1) Post a real head-shot of yourself. (Skip the corporate logos and character drawings for your main profile pic, but load them in your photos on your member page.)

2) Use your real first and last name so when people search for you they may connect with your profile.

3) File your entries in the proper locations on the site. Use the forum for more sales, marketing, and promotional dialogue. And post your events in the event calendar.

4) Keep the blogging section for educational, personal, inspirational, and professional communications, not sales, not marketing, and not posting events.

5) Keep your conversations professional and profanity-free at all times. If you disagree with someone, carefully respond with your thoughts preferably being open & constructive. In fact, It's okay to disagree with someone. It's even okay to 'draw' to have a strenuous debate on a topic. It's not okay to attack someone. Remember, you've got your real headshot and real name on the site. And, you may be dropped if you become unruly.
