YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE: HOW IMPORTANT IS HAVING A PROFESSIONAL PORTRAIT OR HEADSHOT?
Your online presence: How important is having a professional portrait or headshot?
Electronic commerce over the internet is booming, we all know that. If you’re like me and you’re looking for a store or product and they don’t have an online presence then you’re just not interested. With so much business conducted online, your online image is as important as your in-person one.
How you are perceived visually is just as important as what you do or what you say.
Other people’s perceptions are very important in business. First impressions are made within seconds and office gossip has the potential to damage a reputation almost beyond repair. Do you know how your colleagues perceive you?
People make up their minds about you within the first 30 seconds or so. And nowhere is that more true than online.
If you have an online presence you probably have an “About Me” page on your web site. You may be asked to be interviewed on a blog, or an article may be written referencing you. When people Google you, find you in Facebook or look you up on LinkedIn, does what they see represent you well? Prospects and clients are likely to see your online profile before they even meet you!
Having a professional portrait or headshot is crucial in ensuring what the viewer sees is the best representation of you.
Professional headshots or portraits are usually done in studio or on location. For example, if you’re a real estate agent, you’d likely meet your potential clients face-to-face in some level of business attire. If you’re a landscaper, you’re likely wearing something appropriate for that work… In each of these cases it’s not much of an investment of time or money to hire a photographer to take a professional headshot of you in your environment.
What constitutes a great profile picture?
1. It reflects your unique brand.
2. It is current – avoid using something that is over 5 years old.
3. It reflects who you are and what you do. A professional photographer will be able to guide and assist you in this regard.
4. It conveys Quality and Professionalism.
5. It establishes eye contact. Eye contact draws people in and engenders trust.
Are you starting to see the importance your profile picture can help you really start to use social media more effectively? So how do you get a great professional headshot?
