Did you know your Wealthy Affiliate profile username, image (photo) and description matters a great deal?

Here are the 2 main reasons why it matters?

1. Wealthy Affiliate Community

• Do you want more Wealthy Affiliate members to follow you?
• Do you want more community members to interact and comment on the posts you write and the training you create?
• Do you need help from as many community members possible when you get stuck?

These are all excellent reasons to optimize your Wealthy Affiliate profile to increase your followers. With more followers come more interaction—the same as on social media platforms.

Wealthy Affiliate members are in nature, not judgemental when it comes to profiles. The impact of your Wealthy Affiliate profile within the community is not that big, but it can still make a difference.

2. "Outsiders" and Referrals

Let's get to the main reason why you need to optimize your Wealthy Affiliate profile.

Wealthy Affiliate has a very lucrative affiliate program.

If you decide to promote WA, you will most probably direct people from outside to your WA profile at some point. I have a link on one of my websites to my WA profile.

What about your new starter referrals?

What will they see and experience? A blank or blurred profile image, a description with nearly no information or maybe a username that does not inspire comfort and trust?

The idea is to welcome newcomers and "outsiders" into your "WA home" with warmth, friendliness, comfort and creating a sense of trust.

You don't need to create a masterpiece to accomplish this. Something simple and "true to yourself" is a good place to start.
