I've also noticed that when having a picture up with my ezine articles profile, I get an increase of visitors and hits to my site. I'll have to try it here as well.

I hate to admit it, but I agree there is some truth to being able to relate to the seller.
Because, after you build your list, then your work hard to establish TRUST with the people on your list. And with the feeling of TRUST, they then feel confident to buy from you! Michael, MCSE ------------------------ Social Networking 2.0 www.socialnetworkingtricks.com |

Great thread Jason. I have to agree that a nice picture makes me more at ease about a person.

I agree with a few above who have stated it.
We all subconsciously judge other people for one reason or another. Not saying we do it intentionally. But at least think about it before you rush to put your picture up. Even if you are not trying to selling anything here. Think about it. Reminds me of the test mentioned in Blink and I am sure many other books. https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/ |

It's so nice to see more pics of everyone. I love seeing what people look like when communicating with them over the net. Keep'em coming. More real pics and less avators.
I mustered enough nerve to put mine up. I am sure that more of you can do the same. See you all later. |

I agree, the photos help me remember who's who and makes the person seem more real.
Dont' worry about your looks, just put up a picture! It's more about being a real person, it's not a beauty contest.

Sup Moffatt,
Get your approach, but figured I'd share this with all: A copywriter I knew was forced by his client to put a portrait of this person. Conversions went down because this person is ugly as hell. It was actually split-tested. This was in the IM market too. So make of it what you will.

I love seeing people's faces when I read their posts. It really helps to put a face with a name and I think it brings us closer as a community. Aw, I am getting cheesy now.

That's great information. I personally hate it when people don't use pictures. If I go to a meetup and haven't seen your face, how do I know it's you? Pictures are an absolute must in my book for optimal results in networking.

It's something I've thought about in the past, but I never really did it because I think if you are relatively young, people won't take you seriously enough.
However, I'm almost 22 now, so I'm getting on a bit ![]() (that comment should stir it up a bit )

Okay, I'll post my photo.
Uh, does it matter if it doesn't have anything to do with Crafts? This is one of my favorite photos. Dot PS - last time I posted my avatar/photo, I got reported for having too much in my avatar area. Hope this won't backfire on me again!!!!!!!! |

I think it is absolutely great to see pictures of the people on this forum. I agree that it can bring people together and probably increase credibility and sales. |

Hey Jason,
I completely agree. A real photo of yourself is a key factor in branding yourself. People want to know who they are talking to AND that you are a real person. In addition, it is important to include contact information. I cannot tell you how many people have joined various teams with me because they knew how to contact me and I was not just a vague person on the other side of a computer. I am a real person and people love that personal touch in this day of the internet. Thanks a bunch! Many blessings. |

I definitely agree with this. For me personally, it is difficult to take someone serious who has a cartoon photo representing them in life.
Maybe I need to loosen up a bit, but I doubt it. I def agree with you that people who put themselves out there will make more . . . from me anyway! |

Hey there Jason,
I have to be 100% honest with you I instantly recognize on this forum because I've seen you on Youtube (I'm a subscriber :-) but honestly I certainly wouldn't of recognized if you hadn't that avatar picture of you. So I completely agree with you having a picture of yourself to be identified is really a must if your trying to make a name for yourself on the internet! Regards, -Alex Kaplo P.S I won't forget your name anymore bro ..haha! Have a great day! |

I'm just glad we aren't required to use the photo on
our drivers licenses. Mine is hideous and I'm stuck with it for six years. I also like the photos Warriors put on with their wives, husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends and their kids. My favorite on the forum is Amy Bass and her baby. I don't have any kids but I'm thinking of rentin' a couple of them so I could fit in. T.W. |

Jason, for the most part I think you are right. Although a really bad photo (not "bad" so much as in the person is not attractive, but "bad" as in the person looks angry, or bizarre, or sinister for example) ...can actually have the opposite affect on sales. Also, if you want someone to take you and your product seriously and your photo conveys a different message (such as it's too seductive, or too goofy) or your appearance clashes with your target market (for example, you have a lot of tattoos and piercings and your target market is senior citizens) that can be detrimental. Appearance can play a significant role in sales. (Btw, nothing wrong with tattoos and piercings!) People tend to prefer to buy from someone they feel comfortable with...someone they feel they can trust... someone who looks open and friendly in their photo, which generally means smiling. Also, there has been tons of research that shows that the more attractive and/or likable a person is, the more positive qualities people will initially associate with that person, such as intelligence, trustworthiness, kindness, etc (part of the "halo effect"). It's unfair, but true. Unfortunately, appearances can be deceiving, as we all well know, and some have used that to their benefit (like Ted Bundy did so well...) It has been really nice on this new forum to see people's pictures....it makes everyone more real and personable. It is funny how some people look entirely different than I imagined them! | |

Thanks John, but the problem is I'd still be a (soon
to be) 62 year old, one legged, bald guy. The picture I'm using here is from 2005 (pre-chemo) days. I've kinda given up waitin' for my hair to grow back in. As soon as I make a zillion dollars in IM I'm gonna go to the same transplant guys that did Mike Filsaime's new hair. His looks great. T.W. |

Transparency matters big time in this business.
It is impossible to work behind the scenes without exposing yourself on some level. People DO want to know who they are buying form. People by people after all. There are obviously some exceptions to this rule (BlueFart techniques, adsense farms, etc) but if you want to run a business that actually adds value to peoples lives, start adding videos, pics |
