UPDATING YOUR PROFILE

We are a very social community and would love to know more about you. I have an inside tip to help you get social more quickly – it's what I call the "golden triangle." It's on your profile; it consists of your buddy icon, your social handles and your bio. Once you can get these items completed on your profile, the rest is gravy, or marshmallow topping, or stevia --- you know something really good. :) Of course, only share the information you are comfortable sharing about yourself.

When it comes to your profile picture or avatar, I always request a real photo. Cartoons or filtered images make it seem like you are hiding – not too social. So, post a natural (but decent!) picture of yourself. Remember, a smile is a great way to make friends quickly.

Telligent.com Profile Bio Hints:

Sometimes it can be difficult to think of something to say about yourself. So, I came up with a few questions you can answer then fit together to create your bio paragraph.

  • How would you describe your job? (Job title. In your own words, what do you do?)
  • What brought you to the Telligent Social community?
  • How would you describe your professional experience? Education? (How long have you been involved on the social industry?)
  • What do you want people to do? (i.e., “If you want to know more about [blank], you can always contact me at [blank].” Or you can ask people to follow you on one or more of your social channels.)
