Get the perfect profile picture and create the right impression
Many freelancers come up saying that they are not getting enough projects. They are highly talented, skilled and also have a lot of experience, but still their proposals get rejected by clients. Well, as the saying goes, ‘the first impression is the last impression’ and a good first impression can really get you the most lucrative project. However, here the first impression is your profile picture. A good picture will generate a positive feeling, which can make the employer take notice of you. Well, a good profile picture does not mean you have to be strikingly handsome or a beauty. There are certain parameters that you need to keep in mind, while getting the perfect profile picture. Let’s have a look how to create a perfect picture that would help to earn money online. Focus on your face: You don’t need to have a full body image as a profile picture. Your face is the most important thing that the client would like to see. The employer would have a look at the face to access how positive, friendly and professional the person might be. So, make sure your face, up till your shoulder can be visible. Smile: A nice smile can land you up with the project. A smiling face is always preferred by clients who are seeking trustworthy, friendly and warmhearted professionals who will value their project. A smile is also an open invitation to make the employer get talking to you. No matter how good you are, a grumpy face is a turn-off for the client. Simple background:
A clear, simple and uncluttered background looks inviting for employers to have a talk with you. This shows your professionalism and seriousness about freelancing. A cluttered background looks messy and the client may have second thoughts about hiring such a disorganised professional. Background is very important. Just keep it clean and projects will soon start pouring in. Face the camera: Lasts and also the most important of all! Always face the camera and look into the camera with a smile. Side angles might make you look attractive, but here you are trying to get a project from a prospective client. Serious employers will hire professionals who are smart, confident and looks into the camera with a smile and gleaming eyes. Beauty is secondary, your attitude and confidence needs to get you noticed out here! There are plenty of job marketplaces for freelance work. No matter where you prefer to register make sure to upload a ‘professional profile picture’ to get noticed. SEOBloggers wishes you all the best in your future endeavours!
