UPworld’s New Profile Features Optimize Your Online Image

18Mar08

We have added several new features to your UPworld profile and portfolio! So think of your UPworld profile and portfolio as your very own website – with your own, customizable URL! It’s this profile that allows you to effectively market your skills and services to other professionals in the community.

Setting up and maintaining your profile and portfolio is easy!

Your Profile
Check out these new features! Go to Edit My Profile > Account Info in order to change your:

  • Profile URL: customize your URL address, which is defaulted to your name (www.upworld.com/johndoe)

  • Profile Visibility: determine whether you want only members or all visitors to see your profile

Go to the other sections of your profile to provide more information about your business. The more complete your profile is, the higher you place in UPworld search results.

UPworld profiles have also been indexed for Google searching! So keep in mind what information you want visitors to see. (Note that your contact information is kept private and is only available to members in your network.)

Your Portfolio
UPworld portfolios are now categorized under three types: Property, Professional Work, and Products. Real Estate professionals have been assigned a Property portfolio by default and Product professionals a Product portfolio. Professionals in all other industries have Professional Work portfolios. Go to My Portfolio to change the type and status of your portfolio.

Now, you can do more than just add an image to your portfolio. Now you can specify the location, building type, status, size, cost, client, website, and the role you played for each project you include in your portfolio.

If you haven’t yet set up your profile and portfolio, we can help! Detailed profiles and portfolios are essential for expanding your professional network.

Just send us your resume, company or personal website, your photo, project or property photos for the portfolio section, and other related information. Just email this information directly to Christina Tu, UPworld’s Content Coordinator, at christina.upworld@gmail.com.
