# Quick Start Guide

Below is a list of actions and tips that we suggest you take when you first visit SentLive, to both help you get the most out of it, and by clicking on the links, understand more about each item. If you are already comfortable with this sort of thing, go ahead and ignore our suggestions; you can always refer to this guide if or when you need it.

- [**Register & Login**](/guide/getting-started/register-login/).
- [**Read this Guide**](https://sentlive.com/guide/), particularly the**[FAQs](https://sentlive.com/guide/category/faqs/)**.
- After logging in for the first time, you will be taken to your [**Profile page**](https://staging.sentlive.com/membership-login/membership-profile), where you can invite members to join your Crew, create [Loops](https://staging.sentlive.com/guide/loops/) and [Hives](https://staging.sentlive.com/guide/hives/), and add or edit your profile.
- The **[Members page](https://staging.sentlive.com/sentlive-members/)** is a listing of all current members who have agreed to be listed there, and should be your next stop - have a look to see if anyone you already know is there, and perhaps invite them or someone else to join your Crew or a Loop?
- In addition, invite your family, friends, colleagues and anyone else to try us - once they join. invite them to your Crew (**[read more in this article](https://staging.sentlive.com/guide/profile-settings/#3-toc-title)**).
- Once you have at least one Crew member, we suggest you go to the [**Crew Button**](http://staging.sentlive.com/crew-button/) which contains the big blue button that is used to send your alerts; any alert you send creates a buzz on [**The Buzz**](https://sentlive.com/activity/), and an alert is sent to your Crew; any buzzes you create can only be seen by you and your Crew, and once you either create or join a Loop, fellow Loop members.
- Visit each page, particularly your [**Profile**](https://staging.sentlive.com/membership-login/membership-profile) and **[The Buzz](https://staging.sentlive.com/the-buzz/)**.
- If you have or use a mobile device, [**add the SentLive web app to the home screen**](https://sentlive.com/guide/details/devices/) of your device.
- Click on anything and see what happens! You won't break anything.
- And please help us grow further by spreading the word on any existing online networks you belong to by using the 'Invite Others To Sentlive' button on your profile dashboard.
