1. Optimise your Social Media<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Each social platform provides you with an opportunity to showcase your personality and achievements<\/a>. Take some time out to complete your Facebook “About Me” section, Twitter Bio, and your LinkedIn profile with details on your education, skills, and interests.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Start Blogging<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Blogging is an excellent way to demonstrate your knowledge<\/a> and position yourself as a subject matter expert. It’s a digital record that highlights your expertise and your passion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Your Online Education<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There’s no better place to showcase your\u00a0online<\/span>\u00a0learning achievements than by adding “Alison” under the “Education” section of your LinkedIn profile, to help you stand out and attract potential employers. Who knows, an employer may notice your profile even before posting a job advertisement!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Participate in Online Forums<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From Wiki Answers and Quora, to LinkedIn and Facebook Groups, participate in\u00a0online\u00a0<\/span>forums and Q&A platforms. This not only helps showcase your expertise but also network with industry experts<\/a> and build your\u00a0online<\/span>\u00a0reputation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Stay Current<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Be it your social media account or\u00a0online\u00a0<\/span>forums, share relevant content and talk about the latest news within your industry. Join conversations on Twitter or LinkedIn using the hashtag (#) feature to participate in trending conversations, and blog about current topics.<\/p>\n

6. Build Your Own Website<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A website with your own domain name<\/a> makes an incredible impact on your\u00a0online<\/span>\u00a0visibility<\/span>. It establishes a single destination where you can add all your achievements. Your employer can easily access everything they need to know about you in one place, with one click.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Make the Best Use of Social<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Start Vlogging<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Video + Blogging = Vlogging. Vlogs are blogs in video format<\/a> where you record videos of your speech or demo and publish them. With your knowledge and expertise of your industry, vlogging on popular channels like YouTube allows you to cement yourself as a thought leader.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Include Your Work Samples<\/h3>\n
