Communities.
Don’t log out, but click on the Profile button. You can click
on the little pencil icon next to the “Bio” heading to type in a
bio description.
Won’t Get Fooled Again
Unlike the old listserv, any attachments to a post become
part of the library for that Community. Now instead of
asking for someone to repost that brief on Relief from Stay
issues, you can directly search for it. In fact, the entire
Community is searchable!
There are pencil icons to add job experience, education
experience, contact info and you can add a picture or even
import a LinkedIn profile if you are active there and want
to save time. You can look at my Profile at http://network.
nacba.org/people/eugene-melchionne to get an idea of what
is possible. Go wild.
Don’t Let It End
You can look for that post from your favorite member or
issue by searching. In fact, every member who posts
also has an online link to their profile so you can contact
them directly through the NACBA website without having
to search for an email address or phone number. Every
current member’s info is right there for you to find.
There is a lot more to explore in the NACBA website, but I
don’t want to wear you out. Feel free to explore, you can’t
break anything. There is a NACBA store where you can
renew your membership, buy webinars and materials and
donate to NCBRC.
(And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you
make….)
Where The Streets Have No Name
I just mentioned Profiles. Every current member in NACBA
also gets a Profile page on the website. That might not sound
like much, but the profile pages are indexed by Google and
the search engines, so if you are complete on your profile,
a potential client will see your name come up in a Google
search. Since the trend of search is to localities and many
clients now only use their cellphone to access the Internet,
a potential client stands a better chance of finding you in an
internet search if they physically close by.
How do you set up your Profile? Since you are already
logged in to take advantage of the Communities, why not set
up your profile? It can be really easy.
First, look at the NACBA Communities page and check the
upper right hand corner of the page. You will see an icon or
picture with a downward facing triangle next to it. Click on
