Update and Edit your Profile on a Regular Basis!

By
Industry Observer with Lloyd Pans

Wait! What? Why on earth should you Update and Edit your Profile on a Regular Basis? "I spent all that time when I signed up entering all that information and now you want me to change it?"

 

Yup.....Please allow me to tell you why. Maybe you first signed up with ActiveRain a few years back, in that time things have changed, maybe a new contact number, email address, or business address. Maybe you changed companies since you first signed up or got married and your last name changed. Did you reach a specific achievement or hit a milestone? If none of those then how about the fact that it's a brand new year? What are you looking forward to this year? What are some specific goals for the next couple of months, year, or even longer? What areas do you plan to focus on? Etc...

 

"Um....Excuse me Sam, how do I make changes to my profile?" I'm glad you asked. The first thing you need to do is log in to your ActiveRain profile. Next you need to locate the link on the left side of your profile page. Then, you guessed it! Click on the link and it will open your profile in edit mode. From here you can update and edit your entire profile.

Make sure all your basic information is correct.

 

When ever you make changes to this area, be sure to click the save button!

The next area of your profile is really cool. You have 3 customizable sections that you can label whatever you want! Enter the heading of your choice and click the save button.

My headings look like this: 

Once you choose your Headers, just enter your text in the box below your new header. There's even a formatting tool bar!

Not sure if you can answer this, I just read a post that said we shouldn't use our name for our blog for SEO purposes. Is that true? Should we be using keywords instead? It makes sense but it seems so impersonal.

Sam,

Well, I just learned something new from reading your Profile Update post. Your introductory $1 @ month for 2 months is a remarkable offer for New RainMaker's!

Best,

Steve

Steve - It is by far the best offer we have made available, and to not take advantage of this opportunity would be a crime!
