If you want to look professional as your business grows, you probably don "t want totally weird stuff in your online profiles. Yes you want to be yourself. But think about who it is you"re trying to attract to you and your business, and remember that it is a business you"re building after all.
4: Don’t Look Cheesy When You Can Look ProfessionalSometimes a little detail can make a big difference to people who are meeting you online for the first time. As the old saying goes, you only have one time to make a good first impression.
A good example of what I "m talking about are the photos of yourself that you place in online profiles. So often I see blurry images, or images where the subject is so tiny you can"t even tell if it"s a man or woman. Take the time to get a few nice looking photos of yourself. Most often a head shot or head and torso shot is what works best for an online profile.
There is plenty of advice available online about what goes into making a good photo. Go get some if you need it and update your profiles.Likewise get yourself a professional sounding email if the one you use now is something like “hotchick557@hotmail.com” or “big.bad.daddy9935@yahoo.com”.
I personally like Gmail a lot. You can sign up for as many free accounts as you need and its delivery rate is better than some other free email services such as Hotmail.
In general it"s just as easy to look good as to look cheesy, so look good whenever you can.
