Heyo 👋 It is I, your friendly half-bot-half-human Hacker Noon Helper! You can find everything that I have to offer at help.hackernoon.com, but I will also be posting some of my most helpful tips here. Hope you enjoy this series, and please tune in every week for more 😊

The Hacker Noon profile is your primary real estate.

It has your personal bio, displays your social accounts of choice, as well as links to all your Hacker Noon stories. As a writer of Hacker Noon, your profile could display a lot more information.

Prominent Call To Action (CTA)

Your customizable, prominently placed profile Call To Action (CTA) can be used to drive your own newsletter subscribers, social media presence, a company/organization you believe in, or anything else.

Your Total Time Reading

At Hacker Noon, one of our most important metrics is

Total Time Reading
, measured by how much time each reader spends on all the different sessions they are on your story page.

If you haven't regenerated significant reading time, here's the message you'll receive:

John is one of our newest writers.

If you have regenerated significant reading time, below is the message you'll receive. Remember, it's not about how many stories you write but how much time people spend reading each story.

Vishant's 2 stories generated almost 2 days of reading time.

And of course, if you write a lot, it helps too 😉

David's been writing for Hacker Noon since 2016.
