If you are on Medium to write and make some money, then creating a great profile is key. It’s like picking up a book at the bookstore to check out the author’s bio page. What are some things you look for?

1. Headshot
2. Name or Pen Name
3. The section on who the author is

The same is true for Medium. If you want to gain fans, not followers, a profile is important.

After you log in, you will notice the menu bar on the left-hand side of your screen. The icons (in order) are house (home page), bell (notifications), stacked bookmark (lists), a page with lines (your stories), graph (stats), pencil on top of a box (write), and waaaay at the bottom is a circle with your profile picture.

That is your profile area. Click on your picture and this box will pop up:
