How do I optimize my seller profile?

Your seller profile is one of your most important assets on ComeUp. It’s often the first thing a client checks before deciding to trust you. A complete, professional, and reassuring profile can make all the difference.

📸 Use a strong profile picture

A real face inspires more trust than a logo or generic avatar. Showing who you are helps build confidence with potential clients.

💡 Our advice: Use a clear, natural photo where you're easily recognizable.
If you're comfortable doing so, display your full name instead of a username—it’s a great way to build trust from the start.

🔤 Display your real name

You can choose to show your first and last name instead of a pseudonym.

It shows that you’re confident in your work and transparent with clients.

💡 Our advice: Enable this option to increase credibility right from the first impression.

🧑‍💼 Choose a clear title and write a compelling description

Your title appears at the top of your profile. It should clearly state your specialty (e.g. Voice-Over Artist, WordPress Developer, French-English Translator) and match the services you offer.

In your description, highlight:

  • Your background
  • Your passion for your work
  • Your client-focused approach
  • What sets you apart from other sellers
💡 Our tip: With ComeUp Plus Premium, you can format your description to make it more attractive and professional.

🛠️ Add relevant skills

🖼️ Build a strong portfolio

This is one of the most visited sections by clients. It’s your chance to show, not tell. Demonstrate what you can do. Whether you're a writer, community manager, video editor, graphic designer, architect, sound engineer, or developer, you need a portfolio. Clients judge you based on your work.
