5 Tips to a great Linkedin photo
1Always use a photo
People want to make sure that they have connected with the right person so it is important to put a face with your name. Often times, there is more than one person with the same name on Linkedin so pictures are important.
Use a Recent picture of yourself
We like to post photos that we like of ourselves but make sure it is a recent photo. You don’t want to meet someone in person and have them think you look a lot older or different in person compared to your profile.
You should be the only subject in the photo
It’s your professional profile picture, so the focus should be on you. Do not include group shots, photos with your significant other, child or pets.
Wear appropriate professional or business casual attire
It is best to appear in the photo as you would be seen in a business environment so dress accordingly. We all have a favorite sports team or heaven forbid bathing suit but let’s keep our Linkedin photos professional.
Don’t use your company’s product or logo as a photo.
People who are searching for you on Linkedin want to o connect with you as an individual, so avoid displaying your company’s logo — unless it’s your company’s page. Once they connect with you, they’ll be able to learn about your product and your company in your profile.
