Our Members Directory is designed to help you discover, connect, and collaborate with other members of our community. Follow this guide to make the most of your membership network.
1. Accessing the Directory
To get started, log in to your account. Once logged in, click on the “Members Directory” tab located in the main navigation menu or your member dashboard.
2. Finding Specific Members
You don’t have to scroll through the entire list to find who you’re looking for. Use our built-in tools:
- Search Bar: Type in a name, company, or specific keyword (like “Graphic Design” or “Marketing”).
- Filters: Narrow down your results by location, membership tier, or industry expertise using the dropdown menus.
- Sort: Organize the list alphabetically or by “Recently Joined” to meet our newest members.
3. Viewing a Member Profile
Click on a member’s name or profile photo to view their full details. Here, you can find:
- A brief professional bio.
- Areas of expertise or interest.
- Social media links (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.).
- Direct contact information (depending on the member’s privacy settings).
4. Connecting & Messaging
Found someone you’d like to reach out to?
- Send a Message: Use the “Message” button on their profile to start a private conversation within our platform.
- Save to Favorites: Click the “Star” icon to save a member to your personal favorites list for quick access later.
5. Managing Your Own Visibility
You have full control over what others see on your profile:
- Go to Account Settings > Privacy.
- Choose which details (email, phone, or bio) are visible to the public, to members only, or kept private.
- Note: We recommend keeping your bio and skills updated so other members can find and collaborate with you!
Pro-Tips for Networking
- Upload a Photo: Profiles with professional headshots receive 5x more views and messages.
- Be Specific: In your own bio, list exactly what you are looking for (e.g., “Looking for a co-founder” or “Available for freelance consulting”).
- Check Back Often: New members join every week!
