BookMe Professional Onboarding Guidelines

When registering on BookMe, you will go through 6 steps to set up your profile. Follow the steps below to complete your setup:

Step 1 – Basic Registration

  • Complete your registration (login, password, etc.) to proceed to the next step.

Step 2 - Basic Information

  1. Name & Vanity URL Insert your name and create a custom "vanity URL" for your profile, similar to LinkedIn.
  2. Professional Title Create a professional title (160 characters). This is crucial for local and Google searches. Make it concise and reflective of your skills.
  3. Bio Write your bio. This is your first impression for potential clients. You can use your LinkedIn bio, but it's recommended to tailor it to the skills you're showcasing. (Pro tip: Write in the third person).
  4. Experience List your most relevant experiences and the timeframes (similar to a CV).
  5. Gender Insert your gender, as some clients prefer professionals of a certain gender.
  6. Nationality & Location Add your nationality and current location.
  7. Languages Choose the languages you speak professionally.
  8. LinkedIn Profile Add your LinkedIn profile for vetting and credentialing purposes.
  9. Submit Click "Submit" to proceed.

Step 3 - Media

  1. Profile Picture Upload a professional headshot.
  2. Background Optionally, upload a background image. If you don't have one you can leave it blank or find one on Google if needed. Just search "LinkedIn background photo free".
  3. Introductory Video Film an introductory video about you as a professional. This should combine your bio and experiences. Be authentic and keep it under 3 minutes.

Filming Tips

  • Presentation: It's about how well you communicate yourself authentically, not video quality.
  • Options for Recording:
    1. Laptop: Use the BookMe app. (Pro Tip: Place yourself in front of a window or with a light on your face. Avoid shooting with a window behind you.)
    2. Phone: Record using the BookMe app on your phone's browser. (Pro Tip: Hold the phone horizontally, ideally on a tripod at eye level.)
    3. Upload a Pre-recorded Video: Use a phone or professional camera and upload the finished product to BookMe. This will enable you to also edit the video before uploading. (Pro Tip: Record in HD (1080) to avoid long upload times and large file sizes).
  • We recommend you use option 1 or 2. You can get a better “one take” in an instant.

Additional Filming Suggestions

Remember: Your video will never be perfect in your own eyes and you will never feel 100% comfortable with the end product. That is just the way it is – there is an expression in the content creation world: Good is good enough and done is better than perfect! So don’t worry about how you look or sound, it is clarity of message you have to consider most:

  • Practice your video as many times as you feel comfortable.
  • Do not film with your back to the wall; allow some depth in the video.
  • Sit facing a window for better lighting on your face.
  • Use a tripod or stack of books to position the camera at eye level.
  • Upload or Record Video Once filmed, either upload the video or use the app to record it. Then, click "Next Step."

Introductory Video Content Suggestions

  • Introduce yourself, your training, and experience.
  • Discuss your unique style and how it helps clients.
  • Describe what a typical session with you looks like.
  • Explain the problems you solve (match them to your topics/treatments).
  • Include a call to action, like inviting the client to connect with you.
  • Mention if you offer a free chemistry session or trial.

Step 4 - Submit Your First Ad

Ads are crucial for marketing your specific skills on BookMe. They focus on the individual skills or services you offer.

How to Create an Ad

  1. Choose a Profession This must match your qualifications – either coach or therapist.
  2. Select a Specialisation You can create ads for up to five specialisations. Create your first ad now; you can create others later.
  3. Select Treatment/Topics Choose up to 5 treatments/topics that align with your specialisation. (Pro Tip: In your ad video, discuss the selected topics/treatments. Also for each ad you create, do not duplicate your treatments/topics - use unique tags to make sure you can be searched better across more areas)
  4. Years of Experience Add your years of experience for that specific skill.
  5. Description Write a brief description (300 characters). Remember, your video has the content.
  6. Client Outcomes Describe what clients can expect from your service (300 characters).
  7. Price per Session Set your price per session.
  8. Complimentary Chemistry Call If you offer a complimentary call, tick the box.
  9. Submit Click "Submit" to proceed.
  10. Upload or Record Ad Video You can create or upload your ad video. Remember to:
    • Communicate your style, professional philosophy, or methodology.
    • Keep the ad punchy and to the point (1-2 minutes).

Pro Tips for Shooting your Ads

  • Shoot each ad with a different background or setting.
  • Ensure the environment looks and feels professional.
  • Make your ad clear and concise, focusing on your chosen specialisation and topics/treatments.

Note: If there are specialisations or topics/treatments you'd like to add, please let us know.

Step 5 – Required Documents

All professionals on BookMe are certified and vetted. You must upload certificates for:

  1. Company Certificate or Entrepreneurial Registration All experts are independent contractors and are responsible for professional liability and taxes.
  2. Relevant Qualifications Upload qualifications related to the specialisation you are advertising.
  3. Proof of Insurance Ensure certificates include your name or company name.

Click "Next Step" to proceed.

Step 6 – All Set

  • You will receive a unique URL for your profile (modifiable in the "Edit Profile" tab).
  • You can now create more ads. Access additional features by clicking on your profile icon and then "Ads."

Create up to 5 ads based on your skills. Attach up to 2 topics/treatments per ad (up to 5 for founding members or subscribers).

Things to Remember - FAQs

Q1: Does it cost anything to list my profile or ad? A1: No, it is completely free. Later, an automated booking system will charge a commission, but for now, you can list and communicate with clients for free.

We are still working on this

We will be launching a service where people can describe their issues and topics and we will match them with 3-5 experts meeting their criteria. This means that someone that is unsure what coaching or therapy is all about will have an expert do the matching for them. We expect this to be a huge benefit and service to both the experts and especially clients.

We are still working on this

You will be able to follow coaches and therapists which will mean clients can bookmark your profile. It will also mean that when you post articles or content those clients that are following will be notified via email (cool right).
This will be available once we go live officially. Until then please register and we will keep you posted.
