5. 2. conversation is good
Don’t let conversations out of your view, where you cannot
check them. Conversation always has to be your favorite guest
in your social networks.

6. 3. criticism is good

7. In the majority of cases, people who criticise you don’t tell you
to your face, but they will say it somewhere else: you don’t know
how and when, neither the consequences. So, if someone
criticises you, use it as an opportunity: whoever writes to you
wants answers - this is the best starting point for a dialogue.

Don’t underestimate people’s memory and the memory of
the web: never delete something wrong. People will forgive
your mistakes, but not dishonesty.
Transparency is the best insurance for your credibility.

18. 9. more quality,
less numbers

19. If you have 5000 'like' on your Facebook profile but your business
is not going well yet, it’s necessary to think again about what you
are doing. Your reputation depends more on the quality of your
relationships than their number.
