Google Profile Tips

Google offers a profile feature to make it easier for folks to find you on the Web. Here’s how:

Go to www.google.com/profiles and click on Create My Profile. Login using your current Google user login info. If you don’t have a Google login, create one by clicking on Create an Account Now on the right side of the page.

There are three tabs to complete: About Me – Photos – Contact Information. You can enter as much or as little information as you want. You also have the option of controlling how much information others can see within your profile. You might include your current and past company information, education and places you've lived. Include a photo if you choose.

Add a short bio about yourself in the personality section, then add links to the site. You can also add custom links, including any blogs you have, your Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter information, etc.

One of the most important things you can do is add a customized profile URL. If you’re using this to promote your own business, you might include specifics about the work you do. The name must be 6-30 characters and use letters, numbers or periods. As an example:
http://www.google.com/profiles/marketingspeakerauthor

You can add photos to your Profile using Picasa, Flickr, or another photo service. You may also include contact information if you want. You can input only business numbers or you can limit who sees your info.

It's that simple! Once you are finished, publish your profile and Google yourself!!
