How do I optimize my seller profile?

Your seller page is vital to acquire and reassure buyers. Most of the buyers interested in your services will pass by this page. It's essential to spend time completing it exhaustively. We explain how to modify it in this question.

Why your profile picture matters 

Buyers are always reassured when they can see the face of the person selling a service rather than a logo or an avatar that bears no resemblance. Seeing the person behind the service is key to winning a potential buyer's trust.

💡Our advice: Upload the best photo of yourself. It'll make you look more professional and reassuring to your future buyers. You can also display your last and first names instead of your username.

Your title and description

The title appears on the top of your profile page and marks what you do. For example, you might be a "voice-over actor" "An independent consultant on company creation" or even "A special effects video editor". Choose your title well. It needs to be coherent with the services you offer.

You can then complete your profile with a description. After that, you can share your skills, portfolio, work experience, and degrees..So focus on who you are, what fascinates you in your work, your approach with clients, your motivations...

💡Our advice: Get the ComeUp Plus Premium plan to be able to format your description, which will be more attractive and convincing.

Skills

In this part, you can choose a maximum of ten skills that characterize you most amongst the hundred we propose. You have hard skills available (like languages, mastering different software, a technique...) and soft skills (being patient, methodical, a good listener...). You lack inspiration? We have listed all the skills authorized here.

💡Our advice: Choose exclusively skills you master 100% and that define you the most. Focus on coherence.

The portfolio

It's the central part of the profile. This section shows what you've done and what you know how to do. Whether you're a copywriter, community manager, editor, graphic designer, architect, sound engineer, or developer.. Trust us, you need a portfolio because buyers choose you based on your work.

You can add as many projects as you want to your portfolio, and each can be linked to a service.

⚠️ Only put projects you have completed in your portfolio.

Work experience

This section is super simple and allows you to highlight what you've done. Just like a resume. Your studies, jobs, or even medium or long-term contracts as an independent. You can create a timeline of your activity up until today.

💡Our advice: Only add experiences related to what you currently do, or that allow you to explain that it has brought you lots of experience. Having been a pizza delivery driver won't be helpful for buyers if you're a web developer.

Degrees and certifications

You can add your degrees and official certifications here (Bachelor's degree, BTS, TOEIC, Google Analytics certification...). This will complete your professional experiences.

💡Our advice: Only put degrees and certifications that are recognized and related to what you do.
