Profile description - There really are no good or bad description rules in my opinion.

Unless of course your profile description doesn't say anything at all, that would be bad.

You profile description should at the very minimum say your first name or how you would like to be addressed. (Don't assume that your username be how Friends here on Wealthy Affiliate should address you, People don't do business with people that they don't know, like & trust) It's difficult get to know someone who doesn't have a name on their description page)

Your description page, much like your website doesn't need to be perfect because it is something that can be constantly evolving as you grow in your journey.

My profile description talks about my life journey as well as what inspires and motivates me. The #1 thing is that your profile description should reflect who you are so that Friends can get to know, like & trust you.

My profile picture is cut off from a family picture taken Christmas Eve 2014, the first Christmas without our Dad.

And I call profiles without picture "Black Puppets" and I refuse to follow those.

Nice Loes, I would never had guessed that your profile picture was from a group photo. It looks like a glamour shot. Black puppets = not good, they definitely need to add a photo.

Nice blog Tony on a very important issue. Pictures are very important, and like you said so people can relate to you in a better way. It is pretty hard to get to know a person through just there writing. But I guess they have there reasons, and hopefully they will change it at some point.

I like your profile and your son. It tells allot of who you are..I guess I need to add maybe a few more pic's too. lol!
Thanks Tony,
Linda
