The Essential Guide to Avoid Digital Damage, Lock Down Your Brand, and Defend Your Business
With virtually nonexistent oversight, the Internet can easily become the judge, jury, and executioner for anyone’s reputation. Digital attacks and misinformation can cost you a job, a promotion, your marriage, even your business. Whether you’ve done something foolish yourself, are unfairly linked to another’s misdeeds, or are simply the innocent victim of a third-party attack, most of us have no idea how to protect our online reputations.
How to Protect (or Destroy) Your Reputation Online provides a wealth of practical information on how to protect your online reputation and even remove negative content from search results. It will teach you how to:
• Take control of your online voice and build a reputational firewall.
• React and respond to an online attack.
• Understand and manage online reviews.
• Use marketing strategies that will both improve your online reputation and bolster your bottom line.

John also shows you how to deal with revenge porn, hate blogs, Google’s “right to be forgotten” in Europe, the business of online complaint sites, even the covert ops of reputation management.
