Imagine your instructor profile as your very own personal website—a one-stop digital storefront where potential clients can quickly see who you are, what you offer, and even schedule and pay for services. Making it effortless for others to access your “website” is crucial for driving traffic, establishing trust, and, ultimately, booking more lessons or sessions. Thankfully, sharing your profile couldn’t be easier—just tap the Share Profile button on your app’s home page, and you’re all set!
In this article, we’ll walk you through the simple steps for sharing your profile, show you the various ways to do it (both online and offline), and highlight the key benefits that come from having a shareable, “website-like” profile.
1. How to Share Your Profile
Open the Web App
Launch your SwingMatch Web app from your home screen or visit app.swingmatch.ca and login to your instructor account. Head to the Home Page.Locate the “Share Profile” Button
Look for the button labeled “Share Profile.” You’ll find it prominently displayed on your home screen.
Choose Your Sharing Method
After tapping the button, you’ll have multiple options for sharing:Social Media: e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn
Messenger Apps: e.g., WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram.
Airdrop: for iOS devices.
Email: send your profile link via email.
Copy Link: paste it in your email signature, website, or anywhere else.
QR Code: This requires a few extra steps but we'll show you how later in the article. Download or print for business cards, flyers, or signage.
Personalize Your Message (Optional)
Consider adding a short, friendly note—something like: “Check out my full profile, book a lesson, or learn more about my coaching services!”Hit “Send” or “Share”
That’s it! Your unique profile link is now on its way to your chosen audience.
2. Think of It Like Sharing Your Personal Website
Your instructor profile contains everything a personal website would have:
Credentials & Expertise: Highlight your certifications, awards, or educational background.
Services & Offerings: Display lesson packages and types of coaching sessions.
Scheduling & Payment: Let potential clients book a time slot and pay directly, similar to an e-commerce or booking plugin on a personal website.
By sharing your profile link or QR code, you’re effectively saying, “Check out my personal site to learn all about my services, credentials, and book instantly.”
