There are many ways you can build your online reputation. Why is this important? Three words: Visibility. Credibility. Profitability.

The VCP model states that people first need to know who you are. Then they need to trust you. Once these two elements are in place then the relationship can move to the third stage which is where they will either buy from you or refer you to others.

Naymz is a Social Networking site where you get two reputation scores. One is based on how the people in your network rate you. The second one is based on how the people in your network rate with others. This means that if I add someone who has a low reputation score, it will lower mine. Conversely, if I add someone who has a high reputation, my score goes up.

So one of the ways you can add to your reputation score is to join Naymz and then connect and/or invite others who already have a high reputation.
