Stop Skipping This One Branding Move

Authors, don't slack on what I'm about to share with you.

Invest in Professional Headshots!

These are non-negotiable.

A high-quality headshot can speak volumes about your professionalism and dedication to your craft.

#1 Capture Candid Speaking Moments

Whether it’s a workshop or a casual discussion, photos of you engaging with others are golden.

They showcase your interactive side and expertise.

#2 Hire a Professional for the Day

Don’t skimp on this. A professional photographer or videographer can make a world of difference.

Their skill in capturing the right angles and moments is invaluable.

#3 Book a Dynamic Venue

Rent a co-working space or a similar vibrant environment for a few hours.

Variety is key – get shots both indoors and outdoors to add depth to your portfolio.

#4 Diverse Shots Are Key

Aim for a mix – you at a laptop, in conversation, addressing a crowd.

This variety showcases your versatility and approachability.

#5 Prep Your Look

A visit to the hair salon can boost your confidence and image.

Also, experiment with outfits that resonate with your brand colors; it’s all in the details.

#6 Use These Photos Everywhere

Update your website, social profiles, and have them ready for conference organizers.

High-quality images signal to the world that you’re serious about your brand.

Remember, quality visual content implies investment – in yourself and your brand.

It’s not just about looking good; it’s about demonstrating care and effort in how you present yourself online.

And while it’s great to have friends with cameras, for this task, choose a pro.

A scheduled, paid session ensures commitment and results.

Consider using platforms like Snappr to find the right talent.

In essence, treat your online presence as if the spotlight is on you – because, in the digital age, it often is.

This attention to detail builds trust and showcases your dedication to excellence.
