Step 8: Create Your Short Public Profile

Estimated Time: 5 minutes

When someone accesses your content they should know that it's coming from a credible source. To enable this you need to create a short public profile - an 'elevator pitch' for yourself alongwith a decent photo. Once you're ready submit them using the form given below. 

The photo you attach should be approx. 67% covered by your head, and the expression should be preferably pleasant.form, have the following ready:

1. Campaigner Name: the name that will reflect on your profile and your certificate.

2. Short Introduction to You (25-40 words): Two sentences (max) that should give a gist of your experience and qualifications and establish you as an expert on the topic. Adding a good profile will help us in crediting you properly and will increase the credibility of your content when the readers view it. View Samples. 

   • The focus should be on your expertise in Mental Health. The short profile answers the question: “Why should I listen to your opinion on this matter?”

   • Sample Profile: See Mini's image and profile in this article written by her.
