Zaadz… What Is It & How to Register

May 21, 2007

I’m setting up my Zaadz account and I thought I’d share the process so that you can ALL get started! My good friend and client, Viki Viertel, The Business Buddha, is on Zaadz (as well as a few of my other clients) and I figured it was a great time to get on there and learn my way around! The way I learn is by doing it and this process helps me provide the best service to my clients… So, hopefully this helps you in some way!

Signing Up for a Zaadz Account

1. Go to the Zaadz sign up page. Fill out the details to setup your account.

2. Wait for Zaadz approval of your account. This generally takes a few hours - sometimes up to a few days. (It also may appear in your inbox from Zaady instead of Zaadz. I think this is an error. Wonder if they know about that?)

3. Login to your account. Once Zaadz approves your account, go to the login page. Enter your user name and password.

4. Choose your Zaadz site name. Choose a URL and a title that best suits what you want to convey to your network on Zaadz. I chose Erin Blaskie ~ Business Services, ETC ~ Virtual Assistant and the URL of http://bsetc.zaadz.com/.

5. Invite friends or go to your home page. Once your URL and name is accepted, you can either invite friends to join Zaadz or you can go directly to your homepage.

Setting Up Your Zaadz Profile

1. Upload a photo. On the left-hand side, click on “Want Your Own Icon” and then Upload a Photo of choice.

2. Update your profile. Click on “Edit My Profile” under the photo you just uploaded and then fill out the details within.

3. Add some blog entries. Click on the ‘blog’ tab in your Zaadz profile and insert a few different blog entries. This will allow people to get to know you and your expertise through your Zaadz profile.

4. Add additional photos if you wish. Under the ‘photos’ tab, you can add individual photos or add a new album. You can upload photos related to your business, yourself or whatever else you’d like to share!

5. Add goals. Under the ‘goals’ tab, you can add a goal and a description that will let people know what it is you want to achieve.

6. Add to your books. Your Zaadz profile has a section devoted to books. You can list books that are on your bookshelf, books you are currently reading or planning to read and a whole array of other fun, book related things.

7. Add some quotes. On your profile, there is a tab called ‘quotes’ in which you can list your favorite quotes. I love this section of Zaadz because to me, quotes are so incredibly moving!

As I learn more about Zaadz, I’ll post future blog entries on the subject. For now - get started and look me up at http://bsetc.zaadz.com/.
