Your Internal Profile and Listing:

- Experience: Include companies or clients that you’ve worked with, if appropriate.
- Education: Provide detailed descriptions of your accomplishments, credentials, licenses, education, and perhaps suggest some related tools & techniques you use.
2. Rate
- Competition: Browseand see what other Expert Advisors in the same category are charging for their services. Use this as a guide and adjust your rate according to your number of years of experience, credentials, and such. We recommend that an Expert Advisor that is new on the LivesAlign platform start with a slightly lower rate, to entice users to book a call with you so you can start getting quality reviews and building credibility internally. Then, adjust your rate as you get more reviews posted to your profile by users. Internal search results are populated by specific keyword input and quality ratings. Making sure your profile and expertise listings are filled out will ensure you are reaching the users looking for your kind of insight.
3. Complete Each Section
- Profile: Fill out all the fields available. In your biography, feel free to add your background, accomplishments, expertise, years of experience, and anything else you think might be valuable information for a user to know that differentiates you.
- Listing: You can have as many listings as you would like to highlight your areas of expertise. For example, if you are a Therapist, you can have a listing for Couples Counseling and another for Individual Therapy, if those are the areas you focus in
