troubleshooting completing your profile
Want help to fill out your profile or write your bio? Here’s everything you’ll need!
Step by step
First & Last Name: Here, write your full name as you wish it to appear on our platform.
Birthday: In the 'Birthday' section, select the date of your birth from the dropdown calendar.
Note: Your birthdate itself will not be visible to brands or other hummingbirds, it’s simply used to gauge your current age.
Gender: Choose your gender from the options provided in the 'Gender' section.
Phone: Insert your cell-phone number. This will be used to send reminders for campaigns but will NOT be visible to other hummingbirds or brands.
Location: This is the community of hummingbirds you belong to and should already be set from when you created your profile.
Do you have kids?: Because some brands have campaigns directly related to parents, this information helps to determine whether you could be a good fit.
Bio: The 'Bio' section is where you can share a bit about yourself. Feel free to write about your interests, hobbies, or any fun facts you'd like to share. See below for more examples. Make sure it’s under the 250 character count limit!
Photo: This image must be less than 5MB and in the jpeg, jpg, or png format.
Address: Provide your current living address. This information is not visible to brands or other hummingbirds. It is only used if you are selected & confirmed for a campaign where shipping a physical product or gift card is necessary.
Campaign Emails: This box is automatically checked unless you change it. However, we recommend staying on these emails so you can get an update on Tuesday with the new campaigns available in your community!
Social Media: Here you’ll insert your current Instagram and Facebook follower count.
Hit “Update Profile” and you’ve got a completed profile ready to go!
