Once you become a paid Member as either a Consultant, Supplier or Educator the following Site Features and Benefits are at your disposal.
Your Profile (resume) is published to the Internet. This content of this Profile is best described by viewing the Profile of our Featured Consultant shown on the Home Page of the Site and read this post.
If you do not have your own Web Site, the following features serve to make our Site seem like your own. If you do have your own Web Site, you can put links to it in your Articles, Forum, Photo Gallery and File Download Area. And of course, you could link from your Site to your Profile Page and published posts on Exceptional Consultants as well.
Everything that you Publish to any of these areas serves to increase your visibility to the Internet Community at large, as well as, the Users of the Exceptional Consultants Community. In fact, the more that you Publish, the better. This is the key to your success. You are not limited to X number of words or space dimensions as in a printed ad. You can literally flood the Internet with good Content about you, your company and your offerings. That is what we actually hope that you do. You see, if all members Publish volumes of good Content, then the Site and everyone that uses it benefits. The perfect win-win situation for all.
You can develop a following because we encourage Site Users to participate, and you can too by hosting your own Forum with How-To articles or other useful information. Another chance to show off your skills!

Additionally, a separate syndicated feed for each Category Group is automatically aggregated to FeedBurner.
