Setting Up A Complete Gank Profile

In this article, we will talk about why it is important to complete your Gank profile and how exactly to do it.

Having a complete profile will show your followers the legitimacy of your account. It shows you are active on the platform and that will encourage your fans to interact with you and support you even more.

How to Setup Up a Complete Gank Profile?

Here are the steps to set up a complete Gank Profile:

1. Add a Profile Picture

First, add a profile picture and a profile banner. Of course, you would want your followers to know that it’s really you, right? Having your current profile picture and profile banner which align with your overall branding strategy and visual style helps maintain consistency across the different touchpoints your fans have with you. It also gives them the assurance that it’s your official profile.

When they see the same or similar visuals across your social media accounts, it definitely helps enhance recognition. Apart from that, being consistent with your branding evokes professionalism.

2. Write Awesome Profile Description

Second thing, help your existing and potential fans learn more about you by writing something interesting on your profile description.

While it’s totally okay to put a simple description about you, what you do, and what your interests are, having something unique on your profile description helps your audience feel like they know you personally. This also makes you even more relatable to them, which will make them want to support you even more.

On the other hand, if you want to keep a level of mystery, you can use the profile description as a way to convey some aspects about your persona. Carefully and creatively write one and add a layer of intrigue to you which will make them want to know you more.

3. Start Posting

Thirdly, get your first post out there.

While it can sometimes be challenging to choose what your first post should be, remember that your audience will not just focus on that one post. They will want to see more from you in the coming days, weeks, months, and even years. So don’t feel too pressured about your first post. You just need to get your first one out there to kick things off and be as consistent as you can with your posts.

This is, after all, a journey in your career as a content creator and not just a one-time project.

4. Setup Donations, Membership Tiers and More

Up next, enable donations, set up membership tiers, post pay-per-view content, and/or create shop listings. Gank has a lot of monetization features which you can use depending on your content type and how you want your fans to support you. If you have a goal which will need monetary support from your audience, enable donations and set up a donation goal so your fans can directly contribute to your cause.

Some examples of donation goals our creators had in the past were donations for an upgrade to their streaming equipment, a new cosplay set, among others. Your supporters would love to help you out on your journey so let them know what you’re currently up to.

Meanwhile, if you plan to put up exclusive content and also give perks or additional rewards to those who will support you, you can put up membership tiers on Gank. Memberships work like subscriptions wherein a supporter pays a fee either monthly, quarterly, or annually to have access to these.

Note, however, that the free account only enables one membership tier and you can already do so much with this. If you want to provide even more exclusive content and earn more, you can put up more tiers by availing of any of our Boost plans. Our boost plans actually have more benefits which might help you even more in your Gank journey.

If you want to sell services, digital goods, or even physical merch, you can put up shop listings on your profile. Free accounts already come with 10 shop listing slots. Our boost plans offer more slots which are perfect if you have more offerings you want to sell to your fans at the same time.

Once you’re done with these, all that’s left to do is to share your Gank profile on your socials! Go ahead and invite your followers to be part of your Gank journey.
