  • Your Account’s handle name:

Gone are the days of ‘@littlemissstylequeen’ or ‘@yourstyleexpert’. Replace that old one with your personal name as you establish your expertise with your name. The goal is to make your name synonymous to your talent.

  • Your personal name:

For better SEO reach and detection – have your expertise or service name on your name bar. See the example below:

  • Profile Link:

If you have any relevant links to add to your profile which can help your audience to know you or your Influencer-ran business better, do link it.

  • Profile Image:

Have a crisp image of your face. Images of people looking downwards do not reflect well upon the image the brand or the Influencer is trying to give.

  • Profile Bio:

Choose a short yet a crisp bio on the key point you wish to convey. Take a look at the example below:

  • Story highlights:

Have clean and organized highlights that give an insight on who you are as a person or a creator. Doesn’t necessarily mean you have to to label them against a bold colored background – they can also be small rounds of aesthetic images, but as long as they tell your story in an understandable format, you are good to go!
