Social Media is one of the important ways to find new Customers for your products and services. It involves building a relationship with your connections. And the first step is building trust.
Your profile picture is your first impression. And a necessary item in building trust. Consider how your Profile picture looks today.
Is it missing? Or is it the generic shadow, like you see on Facebook? That could make 
potential customers think:
– you are lazy
– you arent this real person
– you dont want people to see you
All of these hurt your ability to build trust.
Lots of people like to use a picture of a pet or other animal. That is better than no picture. But its still not the best if you are serious about finding customers and building trust.
Your best option is to use a real picture of yourself. You dont need to be a model or have a glamour shot. A simple picture is all you need. Have fun with it if you want. This will get you on the right track to building trust, and help with you with that first impression.
