Agent Profiles & Contributor Points

As a contributor to InsuranceLibrary.com, you will get your own public profile.  You can use this opportunity to add personal information, website links and more.  Additionally, your profile includes an optional ‘contact me’ button to securely connect insurance seeking consumers and you.

There are 3 different levels of contributor profiles available to agents – the features and functions available with your profile are based on the total number of contributor points you have earned. Earning contributor points not only unlocks features on your agent profile, it also provides better visibility for your answers in the knowledge base and more.

Contributor Score Overview

Users that contribute answers to InsuranceLibrary.com are awarded with points. If you are the first to answer a question, you are awarded with “author status” for the question (learn more about that here) and you also receive 10 points. Any additional answers to a question are worth 15 points.

In addition to receiving points for answering questions, contributors can also earn an easy 50 points by filling out their contributor profile. Contributor points are publicly displayed on agent profiles and the top contributing agents are featured on the InsuranceLibrary.com contributor leaderboard.
