Ten Top Tips for an Effective online profile: Tip 1

Tip 1: Forget your CV

If you are looking for a job, you write a CV. If you are looking to interest people in you online, you need to write something else...

Telling everyone that you are the founder and director of Baggytrooser Bag Busters, founded it with your great aunt in 1917, and which has almost 11.5 employees in Skateraw, Rejyavik and Badalona will not cut it. Frankly, I don't give a damn.

Instead, tell me something interesting about you.

In an online profile, I want to know about you first, your business later (if at all). I want to know what inspires and interests you, what makes you tick. The fact that you are the best Bag Buster Broker in Europe is something I'll learn about later perhaps, and then I might want to do business, but NOT BEFORE I KNOW YOU.

In a sentence:

Your profile should tell the story of you, how you got to here, where you are going, and who you are going with.
