Therefore it is important to keep your social profile look good so that it may attract teams that are searching for you online. The following are some of the techniques on how to keep your social profile look good:

Post relevant content:

Avoid contradicting content such as those related to sexual immorality, illegal drugs, excessive alcohol consumption, etc. One bad photo on Instagram and you are out!

Include your memberships and affiliations:
