enough. Think before you post!

Anyone can become a victim of a bad online reputation. All it takes is one misstep, and it can be blown out of proportion. You can’t control what others are going to say and do, but you can control what others will see. Protect yourself and your personal brand.
