I have no hard data to back this up, but I'm confident... You'll Make More $$$ On This Forum If You... Put up a real picture of yourself. Now I know not everyone has the hot looks of Eric Louviere, but I'm willing to bet adding a happy pic to your avatar will do wonders for you. Why? 1. People will remember you easier 2. People will trust you more 3. People will associate you face with something or someone they recognize 4. They may have the hots for you 5. They will be able to pick you out at a seminar. I could keep going and going. The internet is changing very fast, and those who are not afraid of transparency stand to make a lot more cash then those who are hiding behind the scenes and afraid to show their face. Anyhow, it's just my opinion. I could be wrong, but I highly doubt it. J-Mo PS: Allen, thanks for giving the forum a more personal feel. I like it way better, and have already been able to use the pics of people to remember a lot more users. |

Yep, you're probably right about that. They also say that your pic on your site, blog, sales letter, etc. is better for conversions than not having one. I'm gonna test it out an put up a pic on the WF. I'll let you know what happens... |

You're probably right but all the pics I have at the moment make me look like a complete...umm...I dunno, but it's not good. I'll grab my camera and see if I can come up with something that is halfway decent. Maybe, hopefully, probably not |

I'm reasonably sure my real face would not increase sales. It'll just frighten people away. You'll have to settle for the cartoon me, which looks like me, except for being two-dimensional. Of course, some people think I'm two-dimensional, so, really, it works. |

I don't have any solid data to back this up either but I have some anecdotal evidence...and tend to agree with you. When I put my face on one or two of my consulting/pitch sites I started to get more consulting inquiries...not sure if it was from the image addition or the increase in hits from various locations. I know it didn't hurt...well I hope not anyways...my wife says I'm not that much of a horrible looking chud. ;-) -S |

| It isn't just selling on this forum Jason. The contacts you make on this forum is priceless and worth far more than what you can make selling products on this forum. IMO, that is where the real money is made. Personally, I owe a lot to this forum just from the people I have been introduced to. I do think it will be easier to form friendships with people here by using your own pictures just like Jason said in the OP. Thomas |

I've had my beauty all over the interwebs for awhile now. I like seeing everyone's mug, even ones I already know. I find the new WF a LOT more fun. Also, very glad I started out using my own name instead of an alias. |

Ah jeez...I don't know. This is the best one I have of me but I feel shy using it because my legs are so short and I have to peddle on a girls bike. Do you think it matters? Will it hurt my conversions?...the bike I mean.

It just makes good business sense. People like to do business with people they know, like and trust. Putting yourself "out there" with your picture lets others know you're not afraid to let them into your world and makes them feel more comfortable with the possibility of inviting you into their world too. Totally agree and loving it! |

I know that everyone is not here to sell stuff. Heck, I seldom sell stuff either. But I think most will agree it makes a better forum experience when we can see who we are dealing with. I think this will become a much nicer and tight nit community with more transparency available. In fact, I think a lot of the pessimism will naturally be reduced by us being so open. Anyhow, cool to see lot's of you agree with me. And hey, even if you think you're not hot like Eric, it could be worse. You could look like Harlan. Or even worse, a 2006 Harlan! |

J-MO's gotta point. I think that this whole new format at the WF is helping me remember more people. And the simple fact we can have our avatars next to our posts makes everything really personal. It's funny...I had pic of me up there, and then took it down, I think I might put it back up after reading this thread ![]() Aaron |

It's interesting that I came across this thread. I was actually on my way to do the very same thing! I don't know why I never did... I guess I just never thought of it. Stay tuned, my pic will be up shortly. |

Jason, Some of us are just not natural "smilers." It doesn't necessarily mean we're unhappy, sad or angry it's just how we are. Then there's the problem of this great big zit... ![]() Elmer |

I've thinking about this for a while now but have not summoned the nerve to post a picture of myself yet....I am extremely unphotogenic (not sure if that is a real word) I hate all pics that I have of myself. I always look like I've been imbibing in some sort of illegal substance LOL! But who knows I make get up enough nerve and do it....I just need to find a way to make me look good! Lucinda |

Jason, I agree with you 100%. Since I've started doing videos and people have gotten to see my handsome face, my sales have increased. Heck, I'm going to break all my previous sales records this year. Putting my pic up an an avatar is child's play. Just don't want any of the ladies here to come after me. I'm a happily married man. |

I only remember faces not names most times...so it does help I have to agree. Like when my wife and I go out anywhere. She will talk to someone and I will go...who was that I remember the face. So I still can't associate a name with a face either...blah I give up. |

You'd be better off to brag about being the best name rememberer in the entire planet. Even if it wasn't true, it would help you to get better. Words are things, and I'm amazed at how many people say... "I suck at remembering names". It's no wonder they suck at it so bad. They've been repeating it for eons like a mantra. | |

| Welcome to the Board Victoria. You're very beautiful so I re-sized your avatar for you if you'd like to use the biggest size allowable (80x80 pixels). ![]() If you decide to use it, simply right-click the image, then click 'save-as'. Save it to you computer and then re-do what you did with your original photo to upload it to your profile. PS - Hope you do not mind my doing this. PPS - Now, if only we could get Jason to make his smaller. ![]() [EDIT] After posting this... I see you re-sized it on your own. (mine is a little more square... so still feel free)... or not. |
