It’s still relatively early in the new year (although March is creeping up incredibly quickly!), which means it’s the perfect time for you to undertake a little personal brand audit.

Did you have a Myspace when you were younger (gah, cringe)? Or maybe you’re like Belle and have had sporadic Twitter phases on and off for the last 10+ years…

In this ep, Liz steps us through 5 simple ways we can do a social media audit to ensure the content that appears online for your personal brand reflects what you want it to:

1. Start by doing a Google of your name (don’t forget any nicknames or maiden names)

2. Check all your old social media accounts 

3. Be sure to double-check all your social media privacy settings

4. Audit your current social account content

   1. Does this portray the right message?

   2. Would I feel ok if this was shown on TV or to my grandparents?

   3. Is it something that can be used to harm my personal security?

   4. Do I need to update anything to be relevant/meet best practice

5. Update your profiles and messaging to reflect the new year (new job, new headshot)

 

Bonus tip: Use this cleansing energy to also unsubscribe from any emails you no longer want!
