What is WorldSupporter profile and account

• With your own WorldSupporter account and profile page you can inspire others and yourself to contribute to a more beautiful world
• Not only can you promote your favorite charities and projects, you can also get ideas or be inspired by other Supporters

why a WorldSupporter profile?

How do you create a personal WorldSupporter profile?

Can others respond to your contributions or you to others?

• Yes, that's possible. Especially if you invite others in your message to respond, or work with a question, concrete follow-up action for your reader, or, for example, challenge the reader with a statement, opinion or dilemma, others will respond.
• Anonymous responses are only possible to a limited extent and are only posted online after moderation (often once a week). Always log in to quickly use the comment option under a message posted by yourself or someone else.
• And as with all online profiles and social media, if you like others to respond to your contributions, please post a comment yourself in another Supporter's blog or contribution!
• Others can also easily follow you, or you, others, by clicking on the 'Follow' button under a mini-CV or avatar

How can others discover and view your profile?

• You can make your WorldSupporter profile public or only visible to other World Supporters
• You can alert others to the existence of your WorldSupporter profile in several ways:
  • by giving someone the direct link to your profile, or using the 'social share' options on the page
  • by creating content, with each contribution there is a link + photo/avatar to your personal profile
  • by leaving a comment/reaction - with a link - on content that matches your contribution(s)
  • via the overview of Worldsupporter profiles, where popular content will be highlighted more often
  • by linking your CV from your own social media posts or account

• Everyone writes differently and interprets 'nice' in different ways. Take a look at some blogs from other Supporters in the Magazine and think about why you like one contribution (written) more than the other.
• Check out the contributions of Supporter Nelleke: This is a blog that no one is going to read and Supporter Jessica: Why and how to blog

Tips:

• Vary - Always use different tools (blogs, suggestions, photos, bundles, etc.) to add something to your WorldSupporter CV and personal profile.
• Activate - Actively involve your personal network in your WorldSupporter activities. Share your latest content via social media and get them to follow your profile and mark your contributions as a 'favorite'. The more followers and 'favorite' flags, the more you appear on home pages and overviews.
• Motivate - actively read content from other Supporters and let them know what you think of their content, maybe they will also take a look at your personal profile
• Complete - use the add image options, add any relevant tags/categories and use the 'resources' option to provide specific 'read more' suggestions

• BulletPoint Summaries: ultra-short summaries displayed in bullets

• ExamTickets: consist of short bullets with subject-oriented exam tips and sample questions, so that you know what you have to learn and how you should study
• ExamTests: consist of bundles of exam and practice questions that provide extra understanding, test your knowledge and give insight into the way in which an exam will be taken
• Study Notes & Sheets:  summaries of lectures, working groups that give you more insight into what is considered important by teachers.

Why add a Summary or Study Note?

• This content type allows you to explain a certain subject. This can be based on your own texts or on summarized versions of study material
• Many Supporters use this content type for university course material, but feel free to use it as a broad tool for knowledge transfer
• Always make sure that you do not violate copyright if you use material from others and make good use of source listings

How to add a Summary or Study Note?

• tip 1: by adding category tags your content will be easier to find by people with similar interests that not yet follow your account
• tip 2: bring several summaries together and create easier navigation for yourself and your followers
• tip 3: add an image in the 'image' field, because it will be used to highlight your contribution on your profile and other spotlight locations on WorldSupporter. Without an image your avatar will be used for these purposes.
