When readers come across one of your stories on Medium, or through Facebook and Twitter, they’ll be curious about who you are and what you have to say. The more complete your profile is, the more likely it is that those readers will go on to browse your other stories or decide to follow you on Medium.</p><p id="4207" class="pw-post-body-paragraph oe of gu og b hx oh oi oj ia ok ol om on oo op oq or os ot ou ov ow ox oy oz gn bk">Here are a few best practices for creating your Medium profile:</p><h1 id="0ac4" class="pa pb gu bf pc pd pe hz pf pg ph ic pi pj pk pl pm pn po pp pq pr ps pt pu pv bk">1.
