BP Update 6.3.5 - BiggerPockets Labels: Tell The World More About Yourself and Your Experience

[Joshua Dorkin]

We just deployed a new system that will allow our users to better label who they are and what they do. This system will not only allow you to better identify who you are and what your experience is, but will give users the opportunity to better seek out others on the site in their quest to network.

We'll be posting a video about this shortly, but in the meanwhile, to start labeling yourself, go to the ACCOUNT DROPDOWN and click EDIT PROFILE. Then click on the EXPERIENCE tab and you'll be taken to our Labels Welcome screen.

Once there, you'll be able to select your involvement in real estate, as well as your experience, the markets you operate in, and for the agents, your certifications.

Users can select up to 25 total labels to describe themselves.

After you add labels for the first time, you'll be able to go back to the EXPERIENCE tab and will then be on our main Labels page, where you can add or remove labels.

You can also hover over the various occupations that you may have added (if you're an investor/agent or some other combo) and select your primary occupation which will show throughout the site.

Once you add your labels, your profile will show these for all visitors to see (unless you have your profile set as private, of course).
