Don't Believe the Hype

Being a celebrity or a person of famous status has perks that we regular people can only dream of. Whether it’s going to fashion shows all over the world or VIP treatment at the hottest restaurant in town, it doesn't get much better than that. As easy as it may seem to get to the top one little rumor or claim can rapidly bring all the special treatment to a standstill and leave you trying to repair your reputation.

There seems to be two worlds, the world that normal people live in and then you have the celebrity world which we will most likely never live in but hey anybody can dream right. The job of a celebrity is very hard if you ask me one must try and save face in both worlds and not manage to get caught up in any type of scandal that can destroy your image in both worlds.

Believe it or not your favorite celebrity is a brand and that brand is represented every time they step outside into the public eye. So it is in their best interest to make sure they are staying clear and away from trouble if not the brand in which they represent becomes diminished. The same path should be taken when it comes to Social Media activity as well. Since the rise of Social Media there really hasn't been a day where you haven't seen a celebrity being crucified for something the put on Facebook or Twitter.

As I always state a person should never get too personal when it comes to posting things on Social Media. No matter what it is because often times when they do post things the words get twisted around and then you have celebrities blaming the media for this misunderstanding. One must understand that when you put something online 50% of people will understand it in the context you put it in and the other half will try and make a big story out of nothing.

When situations like that arise it is in your best interest to have either a great PR team on standby or quickly hire and online Reputation Management firm to help with beginning the process of rebuilding your brand back up to respectability. These two options are very necessary because as soon as your name becomes embroiled in some type of trouble the online press will have a field day with you. Web searches to SocialMedia the first thing you will see is the bad not the good doesn't matter how much money you donated or what good you did the bad is going to overshadow that.

The best way to deflate the hype bubble is getting a professional team or firm to help you. Doing this all by yourself will take too much of your time and is not the best method because you might feel compelled to argue back which is the worst thing you can do. Doing it the right way ensures you that your brand will make it out and be stronger than ever which can only mean success for your career.

The biggest people make the easiest targets to hit. Protect yourself from all attacks that can diminish your brand.
