Once you establish yourself as a Refiner and can have stock to sell, you will need to advertise your services to procure clientele. You can do this by either joining several inworld spam groups, using the beYou Ad Service prims that you can get at the main beYou sim by the adboards, or by doing grassroots advertising on your own via your social circles or other social media outlets. However, *you can not advertise in the main beYou group*; This is against the group charter.

## Leveling Your Profession

Once you become a Refiner, you will advance your profession by leveling your skill points. To determine what skill points you need to advance, click on the account options button on your profile, and choose ‘My Career Path.’

In ‘My Career Path’, you will see what research you must accomplish, which skill points you need to advance and how many life experience points (LEP)
 you will need to advance to the next level.

### **Books**

Your professions training books will allow you to progress through your leveling process. If you do not already own one, you will need a *beYou Study Hall Skill Trainer* Desk in order to begin training with your books.   You will also need to complete the Learn to train book that comes with the *beYou Study Hall Skill Trainer* desk prior to any starter profession books.

> *Please note that when you go to buy these books, the beginner books show above the trainee books; this is due to naming conventions and can not be changed. You will need to buy the TRAINEE books prior to to beginner books to advance.*
>
> Also note you need to do the books ONLY showing in your guided tasks. **DO NOT do the beginner books before you are level 1**. There are 2 level 1 bubbles that look for you to complete these books and due to limitations, if you complete them before time, you can't get the credit. If you have mistakenly started the beginner books while still in level 0 of your new career, there is a button on the beYou website to reset your books; you will need to redo them when you get to level 1.
