Trainer profiles

When a visitor to the TrainerBase or Learning Practitioner' Associaation web sites signs up and is approved they become a User of the Association facilities.

 

Membership of the Association is gained by taking out a subscription, which is currently £100+VAT. A member that wishes to have a profile on the TrainerBase web site can upgrade and the additional cost of the profile is £90+VAT).

 

A Member with a profile on the Trainerbase web site starts with a basic pop up window profile. A trainer with a Basic profile is identified in a search listing with the 'more...' link. The Basic profile has limited facilities and limited search engine optimisation.

 

The fully enhanced profile (available after activation) is a web enabled, search engine optimised window. Activating the profile can be done in Edit Profile and will form some of the later top tips. The level of customisation of the Full enhanced profile is significant and can seriously increase your rankings on the internet. To identify a Full enhanced profile click on a member's 'MORE...' link. Statistics tell us that Full enhanced profiles get 4 times the number of visits than a pop up profile and purchasers of training tell us that that are more likely to view a enhanced profile first.

 

In further postings I will explain some of the intricacies of the TrainerBase web site and how to raise your profile including:

• Points and Ranking (getting yourself up the search results)
• Activating and populating a Full enhanced profile (and how to help your own web site)
• Sharing resources (without giving away your stock in trade)
• Who been looking at your profile (how popular are you)
• Networking (making contacts in a virtual world)
• Applying for opportunities (how not to get yourself eliminated before you start)

And if there are other topics that you would like an explanation about, please feel free to get in touch.
