Getting To Know Your BitSignal Profile

The process of generating a profile is as easy as signing up!

1. Go to https://mybitsignal.com/
2. Click sign up and enter a username, email, and password
3. Fill in the optional information if you wish
   1. The optional information will autofill certain information on your account and can be changed at any time

When adding the optional information to your profile, it will become accessible by clicking the dots beneath the profile’s header. To edit this information, click the pen icon next to your name on the profile to add whatever information you chose! This information can include:

The next step is actually customizing the look of your own profile. Click the theme button at the top of the profile or the edit icon on the banner image, and your screen should show you the options for choosing your own theme. This can be as easy as picking one of our five default themes, but keep in mind the default themes cannot be edited or changed, including the ability to change the banner.

The other option is to create your own theme, and this is where you can let your creativity or your brand (or both) shine! Select the “New Theme” option under the “Your Designs“ section, and begin editing!

Here are the main factors in theme creation:

1. First, take a look at the tabs at the top of the editor. You can switch over to the “Background” option and give your profile the banner image of your choice! The optimal size for the banner image is 1000 x 333, and you can alter and move your images by clicking and dragging them up and down or zooming in and out to get the most out of your chosen image.
   1. Note: Your banner image can be either a gif or a video in the Pro/Teams/Enterprise tier!
2. Back to the design editor! The first option in the editor is to give your theme a name. This can help you organize your themes if you chose to create multiple and switch back and forth between your themes.
3. The next step is choosing a font. There are 28 fonts to choose from (including the default) to help you give your profile the perfect personalized flair.
4. Finally, color! The first thing your clients will see when they open your profile. There are seven color options to edit, and as you change them, keep an eye on the profile preview to make sure you like them! The options are:

Then let's set up messaging! Messaging is an entirely optional feature but is set to active by default. If you’d like to customize your messaging options or disable the messaging feature entirely, let’s go through those options here:

1. First, click the messaging tab at the top of your settings page.

2. At this point, if you’d like to deactivate the messaging feature, click the check box next to “Enable Messaging” to uncheck it and click “Save”. Otherwise:

3. Fill in the email you’d like the messages to be forwarded to.

4. Here, you can also update your greeting! When people click to message you on mobile or visit your profile on desktop, this will be the text displayed indicating that messages are available to be sent. Add whatever you like here, or leave the default greeting, “Contact Me!”.

5. Click save, and your messaging will be fully ready!

Now that you’ve got messaging perfectly customized to your account, click the envelope icon in the top right corner to view your BitSignal inbox!

In your BitSignal inbox, you can view your inbox and messages, contacts, sent messages, and trash, as well as composing and sending new messages. Now, your business card has a fully functioning messaging system!

Now that your BitSignal account is fully created and customized, it’s time to share it with people, and monitor its performance! Head over to the Signal Strength tab on the settings page, and there you’ll find your personalized link and QR Code. Click the clipboard next to the link to copy it or click “Download QR“ to take either one.

Add them to your website, your social profiles, your email signature, your products, or wherever else your clients and customers might find you!

Under Analytics, in the free tier, you have access to the number of downloads and card views your profile has received since it’s creation. Under the Pro, Teams, and Enterprise Tier, you gain access to analytics pertaining to the performance of your custom buttons.

Now that your card is complete, your clients are going to use it in a number of ways to get your important information. We’re going to walk you through your card uses here, and give you a few ideas about how to present and share your information in the best way possible.

• When your BitSignal profile is shared, above your buttons is a smaller button that says “Download Contact”. When clients click this button, they will be prompted to import all of your available contact information directly into their contact list, making you readily available to clients!
• Once your scheduling feature is enabled, a new button will be added above all of your custom buttons specifically to set up scheduling. When the button is clicked, clients will be prompted to schedule their meeting with you to your availability as monitored by Calendly!
• Messaging is available for clients in the button with the envelope icon at the top of the profile on mobile; on desktop, it’s the box next to the profile. When a message is received, not only will you get an email notification, but you will also have the message stored in your BitSignal inbox!

Sharing your BitSignal profile can be done in many ways, including the ways mentioned above (i.e. NFC Card, custom QR Code, custom link, etc.), but there is one other way to share your profile:

• At the bottom of your profile in the left corner is a button with a QR Code that says ‘Share’. When you tap this button, a QR Code comes up, perfect for sharing your profile from your phone without using any links!
