Trainer profiles
When a visitor to the TrainerBase web site signs up and is approved they
automatically get a 5 day free trial period. This enables new users to
review the opportunities on the site and have a Basic profile, visible
on the system. A user that does not become a member of the Association
after the 5 day trial does not have a profile on the TrainerBase web
site (they have a single line entry).
Members of the Association can have 2 types of profile: the Basic
(£100+VAT) and the Full enhanced (£190+VAT).
The Basic profile is a pop up window containing contact details,
Associated Disciplines (subjects ticked) and any resources uploaded. A
trainer with a Basic profile is identified in a search listing with the
'more...' link. The Basic profile has
limited facilities and limited search engine optimisation. A new member
with a Basic profile receives 3 free copies of TJ and can upload a CV
(seriously recommended by purchasers) and a photograph.
The Full enhanced profile is a web enabled, search engine optimised
window. The Full enhanced profile does require activating and the pages
populating. This can be done in Edit Profile and will form some of the
later top tips. The level of customisation of the Full enhanced profile
is significant and can seriously increase your rankings on the internet.
To identify a Full enhanced profile click on a member's 'MORE...'
link. Statistics tell us that Full enhanced profiles get 4 times the
number of visits than a Basic profile and purchasers of training tell us
that that are more likely to view a Full enhanced profile first.
In further postings I will explain some of the intricacies of the TrainerBase
web site and how to raise your profile including:
-
Points and Ranking (getting yourself up the search results)
- Activating and populating a Full enhanced profile (and how to
help your own web site)
- Sharing resources (without giving away your stock in trade)
- Who been looking at your profile (how popular are you)
- Networking (making contacts in a virtual world)
- Applying for opportunities (how not to get yourself eliminated
before you start)
And if there are other topics that you would like an explanation about,
please feel free to get in touch.
If there is anything else you would like to know about what the
Association is doing to benefit its members please feel free to contact us.
