How to Achieve Immortality Online: Preserve Your Digital Legacy

Discover how to preserve your digital legacy and achieve online immortality with practical steps to secure your digital presence.

Ever fantasized about living forever? While science hasn’t yet cracked the secret to eternal youth, there’s a place where you might achieve immortality—online.

Imagine your thoughts sparking debates, your stories being shared, and your digital presence influencing generations, all while you're comfortably napping in the cosmos.

In the realm of the internet, your digital legacy can indeed continue to echo - thereby ensuring that your life’s work, passions, and memories live on.

I’m sharing about this topic because I am a multiple bestselling author. I authored the book Your To Die For Life, which explores the profound idea of living a life so rich in purpose and passion …that your impact resonates long after your physical presence fades.

Coming up now… I’m going to share a topic not included in my book. You’ll learn how to curate a digital legacy you can be proud to leave behind.

What exactly is a digital legacy?

It's the online equivalent of the boxes stuffed in your attic… except these boxes are filled with bytes, not baubles. You know, emails, social media accounts, blogs, photos, etc.

As we increasingly live our lives online, these digital assets are becoming a highly central part of our identity. As a result, many people are asking to include them in their modern estate planning.

Does this intrigue you? Do you want to intentionally curate what you leave behind digitally - thereby making sure that your digital afterlife reflects the same values and passions that you are championing now? If so… here’s how to maintain your digital legacy - even when you’re gone.

How To Secure Your Digital Legacy

Okay! Let's dive into 5 key steps to take in order to secure your eternal spot in the digital cosmos.

1. Audit Your Digital Assets - Then Decide Their Fate

Start with a digital roll call. List every social media account, blog, online portfolio, and even those old email addresses you only used for signing up for free trials.

Next, decide which social media accounts, websites, profiles etc… get to boast about your life's achievements forever - and which should gracefully bow out.

After all, not everything deserves eternal life.

2. Leave Clear Instructions:

Write a digital will or include a digital directive in your existing will. Specify what happens to your accounts, who handles them.

Make sure your digital executor has access to this vault. Be sure to include all passwords. Plus, make arrangements for any necessary ongoing payments for premium accounts or tools that require subscriptions - so your digital legacy doesn’t hit any kind of financial snag.

3. Automate Personal Post Ideas:

You might want to take time to schedule some automated posts for personal milestones - like birthdays and anniversaries.

This personal touch can sweetly make sure that your digital self is still popping into your loved ones' feeds - with well-wishes, kind of like a friendly ghost who's really good with calendars.

And hey, why not lean into the absurdity of it all?

Consider queuing up some posts that hint you're sending likes from the afterlife.

Imagine the buzz when your account posts something like, "Hey, just saw Elvis, and he says hi!"

Or "Turns out, they do have Wi-Fi here, it’s just really slow. Miss you guys!"

And if you’re feeling daring - how about a yearly post on Halloween that says, “BOO! Just checking in.”

The point is - you can make your future posts poignant. Or you can create a playful way to keep your memory fresh, bringing laughs and maybe a raised eyebrow or two.

4. Run Awareness Campaigns:

Use your platform to continuously promote awareness for causes or illnesses important to you through evergreen content. This not only keeps your legacy alive but also helps in making a lasting impact.

5. Plan for Platform and Tool Longevity:

Recognize the potential for social media platforms and automation tools to become obsolete. Choose tools with a long-standing reputation and prepare for transitions by keeping your strategy adaptable.
