Editing $PATH in .bash_profile

Hello,

I'm trying to add my bin directory to my path by editing the .bash_profile. I'm adding the following:

PATH=$HOME/bin

But then when I type in "echo $PATH" my bin directory is not added. Do I need to do something to make this take affect or am I going about this wrong.

Thanks!
