Make a good first impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your LinkedIn profile photo and your header image are important pieces of visual real estate on your LinkedIn profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They’re your first impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They allow you to get creative and add your own personalization to your otherwise vanilla profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can build rapport, tell a story, and even stick in a CTA if you optimize these two images properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s if you use them right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, we’re going to deconstruct LinkedIn profile pictures and headline images, and we’ll show you how you can optimize these images for maximum conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Right, let’s do this.<\/p>\n\n\n
Getting your LinkedIn profile picture right is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the first time that your prospect is going to see you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You want to look trustworthy, competent, and, of course, friendly enough for someone browsing to want to send you a message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it’s not always putting on the biggest smile that you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s about looking at the role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s break down the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, here’s the flipside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don’t always have to smile. There are some roles where a prospect would prefer someone who looks serious. And, some people don’t always look their best with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To analyze LinkedIn profile pictures, we use a free online tool called Snappr<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s a tool that uses an algorithm to determine if your profile picture is visually appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
