No matter where you upload and distribute your video or film content to, perhaps the most important reason why you are motivated to take that action is to build your up your profile, and to say to the world “I’m here and look at the talent I have”.

Video sharing sites can be great for the ego if you see lots of viewers consuming your content, but nobody knows the story behind how that video came to be through the lenses of each team member involved with the project.

Each production project is an opportunity to build your reputation as well as helping your team members build up their own as well. The reason why eBay works so well is because it’s a community built on trust, and whoever can’t earn the trust of the community will ultimately fail. Mostly on the seller side, but I’ve heard stories of these individuals getting a new eBay account giving them a second chance to gain the trust needed to become successful.

With each product and in Spidvid’s case each production project, a reputation is either enhanced or it gets hurt. It’s up to each individual to either commit and earn positive feedback, or not commit and earn negative feedback.

The Internet was long an anonymous medium in which nobody had a real name, or even a picture for others to connect to. That’s how many of us wanted it because fear was driven into us that we could be abducted, rapped, or even killed by the creepy strangers and predators lurking out there online.

There still are many bad people out there looking to hurt innocent and naive people, but for the most part many of us are looking to build social profiles which establish our credibility and to let others know that we are good, and don’t want to remain anonymous anymore.

You might be saying to yourself right now that you have references who would back you, which I have no doubt that they would do, but imagine having everyone you have worked with in the past endorsing you for each and every project you were part of. Now that’s a digital trail of reputation which is pretty valuable, and an on-demand solution for showing anyone who wants to you know about you, exactly what type of individual you are. Having your team members tell stories about who you are as a person, and reasons why others should want to work with you also is like reputation gold for your personal brand.

Our goal is to connect the right combination of individuals to undertake projects that translate into remarkable video and film entertainment, but we also want to provide a platform where a profile can be shared and leveraged on important things like resumes and media kits.

It’s been under a week since we launched our public beta and to date we’ve been impressed with all of the new video creators, actors, writers, directors, videographers, editors, and others who have signed up to become members of our community. Today I’m going to outline how you can easily create a quality Spidvid profile so that other members of the Spidvid community know that you’re for real, are a quality individual, and are ready to collaborate with them on video production projects.

How to pimp out your Spidvid profile

1. First you need sign up to get a Spidvid account.

2. Check your email account for an email from us and then click on the activation link provided.

3. You are now in your Spidvid account. Next click on the Edit Profile link which takes you to the page where you get to upload your picture, tell your story, provide information about yourself, and include links to your site, blog, and/or social networks.

4. If you are a professional be sure to select (by clicking check boxes) what specific talents you have i.e. an actor, writer, videographer, editor, director, music artist or whatever else you may be involved in.

5. Be sure to upload the best possible picture of yourself because this image will not only show up on just your Spidvid profile, but also on every UnleashVideo.com video page that you were a team member of.

Additional Information

My Website(s): Here you list all of the websites, and social network profile links you want to. For each one you have type it and then separate each one with a comma. i.e. I have http://Twitter.com/JeremyCampbell, http://Facebook.com/JeremyCampbell, http://Spidvid.com, http://UnleashVideo.com.

My blog(s): Same as above except list the link to your blog, or blogs if you write posts on more than one site. Again, separate multiple blog links with commas. Have a video blog? If you do then embed some of your top video blog posts here. If you don’t have a blog then no worries just leave this section blank.

My RSS feed(s): Have an RSS feed link or links for your site or blog? Here’s where you want to list them.

My video(s): This is perhaps the most important section to your profile because here is where you can embed videos which you have created, and helped to produce in the past. Have you uploaded videos to YouTube, Metacafe, Revver, DailyMotion, or other video sharing sites? Great, just copy and paste the video’s embed code here. If you have more than one video you can space the embed codes out so the videos display one above the other on your profile page. You can also just insert links here if you don’t want to embed the videos directly on your profile, but we would recommend placing them here so other members can click play and watch them without leaving.

Summary: Provide a short introduction about yourself, a paragraph or two will do. Show off your creativity, talent, and what type of video production projects you’re interested in being a part of on Spidvid.

I’m passionate about: Everyone is passionate about something and if you’re a Spidvid member that likely includes producing videos. Some other passions could be sports, celebrities, family, pets, or hobbies. People want to connect to others who share their passions so be sure to include at least one.

Education: If you graduated from college or university you should say which one or ones, and what your diploma or degree is in. I’m a two time college dropout (in business marketing and computer programming) so I openly stated that information in this section. School didn’t interest and engage me, but entrepreneurship certainly does.

Work experience: List past jobs and if you have one your current job. If you are a contractor or freelancer you can also communicate that information here as well. If you prefer not to then that’s fine if you want to leave this section blank.

Honors and awards: Are you proud about your past accomplishments? If you were acknowledged for something in your life then please share it here in this section. I look forward to reading about the successes in your life.

That pretty much does it, follow these easy steps and you can have a quality Spidvid profile that tells the world who you are, and what you stand for. If you have any questions about creating a profile then please be sure to contact us, we would love to hear from you.
