Gathering around the computer screen...

 Tech Glow How-To Videos

What a great way to market a personal brand, style, and present your side of the world to the universe! Welcome to the adventures you will take us on as you present your humor, family moments, and document an online journey to revel hereafter! 
Make a presentable, classy, and safe video profile.

Some tips with presenting yourself in ONLINE SAFETY:
  • Create a personal brand, nickname, and invest in selective presentation. You want to be known for something (you have seen the same outfit on some of those personalities on television) and want people to remember you. Update like an event and make it your seasonal transition if you plan on profiting with an audience. Highlight products, stylists, and marketing skills will be evident in your videos! This helps with keeping your daily identity safe, legal, unsearchable, and you won't be disappointed in mock versions of you if you become a big name.
  • When you are looking for followers in the thousands - you want to remember that you're going to need personal restraint. Professional guidance in marketing, search trademarks, and keywords you want to affiliate with can produce money. Know how you can invest in yourself safely by taking a class, joining a tech group (NEW-TRG), or researching at your leisure what legal complexities you may want to know! Some platforms may not allow advertising, costs and certain features can become a policy issue if you are unaware (but they can also change with your input as well)!
  • MMIW has taken its toll across the Country - why we haven't been effective in communication efforts and forming reaction parties is beyond me. Create affiliative groups and keep them local with search parties and do mock trials with missing for your area. How would you react? Did you have check-ins as a group? Did you use the buddy system and able to use technology to save you (tracking phone)? Test these technologies - report their use and recommend to your friends!
  • Do not add strangers to your profile because one of your relatives added them. This is sometimes a slow strategy to gain personal information from your page if private. The tactic is building trust. It is ok to deny them because it is best to know personally with less censored information from your private life. 
  • Monitor your check-ins. If you have no problem with your friend list, check-ins can be a convenient way of showing your migrational patterns and trusted sites. Use them wisely! 
  • Research ways you can be found and minimize that impact. The last name is huge in Native American communities. Once your last name is exposed in identifying who you know - it has to be reciprocated. Ask who they are in return, notice them, listen. People tend to relax during these encounters when they are proud to be known, don't be fooled. 
  • In any technological advancement think of it as a tool. Research it. Tracking functions. Permissions on your cell phone and turning them off when not in use. Remember to protect your contact list and question why it is needed. If the application you are using is requesting odd things from you and its a new source or random application - these are developed by actual people where there are no laws in what is available to download! 

Main thing is to always protect yourself! 


Over exposure and buildng an audience can be fun but remember that MMIW and dissecting the culture with human studies is over-generalizing our direct impact with trust, peace, friendship. Remember to support your anonymity and identity by keeping those at home. Not everything has to be shared or exposed - some culturally sensitive information should remain offline. Please. 

Do provide censorship when possible, allow the impact of emotion to affect when appropriate. Some culturally sensitive images, ideas, stories, and content must remain offline and/or subject to care for seasonal or otherwise proper care for comments. Ask permission as well. That is an etiquette that you can invest in!
