Welcome to the first video of the Critique My Profile series! Today I checked out Elaine of @nicholsonsgems, so watch the video below and take a look at my list of tasks for Elaine:
-
Some actionable tasks for Elaine:
Bio
- Get rid of those links! If you want to direct people to your LinkedIn profile/blog/Flickr page, post them clearly in your background or delete them.
- Change your name to your actual name.
- Edit your bio so you include the interesting stuff about yourself!
Background:
- That info is way too small and the links are too long. Enlarge the text and shorten the link so they’re easy for people to type.
- Showcase your jewelry! Redesign your background so you’ve got some pretty baubles to show off.
- Transfer your background bio to your actual Twitter bio. Don’t forget to fix the grammar!
Followers:
- Find and engage with other jewelers, stores, design blogs, etc. Use Listorious to find relevant tweeps.
- Here are some interesting people you might want to emulate:
Tweets:
- Get your links working.
- Start tweeting about more jewelry-related stuff.
- Not seeing many RTs, start spreading the love!
- Maybe photograph a piece of jewelry a day and post it to your feed?
- What’s with the long links? Add substance to your tweets by shortening your links and talking more.
Alright guys, what do you think? Did you find this video helpful? Do you want me to critique your Twitter profile? Do you have more ideas for Elaine? Leave your comments below!
