Your social media profile is your chance to make a first impression that lasts. Because online, that photo can sometimes be the only picture of you the other person will ever really see.

(If your profile picture is a meme, please just skip this part.)

What does your profile picture represent?

In this day and age, your profile picture is an opportunity! It’s what your audience finds when they discover you online. It’s what single women swipe to on dating apps.

It’s what job hunters see on LinkedIn, before reading your resume. Some people even go as far as saying that it’s your business card on the internet.

Your first choice is your brand logo if you have one.

Experts like Social Media Examiner, Neil Patel, and the social sharing tool Buffer, all suggest using the same picture on all of your social media profiles
