Online Visibility Coaching Tip: Don't limit yourself to social networking sites. When you make a purchase online you often have the opportunity to submit a review. In this 3 minute video you'll learn how this can boost your visibility. [Can't see the video? Click here.]
One thing to keep in mind when you post a review is your tone. If you were not happy with the product or service you are reviewing, keep it civil. Your review not only reflects on the product but on you as the reviewer. Don't be a hater. Whenever you do an online review, whether or not it's favorable, if you're honest and respectful, it cannot hurt you. Being mean and derogatory will hurt your personal brand, in my opinion. But constructive feedback that's delivered with respect will not hurt you.

Denise, this is a terrific piece of advice. I’ve long done book reviews on Amazon, but need to ramp up my reviewing of other things I buy. My husband is active in the amateur radio (“ham radio”) community, and every day he reads eham.net reviews of electronic products. He has often commented on the few mean-spirited reviews that hurt no one except the reviewer. Thanks for the reminder!
Denise,
This is a very good idea. I am a big online buyer and I have left reviews but I have not taken advantage of it this way.
I figure that outflow=inflow. It is a magic formula. The more you outflow the more inflow comes in. And like this example it does not always matter where you outflow. You are doing something that brings inflow from different sources.
Writing a quick bio you can copy and paste every time would make this easy to do.
