Profile Success

  1. What is Profile Success Score?

    Imagine, if you go to a business event and stay in a corner, what will be happen? Nothing. Same hold for Music2Deal. So it is important to have a good profile including a profile picture. Moreover you need Offers and Needs to get attraction and they will lead to visitors for your profile which might bring in other business possibilities. Last not least, you need business friends which matches to your business. As it is important to stay in contact with them all your business friends on Music2Deal will be informed about new Music Offers and Needs. But also check out with whom you are business friends with. For example If you are a singer without writing songs it makes no sense to be connected to a publisher. So such a business friend will not match to your business and the success rate will not increase.

  2. What is the algorithm behind "Profile Success"?

    a) Profile (Max 30%):
    A picture will give you 10 points. 5 points for your city. Two points for each filled-in text profile information and 1 point for every "Always Needed". Every other profile entry also gets 1 point each.

    b) Offers & Needs (Max 30%)
    The recommended Offer/Need for your profile will get you 10 points.
    Every additional Offer gives 3 points and every additional Need gives 2 points.

    c) Number of matched Friends (Max 40%)
    Every business friend who matched to your profile = 0.5 point

    Additionally, the Profile Success will also be influenced by your visits to Music2Deal.
