A guided walk through the four-step profile setup and what makes a profile people trust
Your Profile Is Your Storefront
Your profile is the first thing shoppers and brands see. A complete profile builds the trust that turns visitors into followers and buyers, and it is what brands browse when deciding who to invite to paid campaigns. The good news: Rendezvu walks you through all of it in one guided flow.
The Four-Step Setup
Head to rendezvu.co/onboarding (or hit Start onboarding on your profile) for the four steps: About you, Profile photo, Your details, and Your socials. It takes about five minutes, progress saves automatically after every step, and you can finish later at any time without losing anything. When the four steps are done, your profile hands you the next move: building your first gear list and adding your first product.
Three of the four onboarding steps. Each one saves as you go, and the counter lives in the button.
Profile Photo
A real photo of you builds instant trust. Use a clear, recent shot, at least 400 by 400 pixels (JPG, PNG, or WebP). After you choose one you can drag and scale it inside the circular crop so it sits exactly right. Action shots work great for adventure sports. Your profile photo is the first photo in your gallery, so you can swap or reorder it any time from Edit Photos on your profile.
Title, Bio, and Motto
Your title is the one-liner under your name, so make it concrete: "Mountain Guide" or "Desert Ultrarunner" beats "Outdoor Enthusiast". Use the bio to say why your recommendations are worth trusting: your experience, certifications, expeditions, or years of testing gear the hard way. The optional motto is a single line you live by; it shows up under your photo and as the quote on your generated share slides.
Discipline, Specialty, and Location
These three fields are how shoppers and brands find you. Be specific: "Trail running" and "Ultra distance" connect you with the right audience faster than "Sports" ever will. Location gives your recommendations context, since mountain gear advice from Colorado reads differently than coastal gear advice from California.
Social Links
Link where people already follow you: Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Strava, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, or your website. One link is enough to finish the step, but each one you add reinforces that you are a real, active person. Runners can also connect UltraSignup, which verifies your race results on your profile.
What Visitors See
A visitor gets your photo, motto, name, title, and social links at a glance, plus a live stat showing how many people have geared up through you. Tapping About expands your bio, your details, and your highlights (up to three achievements or certifications you add from your profile). Below all of that sit your lists, which do the actual selling. Each section has its own Edit button when you view your own profile, so you never have to redo the whole setup to change one thing.
The visitor view: header at a glance, then About and details expand on demand.
Get to Ten Products
Ten products is the bar that puts your profile in front of shoppers browsing the hosts directory, and your profile shows a progress meter until you reach it. After that, keep things fresh: update photos seasonally, add new gear as you adopt it, and refresh your bio as your experience grows. A profile that looks maintained earns more trust than one that looks parked.
