Visited Your EzineArticles Bio Lately?

Want some FREE Links?

This time, no article submission required! (really)

To get maximum exposure and value from your EzineArticles
membership…

Help your readership FIND you, your business or
organizations website, your blog, your social media links
(FaceBook, Twitter, LinkedIN, MySpace, FriendFeed), your
personal website or portfolio and even your Amazon books.

If you’re one of the many authors who’ve never taken the

time to “fill in the blanks” on your author bio page,

now is the time to rectify that little oversight.

Finding the form is easy.

Just follow these steps:

Log into your EzineArticles Expert Author Account

From the Author’s Area, click on the “Profile Manager”
drop-down menu,

Select “Edit Author Bio”

Fill in as many of the empty fields as possible.

The more information you can provide, the more chances
your readers have of finding you, your website and your
products or services. Each of these blanks provides a

link that your reader can follow back to you.

Here what you get for FREE as part of your EzineArticles
Extended Author Bio:

Links to 3 different business websites

A link to your personal website

A link to your blog

A link to your FaceBook profile

A link to your MySpace account

A link to you on Twitter

The ability to auto tweet your newly approved articles

A link to FriendFeed

Links to 3 of your products on Amazon.com

The chance to tell your readers more about you

A place to provide keywords about you and your niche

Very few authors are so firmly entrenched in the Internet

that they can fill in all of the blanks. On the other hand,
almost all of our expert authors are able to fill in a few.

Whatever you don’t fill in, won’t show…so don’t worry.

Fill as many as you can now, and then mark on your calendar

to return in a few months. By that time, you may be able to

fill in a few more blanks… and who knows, maybe we’ll have
given you some more blanks to fill in! =)

And be sure to INCLUDE your author photo!

One thing we haven’t mentioned yet is the importance of
uploading an Expert Author photo (like the one to the right)

as well. As a matter of fact, you must have both your author
photo and bio uploaded in your profile in order to have a

public Extended Expert Author Bio URL.

Follow these steps to upload your author photo:

Log into your EzineArticles Expert Author Account

From the Author’s Area, click on the “Profile Manager”

drop-down menu

Select “Edit Author Photo”

Click on the “Browse…” button and select your picture file

Click the “Upload Photo” button

Remember:

Photo must be actual photo of YOU or have YOU in the photo

We will accept renderings, drawings or non-photo images if

they are of YOU

We will not accept company and/or personal logos, symbols,
crests, avatar images, violent, explicit or offensive

material, or copyrighted images

Photo must be .jpg or .jpeg file

File size must be Less than 100k

Your uploaded photo will automatically be scaled to
approximately 160-by-200 image size (size will vary depending

on aspect ratio)

To update a photo simply select a new photo and select

upload photo. This will replace your previous photo if one
exists.

Bottom Line: Having an author photo uploaded into your
EzineArticles profile not only adds credibility to you as an
author, it’s also a requirement if you’d like to have your
extended author bio show up on EzineArticles.com… So find

a nice photo of you, or take a new one, and get it uploaded
today.
