How to create an engaging profile with Ludwina Dautovic

January 05, 2022 • Ludwina Dautovic - CEO and Founder, The Room Xchange • Season 1 • Episode 6

In today's episode I'll be talking about how to create an engaging profile on Australia's first verified house sharing platform - The Room Xchange.

Whether you’re a household or a housemate, creating an engaging profile is vital to your success in finding the right living arrangement for you. Your profile is literally a first glance into who you are and how you like to live, so you want to draw people into your world, so they’ll want to know more about you.

There are a few simple things you can do that will greatly benefit you and won’t take much time at all.

ONE SENTENCE STATEMENT ABOUT YOU
What’s the number one thing that your friends say is great about you? This is usually a great statement to add to your ‘about’ section. It’s a one liner that will show up in the public search results. This sentence, plus your profile photo, is the first thing users will see.

If you are a household who would like to offset the rent by having the housemate do some extra jobs around the house, list it here. If you’re a housemate and you are happy to offer your time to offset your rent, mention it here.
You can also add information such as any quirks you might have (people sometimes find these interesting) fascinating bits of info, location benefits, nice areas of the home or if it’s close to the beach.

GALLERY IMAGES
You can add additional photos in the gallery image section. If you are a household, we recommend you add photos of the bedroom, living areas, kitchen and outdoor areas. If it’s by the beach or a nice shopping strip you can add an image of that too. Don’t add any photos of the front of your house that might show your specific location. If you are a housemate, add some images that reflect your personality. If you’re a good cook add images of your food, if you li
