Your profile is the first thing a potential fan sees, and on FAYDER it has to be complete before it becomes visible to fans at all. Finishing setup is literally what switches you on. So it's worth doing properly — and it takes less time than a warm-up.
Your photo and banner
Use real, high-quality images that are recognisably you. Not a logo, not a sunset, not a blurry crop from a group shot. Fans are backing a person, and the first thing they should see is that person's face. A clean headshot or a strong action shot works for your profile photo; use the banner for something with atmosphere — you mid-race, mid-training, mid-celebration.
Your bio
Two jobs here: who you are, and what fans get by backing you. Keep it short and human. Lead with your sport and your story — where you've come from, where you're headed — then tell people plainly what's behind the door: the training updates, the honest race debriefs, the version of your journey nobody else sees. Write it the way you'd say it out loud.
An intro video
A short welcome video does more selling than any paragraph. It doesn't need to be produced — a phone-shot clip of you saying hello, what you're training for, and what fans can expect is perfect. It proves there's a real athlete on the other side and sets the tone for everything that follows.
Your sport and your story
Fans don't just back results; they back a journey. Make sure your profile says what you compete in, what level you're at, and what the next chapter looks like. And keep your competition schedule up to date — it shows on your public profile, so fans can see exactly what you're building towards.
Before you tell anyone
One last thing before you start promoting your page: post at least three pieces of content first. Your first visitors will decide in seconds whether there's something here for them, and an empty page answers that question for you. Three posts — even simple ones — mean every person who lands on your profile sees immediate value.
- Real photo and banner, recognisably you
- Bio that covers who you are and what fans get
- A short phone-shot intro video
- Sport, story and an up-to-date competition schedule
- Three posts live before you share the link
Do those five things and you're not just set up — you're worth backing.
