To complete your account verification on ShareGrid, we highly recommend that our members provide valid social media links. These links help confirm your online identity and professional experience.

Why Social Media Links Matter

Social media links are used to verify your connection to the creative industry and the equipment you intend to rent.

What Kind of Links Are Accepted?

Your links should point to content that confirms your professional identity. Accepted platforms include:

  • IMDb

  • Vimeo or YouTube

  • Online portfolios

  • Social media pages tied to your work or business

Tip: Ensure the content includes your name, email, or image—anything that links the profile to you.

Special Cases

  • Using a Stage Name or Alias?
    You may need to provide proof that links the alias to your real identity.

  • Linking a Business Page?
    Include a work email associated with your business domain in your ShareGrid profile:
    Settings > Account > Add New Email Address

How to Add and Verify Your Social Media Links

  1. Go to your social media or portfolio page.

  2. Ensure your name or email is clearly visible.

  3. Link the page to your ShareGrid profile.

  4. If needed, temporarily update your profile to match your ShareGrid info (e.g., add your name or email).

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Can’t Match Your Info?
    Update your profile or provide additional proof (e.g., email screenshots, production credits).

  • Not Enough Content?
    Add more links, such as an IMDb page, portfolio site, or additional social media accounts.

Final Note

Accurate, verifiable links speed up your account approval. Please take a few minutes to ensure your profiles clearly reflect who you are and what you do!
