2. Do guest blogging

Guest blogging is my familiar blogging strategy. Yes, it is the easiest way of attaining good online reputation in blogging. You’ll get new readers and build human relationship within the bloggers community.

3. Utilize blog commenting

I’ve already discussed on blog commenting and it went viral in the Blogosphere. Leave worthy comments in relevant blogs with your Gravatar image.

4. Stay active in social media

I would say, there is no blogging/online business without social media tools. Not only to maintain a professional online reputation, to get love from Google and other search engines, it is good to stay active in some online reputation management accounts like LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest etc. to promote your earnest blog posts and share your concepts.

5. Talk about famous bloggers/business personals

This is the tricky way am handling to improve my online reputation. I used to approach some famous bloggers for my “Experts Tips’ category post to talk about them. Also, I get practiced to mention the influential bloggers often in my blog post and it is aiding me to advance my reputation. So I suggest you to do the same for your online business.

6. Help others

People who are generous with their time and assistance, would certainly strengthen the bonds they have with like-minded people and visitors, and generally turned into valuable resources. So do as much help to others to lay foundation and to uphold a respectable online reputation.

7. Give respect and kindness

This is the simple way of maintaining a positive online reputation. I am having this quality and this is letting me to do my business successfully. If you have the vanity and show disrespect to your clients, it is really tough to get good online reputation.

Apply creativeness and smart work in your online business. If you go beyond your readers/clients expectation, you’ll get long term rewards for it and it would help you to sustain a durable reputation.

9. Do what you say

If you’ve committed to do something, do it promptly. Do not give opportunities for your readers/customers to count on you as it would lead to reputation damage.

10. Stay professional

As listed at the end of the post, don’t think that it is having least priority or an optional one. Just to make it visible, I’ve purposely kept it last. Please don’t annoy your regulars with meaningless and immoral information as it would destruct your professionalism which in turn affects your reputation.

Try to use some online reputation management tools to know what others are saying about you online. Sproutsocial, Brand and Technorati are the best tools to monitor and analyze what is being said about you online.

  4. Hi mam,

    Thanks for these useful tips.

    In fact, I was ignoring the word “Reputation” for the past few months. No social media presence and no connection with anybody. I was just pumping out articles without making any backlinks because I thought it’s all about the quantity of contents. But that not the case, it’s all about Google’s trust which counts on the number of high quality links pointing to my site. Bingo! Now i’m really struggling mam — I was doing all wrong (sigh). I wish if I can go back to past and fix all these mess.

    I want to add one more point to your article “Create Videos”. I bet, It plays a major role in online reputation, because videos rank well on Google and it can drive a lot attention to our blog. I made a stupid video of mine, it’s on about page 🙂

    Good reputation is all a blogger needs to be successful in blogosphere and I must admit that it is indeed a tough task and takes a lot of efforts and time.
    Out of the points you mentioned, guest blogging and blog commenting are one of the great methods to create a good impression on other bloggers in the community. Though for that, it is essential that you are also creating content which is being praised by others for being informative and high in quality.

  12. Hi Nirmala,

    I think you nailed it. for me, it is always important to keep a good profile on social media. Keep it updated and always follow etiquette. Practise the 30 second rule like hello and hi before even ask others for comments.

    I can’t count how many pm’s I get in a day without any hi. Just dropping a link and that is really annoying…seriously!

    Just my 2 cents.

  13. I agree with you Nirmala. It certainly takes time to build an online reputation . And only one failed promise to destroy it. I would really like to stress that never make promises that you can’t deliver on time. Happened to me once, and that blogger still bad mouths about me everywhere! 😛

  14. Oh really? very sad to hear this 🙁

    Yeah, if you are not making your promises true, your reputation would spoil certainly.

    Thanks for sharing your reputation experience with us Aditya, keep coming here to do the same 😛

  16. Hi Nirmala,
    I do agree with you. In order to build online reputation it is necessary to stay active on social media. All the points you have mentioned above are equally effective in building online reputation.

  17. I have always ignored Guest blogging and commenting as I thought It was a time wasting activity but after reading the piece of information that you have shared, I think I must start indulging in guest posting and commenting so as to enhance my blog’s online reputation and get seo benefits.

  18. Hey Nirmala,

    Great article and thanks for sharing. I think the best method for me is to keep up with engagement.

    Whenever anyone share something for you, throw in a good, thank you or even reply to ask what they think about it.

    When you do this long enough, people are going to recognize you and you’ll gain reputation from there.

    Works all the time for me and hey, happy weekend ahead!

  19. Helping is the key factor in building up a repo because that will spread like a disease and thus will lead you towards making awesome networks all over the globe. It will build your own customized community.

  20. I wanted to start blogging rom a long time but I keep sidelining it due to the lack of knowledge on the subject matter. I am thinking to hire a professional blogger or emerging writer or something. Will that help the same way? Can they fulfill my requirements? Please revert. Thanks!
