Elevate Essentials

Last Update 2 aastat tagasi
Creating a profile helps buyers understand more about you, build trust and engagement.
Create a great profile - a really good profile image 400*400px, and a few paragraphs explaining who you are, and what makes you different! Also we recommend you write in the first-person - after all its you people are going to be contacting directly!
Why?
This is the first impression you'll make, in the first second someone lands on your page. Be the best you. It doesn't matter who you are, or where you are from, or what you look like. Honesty and truthfulness scores highest with Elevate.
What's best
- Humans engage based on honesty and integrity
- Bright, smiling, honest profiles score highly
- Make sure your face takes up at least 25% of the whole image (the above image examples are perfect!)
- High resolution to make you sparkle not pixel! Minimum 400*400px
- Full fashion makeover is not necessary. If it's not you, don't do it.
A couple of paragraphs of text
Write 2 or three concise, friendly, honest paragraphs about yourself, in first person. Don't include external links - you'll have time to tell people about your website and LinkedIn later in the process. Write in the first person (I, me, my) because people are contacting you directly - remember this is a marketplace not a bureau or agency. We are fair, and we are in the background. You negotiate your deals ... your way.
Before you continue
Take a look at your profile. Brighten, crop or reshoot your main image. It is your first impression. Make sure your profile is your best work.
