A few tips to improve your social profile

I received an email from Marita Roebkes of Social Media Academy this morning that contained a gem of a piece of information – “A few tips to improve your social profiles”. The 10 items that Marita lists are all simple things but when you add them together, become a powerful force

Marita’s tips were

1. Have a consistent photo across all profiles – it’s your “personal logo”
2. Don’t make your photo be “special” – you are unique 100% guaranteed
3. Cross reference other profiles i.e. from Twitter you may point to your LinkedIn profile
4. Always state your real name – nick names are like avatars – so 1990
5. Write your bio as a combination of your business profile and personal focus
6. If you can provide links to your other social networks and blogs
7. Consider all activities on a site as part of your profile, your identity
8. Provide it in a way that it works for both your best friends and your customers
9. Even so you may separate business from personal life – the viewer may not
10. Point to your profiles whenever you have the opportunity

This is a very intelligent list and one we should all take note of.

Thanks Marita
