You want to make sure your images are simple and convey everything they need to, team photos, player pictures and event photos are perfect to keep handy.  Remember, you do not want to distract the viewers, but rather want them to be focused on you and what makes you special. It is strongly advised not to crop yourself out of a group photo, instead take a photo (or get someone else to do it), and make sure it is of just yourself.

It is better to post key facts about yourself in a descriptive manner that will paint the picture for your readers. Make sure every fact is worth it, represents you, and flows into the next fact, just like an informative story. 


List relevant skills and experiences. 


Your skills and experiences are crucial to building credibility online through your profile and better market yourself. You want to make sure you put down skills and experiences that are most relevant to what you want your profile to achieve. Keeping your information updated ensures people see only the best and most relevant information about you.
