Introduction
Building a strong personal brand online involves highlighting your expertise and credibility. Positive mentions, such as feedback from satisfied clients, endorsements from reputable organizations, or mentions in industry publications, can significantly boost your online presence.
This guide will walk you through uploading positive mentions to your BlitzMetrics website to showcase the value you bring to your clients and colleagues.
Cleaning Up Placeholder Positive Mentions:
Before adding your new positive mentions, it’s important to remove any placeholder entries that may already be on your site. Here’s how to clean up existing positive mentions:
- Navigate to the Positive Mentions page: In your site’s admin dashboard, find the “Positive Mentions” page in the left-hand sidebar.
- Select All Positive Mentions: Look for a checkbox option that allows you to select all existing mentions, which may be labeled “Select All” or something similar.
- Choose the “Move to Trash” Bulk Action: Once all positive mentions are selected, locate the bulk action dropdown menu. Choose the “Move to Trash” option to remove any placeholder mentions.
- Confirm Deletion: Click the “Apply” button to delete the selected positive mentions.
Now that your placeholder mentions are cleared, you are ready to add new ones that highlight your impact.
Adding New Positive Mentions:
Follow these steps to upload positive mentions to your site:
- Go to the Positive Mentions Section: Navigate to the “Positive Mentions” page in the left-hand sidebar of the admin dashboard.
- Click “Add New”: Look for a button labeled “Add New” or something similar. This will open a form where you can input your new positive mention details.
Filling in Positive Mention Information:
Here are the fields you will need to complete for each new positive mention:
- Client Name: Enter the full name of the person providing the positive mention.
- Client Title: Specify the title or role of the person providing the mention (e.g., CEO, Marketing Director).
- Client Company: Enter the name of the company where your client works or represents.
- Quote: Provide the text of the positive mention—a brief quote about their experience working with you or the value you brought to their business.
- URL (optional): Include a link where visitors can learn more about your client, such as their company’s website or a relevant online profile.
Tips for Crafting Effective Positive Mentions:
- Be Authentic: Make sure the quotes you feature are genuine and reflect the experiences of your clients.
- Include Full Details: Providing the client’s name, title, and company makes the mention more credible.
- Use High-Impact Quotes: Choose quotes that focus on the specific value you provided to your clients, whether it was a solution you delivered, a problem you helped solve, or an outcome they achieved.
Highlighting Your Expertise:
By strategically uploading positive mentions to your personal branding site, you can effectively communicate your expertise and build trust with potential clients or collaborators.
Final Thoughts:
- Feature a Range of Positive Mentions: Include positive mentions from clients across different industries or roles to showcase the breadth of your expertise.
- Keep Information Current: As you receive new endorsements or client feedback, be sure to update your site regularly.
- Leverage Client URLs: If applicable, link to your clients’ websites or profiles to give your visitors a chance to learn more about the people endorsing your work.
With these steps, you’re ready to use positive mentions to boost your personal brand and enhance your online credibility!
