A survey by Career Builder shows that 70% of employers check online profiles before hiring—make sure you impress.
Have You Googled Yourself Lately?
In today's digital age, your online presence can make or break your career, especially at the executive level. Companies leverage SEO to ensure they appear at the top of search results, outshining their competitors. But have you ever checked how you rank when someone searches your name, particularly within your industry?
Picture this: A senior employer is about to make a crucial hiring decision. They Google your name to learn more about you. As an executive, your online presence should reflect your leadership and achievements. However, they stumble upon another person with the same name who has a more impressive online profile, or worse, they find nothing about you. This leaves them questioning whether you truly possess the qualifications and experience listed on your resume.
Don’t let a weak online presence image cost you your next big opportunity.
LinkedIn Lists Your Skills; Executives Diary Tells Your Story.
Most likely, you’ve shared your resume with potential employers, which often includes a link to your LinkedIn profile, essentially replicating the same information. But imagine if you could share your personal narrative instead—your perspective and how you can help them succeed. We offer you a platform that goes beyond a standard magazine interview; it establishes your footprint on the internet. Watch this 3-minute video to learn more.
Maintaining a personal website can be challenging. While it’s not overly expensive, you need to keep it updated with the latest technology and content. A personal website is like your own media house, sharing your story and achievements. With Executive Diary, you gain the endorsement of a reputable third party. We only shortlist and approve legitimate leaders, ensuring your credibility through our exclusiveness.
We are excited to introduce a new networking feature to our magazine. In the upcoming update, executives will be able to create their own library of contacts from different industries, similar to LinkedIn connections. When someone adds you to their library, you will receive an email notification. If you add them back, you become "Diary Fellows," enabling you to send secure, end-to-end encrypted messages through our Diary Messenger. You can even install Diary Messenger on your server and store all your data securely.
Social Card: Just like a business card, it tells your identity.
About Me: A preface to your public digital diary.
My Story: Add up to 365 pages of your story to your diary.
Social Diary: Pen memorable posts from all of your social media accounts in one place.
Books & Journals: List all your books, research papers, and blogs that you have published.
Recomendation: Collect endorsements of your work from employers and partners.
My Diary**: Add one page of wisdom or your daily reflection to your diary.
My Library**: Add fellow executives' diaries to your library and network with them.
Diary Messenger**: An end-to-end encrypted letter-sending system that works independently like Facebook Messenger, and you can install it on your own server.
We are becoming an open source and federated social network, allowing you to take control of your data.
Features marked with ** are upcoming.
There's a popular saying: "If you are not paying for the product, then you are the product." This is so true for media features—nothing is truly free, not even from the big media giants.
Established players often earn money through indirect deals.
Companies, founders, and seasoned professionals hire marketing agencies and pay them to secure features in prestigious outlets.
Our Founder’s experience with PR Agencies.
"When I wanted to share my story in a top business magazine, I contacted several outlets. One representative quoted me $10,000 to be featured in a prominent magazine. He explained that they wouldn’t accept me until I had a presence in smaller magazines. So, he proposed building my online presence first, then getting me published. They also paid these outlets a significant fee for each feature, with limited spots available."
To be very clear, there is no such thing as a free feature.
We charge a one-time fee of $97 to cover editorial and operational expenses.
This fee allows us to maintain a clean, ad-free platform and continue our mission of preserving professional stories.
However, if you prefer to pay less, you can contribute as little as $17.
We will match your billing address and provide you with the Executive Diary Verified Seal on your social card.
This ensures that every executive on Executive Diary is legitimate, helping us avoid fake accounts and preventing our platform from becoming another lead source for automation software like LinkedIn.
To sustain our costs and keep our vision alive of preserving human history and wisdom, your small contribution is crucial.
We understand that financial situations vary. If someone cannot contribute the full amount or wishes to contribute more, they are still welcome.
We do not enforce a fixed price point. It's not just a price but a maintenance cost. Some fellows may pay less, and some may pay more, allowing us to balance the equation.
