Profile & Header photos

6/9/2017

 
Most social media users associate pictures with more youth-friendly platforms like Instagram and Facebook, but this is a common misconception. Photos absolutely make a difference on LinkedIn, especially when it comes to building out your profile.

LinkedIn now offers a few different opportunities for customization, but your profile picture is most important. Without a great image, you'll likely go unnoticed in comparison to your competition. In fact, LinkedIn profiles are 14 times more likely to be seen with a high-quality profile picture.
​
LinkedIn isn't the place for your fun college photos or your family reunion pictures, however.

If you have a professional headshot, that's for the best, but there's no need to run out to book a photographer. Just be sure to focus on these basics:
  • ​​A forward-facing image
  • Full view of your face
  • Conservative or office-appropriate attire
  • If in a creative field, a representation of your skills or interests
​ Want to step up your game? LinkedIn provides a way to add a background image that can enhance your approach to branding. As with your profile picture, be sure to stick to something neutral and non-objectionable, like a landscape, a geometric pattern, or a job-related graphic. While the preset background isn't bad, a custom image looks much better.
