Build and share your profile.

Step-by-step help for setting up your page, choosing a theme, publishing it, and sharing the address.

1. Get Started

Before you begin

It helps to have the following ready, but you can add everything from the dashboard as you go:

  • A profile image, if you want to use one
  • A short biography and headline
  • Links you want to share
  • Ideas for the sections you want on your page

You can return to your dashboard whenever you need to update your profile.

Your dashboard

After you sign in, your dashboard is where you create and manage your profile.

  • Finish your profile - See which basic details are still missing
  • Profile Setup - Add your name, headline, biography, and theme
  • Contact Management - Add contact and social links
  • Avatar Upload - Add or remove your profile image
  • Profile Sections - Create and organize the content on your page
  • Publishing - Make your profile public or take it offline

Select Save Profile or Save Contact after making changes in those areas. Avatar uploads are handled separately.

2. Add Your Profile Details

Basic Information

Start with the information visitors will see at the top of your public profile.

Display Name

The name shown on your public profile.

2
Headline

A short description of your role, work, or focus.

3
Bio

A short introduction that gives visitors more context about you and your work.

4
Contact Links

Add the contact and social links you want visitors to use.

5
Profile Sections

Add one or more sections for an introduction, experience, education, projects, skills, or other information.

Writing a good profile

Keep your headline concise and make your biography easy to scan. Start with what you do, what you are interested in, and how visitors can contact or follow you.

Use the rich-text editor to format your biography and add links. You can update your profile whenever your work or interests change.

7. Share Your Profile

Your profile link

When your profile is published, it is available at:

yourname.getmyidentity.com

Share this link on LinkedIn, X, your email signature, your resume, or anywhere else you want people to find your profile.

Your live profile URL appears in the publishing section of the dashboard.

Share from your dashboard

After publishing, use the sharing controls in the publishing section to copy your link, open your profile, download a QR code, or copy an email signature.
