The SDC Media site is what you see when you are not logged into SDC, and you arrive on SDC.com.

SDC’s “members-only” site is what you see when you are logged into SDC and can connect and interact with other members, modify your profile settings, etc.

Your future customers want to get to know you before they feel comfortable making a purchase from you.

In your profile’s short description, make sure to include who you are as a business and what types of products / services you offer. If you’ve been featured in the media or won any awards, mention that. You could also include what your mission as a business is, how long you’ve been in business, and your brand’s values.

*Bonus*: If you can express how your brand can help someone solve a problem they have (for instance, you have an herbal remedy for erectile dysfunction), it will help potential viewers connect your brand with the solution you’re offering.
