Completing your profile
Completing your Indiegogo profile helps enhance your experience on the platform, whether you’re a Backer or a Campaigner. Here’s why it matters and how to make the most of it:
-
For Campaigners:
- Providing details such as your name, location, story, profile image, and outside links (e.g., website, Facebook, Twitter) is crucial for building credibility and trust with potential backers.
- This information is displayed under the "About" section of your campaign page, located to the right of your main pitch image or video. A complete and thorough profile helps backers evaluate your campaign and learn more about you and your team. Learn More about inviting people to your campaign's team.
