You find out about a new business. What’s the first thing you do? Look it up online!

Peoples’ first encounters with you and your business are usually online, and they will look at the picture on your profile before anything else. Your images on your website and social media serve as “anchors” and a point of visual connection for your potential clients. Make sure you have a professional photograph of yourself. Without a headshot, you might as well be wearing a “mask” (that gray outline that serves as your profile picture when you haven’t shared one). People will eventually see you (you hope), so go ahead and share who you are!

Check out this article from eWomenNetwork offering three reasons a selfie won’t cut it.

ALWAYS have a professional headshot, but if personal branding pix are in your budget, I’m happy to help! Find out more about my business and personal branding offerings at www.maggietakespix.com/business.
