What is an Online Identity?
Online or offline, your reputation matters
Your online identity is just as important as your reputation in real-life. As we use the internet more and more, it should come as no surprise that our online identity is closely tied to our real-life reputation. People perceive us based-on what they see online and offline. There are plenty of people who judge celebrities and public figures based-on things they have seen on the internet, which is actually quite unfair to them.
Would you want someone to judge you based-on the things you’ve said, shared, and posted online? Cleaning up your online identity will force people to judge you face-to-face – making job interviews, promotions, and daily interactions with others easier for you. Your personal life should not be broadcasted to the world. Anything can be taken out of context, or even worse, manipulated using Photoshop or other kinds of software. The less people know about you from second and third-hand sources (like Facebook and Google), the better off you’ll be.
It was a good idea at the time, but not anymore
As your social media accounts grow older, things that you found funny to share publicly at the time might come back to haunt you. We all have shared something publicly, it might have been years ago, but when someone goes digging for dirt, you don’t want them to pull something years-old and out of context to use against you.
Wiperts can help clean your online identity. The less people find online about you, the fewer snap judgements they’ll make. If your online identity is already pretty clean, then Wiperts can help you keep it that way.
Your reputation depends on keeping private moments limited to friends and family. On the other hand, your achievements, career, and general good deeds can and should be shown to the world. Being proud of what you do is a good thing. But putting everything on public display will land you in trouble sooner or later.
Aside from your online identity, your personal information like home address, non-work phone number, and related family members might be listed online. There’s no need for this private info to be listed online, but companies are looking to mail you advertisements, robocall you, and market specific things to your household via online ads.
Keeping yourself off the internet will stop strangers from judging you and it will also keep your personal information safe from annoying marketing companies. Wiperts can help you remain private.
