Hello!
FACT
It only takes 1/10 of a second for someone to draw conclusions about you based on your photo — so how do you win someone over in less than a second?
HERE’S HOW TO DO IT
LINKEDIN PROFILE IMAGE
s o c i a l m e d i a f o r l a w fi r m s . c om
Make sure your face takes up 60% of the frame
ONE
Choose a photo that looks like you
TWO
Wear what you’d wear to work
THREE
FOUR
Tips for Men: Wear a dark blue or black dress shirt. No t-shirts, Hawaiian shirts, or busy/crazy patterns
FIVE
Tips for Women: Wear something you feel comfortable in. No t-shirts or big/busy patterns. Soft, dark v-necks look great. Black always works; avoid white
SIX
Your LinkedIn Profile picture should be 500 x
500 pixels
SEVEN
Your LinkedIn picture must be in a JPEG, PNG
or RGB format
EIGHT
Relax. Look directly at the
camera
NINE
Photos should be professionally done, if
possible (but not glamour shots)
TEN
Don’t use an old photo. There are few things worse than meeting someone for the first time and not recognizing them because the profile photo is from 10 years ago (or longer)!
ELEVEN
LinkedIn prohibits pictures of animals, logos and landscapes for profile pictures (duh)
TWELVE
If you violate LinkedIn’s profile picture policy 3x, you won’t be allowed to upload a picture again.
