Branding: Authentic photographs from online dating to work websites
They say a picture's worth a thousand words? SO true when it comes to your online dating profile. You could compose the most fascinating, witty profile ... but have a fuzzy, far away photo ... & few girls are gonna risk their evening to grab a drink with you. You gents always talk about how visual you are, but ya'll discount how visual women are too! {Have you guys really not heard us talk about George Clooney or Ryan Gosling??} Girls know whether it's the twinkle in your smile, your neatly trimmed beared, or your broad shoulders that make them eye flirt with you across a subway car. And they're looking for those same things in an online photo.
It can be as simple as you in a plain white tee & you just being you.
And it's not just online dating profiles. If you're an entrepreneur or freelancer, these photos on your website are what make people feel connected to you & trust you enough to work with you. Or does your corporate office have a website? Whether you're a real estate agent or a lawyer, if people are visiting your company's website, a simple quality photo of you can seal the deal & help a visitor remember your company for future reference.
Don't have those kind of photos on your Facebook profile? No worries. Schedule a coffee + camera date. You & I can change that in about 30 minutes. I bet you have an adorable girl or a new client writing you back right around the corner.

So true!! A picture is worth a a thousand words. If someone put up a fuzzy hard to see photo...I would think they were trying to hide something. Thanks for sharing!
