Always Cover Your Ass, Get It?

From keepcalm-o-matic.co.uk

Yeah, I know the title is pretty vulgar but the point needs to be driven home. The point being, cover your ass for real. Think about it, what would you do to spy on your competition?

Okay, good you get the gist of why I said what I did. This is a dog eat dog world and online is no different. You have many who are not as creative and definitely as original as you since there is only you.

You are the kind of relentless spirit who invents things from the racy thoughts in your head.

The pioneer of industry who saw a niche and jumped in full throttle. No holding back.

You, knew what you came in to do with set goals and a business plan I hope.

You must always reinvent yourself without "Wannabe's" coming in like scavengers so un-original and obvious through their work.

The last "Pep Talk", is what this whole topic was leading to. Do not ever waste a minute again thinking about them, those "Snakes", "Energy Busters" or any hater for that matter. They obviously have to much time on their hand not doing much on their own "Whatever" to be copying you and doing as you.

It is your brand. Respecting it is protecting it. Protect, protect, protect.

Tips:

Log out of search engines of any kind and search that way about your industry, ideas and content. Some will follow all the platforms you are on and set up shop. #CoCitation Co-Citation

Do not log in with the social media plugins. Many will be notified on the platforms they pretended to befriend only for the real sole purpose to get ideas and monitor. I personally do not do this to study anyone. Once you understand information collection on the web and what is working for your opponent, you just watch to make sure they drive their message home correctly. Use the email for the account.

Make sure to be conscience of your replies and such because this too can be monitored. Not saying do not join a conversation but be wary of who is feeding off your moves and correcting theirs. The way things are online, one is supposed to set themselves apart. So copycats only can go so far before their scraping hurts them and any other tactic they use to just copy without proper credit if warranted.

Just study your competitions online presence profile and set yours apart in distinct ways. Branding is about using that thing or those things that work for you and embellish on them so to speak. Yet, do not make sudden moves without thinking of the best way to do undetected. This is why one learning the platforms they use well is also key to a great online presence. Cover Your Ass, Got it?
