How Important Are Your Social Media Profile Pictures?

Your Social Media Profile Pictures are as Important to Your Business Identity as Your Logo.

What do people see when they come to your website, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin or Google+ page, or better yet what do they think when they see your photo? You’ve all heard the saying, you only get one chance to make a first impression. It’s never been more true than with social media. People can decide in an instant whether or not they want to stay on your page and read your content simply from looking at your profile photo. An inviting photo with a warm friendly smile will certainly draw visitors in before a photo with a frown, avatar (graphical representation) or logo. Visitors to your site want to get to know YOU, the person behind the business.

Social media is all about connecting with others. A friendly smile and good eye contact are just a couple important tips I share in episode #2. I also show some "do’s and don’ts" in order to help you take engaging photos. If you’d like to see how my profile pictures are similar but different poses, check them out at these sites……website, facebook, twitter.

Note: In the video I mention that it’s been 1 1/2  years since I’ve updated my profile pictures. While I haven’t changed much, I am thinking it may be time for me to take my own advice and get them updated! Adding it to my to-do list 

Good luck to you in your quest to take some great photos of yourself and remember, have fun with it!
