				To market yourself most effectively, consider the following tips when creating or editing 
				your listing:
			
			
			
			
			
			
			
			
		 
		
		
		
			Title Tips
			Your listing title could include an overview of the advice you can provide; the topics you can 
			discuss; and specific questions you can answer.
		
 
		
		
		
			Description Tips
			Your listing description should tell potential customers who you are, what you know and why they 
			should call you. Try to be clear, concise and creative when creating your description -- it's 
			your best chance to sell yourself and your listing!
		
 
		
		
		
			Using HTML
			
			
				Use basic HTML to reformat your listing and make it look great! Check out some HTML tips in 
				our guide to Using HTML to improve your listing. 
				Also, take a look at some of the listings on the site that use HTML to varying degrees.
			
			
			
				Note: When you're creating your page, please make sure that if 
				you're using HTML, you don't use relative references to images. If you have questions about 
				why using relative links will not work, please contact 
				Customer Support.
			
		 
		
		
		
			Choosing an Appropriate Per-Minute Fee
			This is the price customers pay for each minute of conversation. You keep 37% of the price 
			per minute your choose for regular consultations. Choose your price carefully, but keep in 
			mind that you can change this price at any time.
			
			
				- Select a per-minute fee that you feel represents fair value for your time.
- Try to make your rate competitive with others in your category.
- Minimum Fee is $2.00 per-minute for US listings.

			Add a Photo
			
			
				- 
					According to our research, listings personalized with photos earn three times as much as 
					listings that lack this simple marketing tool, so add a photo to your listing and add 
					color and excitement to your detailed listing page.
				
- 
					You can upload your photo to both new and old listings. You can edit or change your photo 
					for a listing in the "Update" listings section under 
					My Listings. Photos must be in JPG, GIF or BMP format, 
					no larger than 400KB, and square (e.g. 95 pixels x 95 pixels), so that they'll display 
					properly throughout the site. We suggest that you send a head shot, as it's usually 
					easier to see.
				
- 
					HTML users: please see the "Add Images" section in 
					Using HTML.
				
 
		
		
		
			Verify Your Credentials
			
			
				- 
					Having your credentials verified proves to customers that you are who you say. Our 
					third-party service will verify your educational degrees, professional licenses, employment 
					history, or trade affiliations.
				
- 
					Once your credentials are verified, we'll post a checkmark next to your listings on each 
					category page and search result page, letting customers know that your credentials have 
					been verified.
				
- Your verified credentials will also be listed on each of the listings you create.
 
		
		
			Create a Schedule
			
			
				- This allows you to control when you'll be available to receive calls.
- 
					You select the days and times that you would like to be listed as available, and our 
					system automatically changes your availability according to the times you request. You 
					will only receive calls during these scheduled times.
				
- 
					You can manually override your schedule at any time by going to the home page and clicking 
					"Yes" or "No."
