How to improve your LinkedIn profile picture

Improving your LinkedIn profile photo is crucial because it is the first place potential employers, clients, and professional connections look you up. Here are some tips to help you create a more impactful and professional profile photo:

1. Choose a high-quality photo. Avoid using blurry or pixelated images for your headshot. The photo should be in focus and well-lit.

2. Use a Professional Background. Choose a simple and clean background that doesn't distract from your face. Busy or cluttered backgrounds are not suitable for your LinkedIn profile photo or your business headshot.

3. Choose the right outfit. Your attire says a lot about you and your personality. If you apply for a corporate job, business attire or business casual is appropriate but if you own your business you can be more creative and flexible with your outfit.

4. Last but not least, avoid selfies. It is best to have your LinkedIn profile photo to be taken professionally. This will result in a professional-looking image that portrays you and your brand.

Why having a professional LinkedIn photo is necessary?

A great headshot is a great first step for building an awesome personal brand that helps you get hired faster, improve your visibility and sales numbers, or attract investors to your company.

Statistics show that LinkedIn members with a photo receive far more engagement: 21 times more profile views and 9 times more connection requests. 

LinkedIn headshots should focus on making you look professional, friendly, and competent.
