Everybody has social capital when they live in a community, work for somebody, be a volunteer, student or politician.

Documenting your daily actions where others can see and vouch for you is very important. This kind of an approach will enhance your social value and let others know how valuable you and your services are.

The key to nurturing your social capital is to find a place where you can document all your actions and make them available to the people who matter to you.

• It can be a counselor for admissions in a University,
• an employer looking to see your abilities and skills that cannot be fit into a one page resume.
• An organization who is looking to honor you for your community services.

These are just a few cases where your social capital comes to play. As a consumer the businesses would like to know your buying habits and offer you special deals for patronizing the business, recommending it to his or her friends, etc. You are the most valuable person to the society, community and businesses and you need to know that and take care of it wisely.
