In part two of this walkthrough series, we went over how to finish getting your TARTLE account activated and why you should set up two-factor authentication in order to better protect your account and your data. That being complete, it\u2019s time to move to the next big step.\xa0

Finally! At long last, we get to talk about one of the biggest things that you should be doing as a new member of the TARTLE community \u2013 synching your social media accounts. This is the simplest and most obvious step (other than signing up with us in the first place) towards becoming a data champion. It\u2019s the easiest way to both protect your data and start collecting it in order to sell it to others. So, get your account up so you can sync as you read.\xa0

Once you have selected your 2FA option, you get sent straight to our brand new, cleaned-up dashboard. There, you will find a handy video to help walk you through the process. Of course, we\u2019re going to walk you through it right here. Should you need a refresher course though, it\u2019s right there for you. Just above that video is a little line telling you that synching your Facebook account will get you a dollar right away. See? You have barely done anything yet and you\u2019re already getting rewarded. Sync your Facebook account and every other third-party online account that we support.\xa0

You do that by clicking the gear in the upper right. There, you will see links to sync up various accounts. The active options at the moment are social and professional apps. You\u2019ll also see what we have coming in the near future. Soon, you\u2019ll be able to sync health accounts, browsers, wearables, and home devices. For now though, we\u2019ll focus on the social option.\xa0

Under the \u2018social\u2019 link you will find links to sync up your Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. That way, you can gather your data so you get to sell it, not just have those companies keep making money off of you and your interactions. If you click on the Facebook link, you\u2019ll log into your Facebook account and our servers will download all your Facebook data. Do the same for the others if you have accounts there. And don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re working even now to add more apps to sync. We\u2019ll send you an email whenever we get one set up so you will always be up to date with the latest additions so you can get the most bang for your buck. Now that your accounts are all synched, your data packets are already getting created. How easy was that?

What you will want to do next is set up notifications in the settings. We\u2019ll send them to your phone as well as on the site in the marketplace. But you have to opt-in. Again, this is TARTLE. We won\u2019t bother you with anything unless you explicitly tell us it is okay to do so. You\u2019ll see settings for a bunch of other things as well, like updating your number and your email.\xa0

And here is another fun thing. If you refer people to sign up with us at www.tartle.co, we\u2019ll reward you with some T-coin. Or if you do things online that help promote what we are doing, we\u2019ll reward you for that too. That also helps grow the movement. The more people who choose to join TARTLE and take control of their digital lives, the more companies and governments will have to sit up and take notice. That means we\u2019ll have a better chance of affecting policy in a positive way. Just something to keep in mind.\xa0

After all, what\u2019s your data worth? www.tartle.co
