Online Verification | LimeExchange Blog

Online Profile? Why do I need to have a profile on online services marketplace? Why is it important? Tell me more…

Well…Your Profile is your online resume, it is your credibility online. The first thing which a buyer would look at is your profile and in this glance you need to generate interest in the Buyer’s mind, who is looking at outsourcing work. Buyer needs to know at a glance about you and develop trust online. Unless he feels comfortable with what he sees, he would not reach out and spend time for evaluating your proposal.

You might ask now, so what do I do?

Well…Your Profile should have

- Concise and precise details on Summary/About section, Education, Relevant Work Experience, which help establish your background.

- It should consist of your images, photographs, videos, which you can showcase as your online presence and help establish authenticity.

- It should contain a complete list of all your skill sets corresponding to your expertise/specialized area of work (say Flash, Adobe in Graphic design; Joomla, Drupal, Perl PHP, Java in Web Development; dotNet, VB, VC++ in software development; Online Blogging, Ghost writing, English to Russian, Chinese in Writing & Translation and much more), which you possess.

- And against the common understanding of literal nomenclature of ‘General Information’, precise and valid information about your existence & authenticity. Valid address, and details, which a buyer can search and find out easily and establish a verifiable online presence.

This and many such small things would go a long way in leaving a lasting impression on the Buyer’s mind and establish credibility and trust.

Just reiterating on the widely discussed and publicized tips, following are 5 things to remember as an avid Internet user, to maintain sanctity of your Identity:

Play Safe when online: Use a smart password, which cannot be guessed easily.
Play Safe always: Ensure that your username(s)/password(s) are unique across all the important sites/accounts to minimize exposure in case one of the accounts is hacked. General human tendency is to maintain the same account/password across accounts, as it is easier to remember. We highly recommend that you change that habit and set separate passwords.
Get Organized: For all important transactional sites, ensure you have set enough alerts to be informed via email/sms of any transactions or any change of private information, as soon as they happen. If you do not remember making a transaction or change, never hesitate to call. All businesses value customer satisfaction first.
Never Share you passwords with Anyone: At LimeExchange, your password is stored in encrypted format and even we do not know your password. We will never ask you for your password. Maintain the same trust with other online sites and never give any of your account passwords to anyone, even if it’s a representative of the company you are dealing with.
Stay away from Phishing Sites and emails: Think twice before clicking on a link contained in an email. Even if you click, please ensure that the url appearing in your browser starts with http://www.LimeExchange.com or https://www.limeexchange.com , before entering your LimeExchange username and password. You should follow this as a practice for every site you transact on.

Privacy In our endeavor to constantly improve your secure experience with LimeExchange, there may be occasions when our customer support executive would call you or email you (but never to enquire about private information/or account password) to confirm certain transactions. We would Hope we will have your support in making LimeExchange a Fraud Free community.
