Refer other Penny Hoarders to the community!
Are you enjoying the new community so far? Did you know that you can easily refer the community to others you think might like to join as well? There are a few ways to do this: 1. You can hover over your profile and click the "invitations" tab. From there you can insert any email address you'd like to invite to the community. 2. Under the welcome announcement on the homepage, you'll see "invite others to this community." Once you click on it, it will take you to the same field to type in...

Re: Refer other Penny Hoarders to the community!
I have been referring people I know. I don't contact many of them through email though so I have just been sharing a link to the community on social media. It would be nice if there was a way to invite the same way on social media.

Make your profile stand out by updating your avatar!
While we love Abe, and those adorable Abe-inspired avatars, we also have a ton of other super fun avatars you can choose from for your profile! This is a great chance to showcase a bit of your personality in the community - are you more of a palm tree or sneaker? Do you want to rock out with red hair or maybe have glasses? How do you update your avatar (profile image) you may ask? In your profile settings, if you click "Update your Profile," scroll down to Profile picture/Avatar and choose...

Re: Make your profile stand out by updating your avatar!
Excellent suggestion @Briana . I think this is the most important part of any online profile. The profile avatar or image. Personally I prefer to use a passport type picture (face and shoulders). Because as much as I love my cat, she's not the one engaging audiences. I am. In my opinion, showing your face is a way of building trust. And trust is the cornerstone of recognition which is important to be successful online.

Good point, and I agree. I'm with you on the actual photo.

Re: Make your profile stand out by updating your avatar!
If I didn't prefer an actual photo over a stock image, I would probably choose something like a money tree or a treasure chest if those were options. I like shiny stuff

Re: Make your profile stand out by updating your avatar!
Something like this would probably be my choice for a stock image.

Re: Refer other Penny Hoarders to the community!
Hi @Briana , I have been inviting my LinkedIn connections to the community. But received a notification "you have sent the maximum invites", after reaching 49 invites. My LinkedIn community is currently working its way toward 17K connections. All of which are internet professionals from US, UK and Canada mostly (over 95%). And I would be delighted to invite all of them to The Penny Hoarder Community. Am I inviting too many too fast perhaps? Is there a limit to how many people we may invite...

I am getting the hang of it, but for example you noted the FAQ guide; when I go there I see But I don't actually see that list or Join the Discussion s list on the home page; what I see is : I also see buttons for ask question and create a post - which I suspect are congruent to "join the discussion" but could not find the direct link to that page https://community.thepennyhoarder.com/forum-directory until I went to the create a post page....and that is a shame because the forum-directory...
