IMDb - "Tips" by Pat Kaye

IMDb Tips from Pat Kaye (edited)
1. I believe Everyone in the biz should have the link to their IMDb page in the ‘About’ section of their Facebook page. Put it under ‘Websites and Socials Links’ in the ‘Contact and Basic Info’ section. You worked for those IMDb credits and possibly you paid for an IMDb Pro account so make that page easy for people to find. 
2. For the step above and ANYTIME you share your link, it CANNOT start with http://www.imdb.me/ or http://m.imdb.com/. It needs to start SIMPLY as http://www.imdb.com/name with no ”me” after www.imdb. nor an “m” before it. Otherwise, your home page with your credits will not be viewable to most people.
3. To check if you have multiple pages on IMDb, you need to TYPE IN your name and see what pops up. You CANNOT check by clicking on your saved link because you’ll only get the one saved page. I KNOW for a fact that some of you reading this have multiple pages (even 3 or more in some cases!!!) 
4. For those of you who don’t think you have an IMDB page, BE SURE you really don’t. This ESPECIALLY goes for you Momagers yourselves who stepped in as an Extra or helped the production in some other way. All you have to do is type in your name like in Step #3. You may be surprised. 
5. For those of you who feel you should have a credit for a project, but you don’t see one, AFTER you’ve done Steps #3 or #4 above to check it isn’t on an extra page you didn’t know you had, you have a good chance of being able to add yourself even if it would be your very first credit. 
The IMPORTANT THING you cannot get around is the Project must be on. If it is not, you are out of luck. Check for that first. 
6. Some things to know about IMDb Pro: 
a) this paid subscription IS necessary if you want to have a profile picture, other pix, and/or your reel or certain videos on the page. 
b) IMDb Pro IS necessary to add a Resume 
c) it is NOT necessary to add a Bio – WORD to the Wise with that and adding Trivia which can ALSO be done without a PRO account, I strongly advise NEVER EVER adding your birthdate and that is because it will stay there FOREVER unless IMDb has a major change in their policy about birthdays. They have been sued about this and they WON. Along the same lines, don’t add the names of a spouse, a significant other, or your kids because those don’t come off either.
