i m p o r t a n t ?
When people go to your account, your
profile is the first thing they see. If you
don't spend time crafting and polishing
your profile, people won't be clear on
what you do and you risk losing potential
target followers.

9. Profile Picture: Choose Carefully
Make sure the photo you choose
truly represents your business.
You should pick either your logo or
a high quality photo.
For @sbzteam, we picked this
photo because it encompasses our
fun-loving, hard working attitude
that goes along with our brand.

Zoom in and move the
photo around until you are
happy with the selection,
then click "crop"
This will automatically save
the cropped photo as your

Next step: Insert a URL

11. 3: Insert a URL
This is the only place where you
can post a live link.
Choose carefully: think about
where you want to direct traffic the
most.
Is it your website?
A new product?
You can always change it when
your focus changes, or as you
release new products.
When you're done, click "done" to
save

12. URL Tip: bit.ly
SBZ team tip: Use a bit.ly in this
space. This allows you to
shorten links and customize
them.
You will also be able to track
the bit.ly and see how many
people are clicking.
Click on the bit.ly logo to learn
more and create your own.

13. URL Tip
The last line of your bio will be
right above the URL you post.
Make sure it's obvious where
the link will lead visitors

14. BONUS TIP: Use a CTA in Posts
Since the link in your bio is the only live link you can
use, make sure you bring followers back to it on your
posts. Here's a #SueBTip to get you started.
