Profile pictures are KEY
Reading:
The Art of Social Media written by Guy Kawasaki and Peg Fitspatrick, Chapter one and two:
The first chapter two chapters focus mainly on the profile what to post, and what is trending. I enjoyed this aspect thoroughly. It outlined everyway to set up your profile such as picking a name that you will not regret in the future and having the best picture you can for your viewers to enjoy. These things may seem unimportant in the little picture, but in the big picture they could affect the way your viewers see your writing. Even small things like the lighting in the room that you are taking your profile in could ruin your whole page.
You should try to pick the same picture that you have on all your other social media pages, so that if people are trying to find your page from a recommendation or your other social sites, they will be able to recognize you easily. If your profile is not easily found people will not try, they want the easiest thing. I have never really been all that attentive to my social media pages because I haven’t ever been worried about anyone seeing anything that I post or tweet. This is probably because I do not really post anything inappropriate on the internet, I know better than that, but I really haven’t ever thought that much into my profile picture. I never realized how many of my profile pictures have been far from my face to where you can barely see it or not being able to see it at all. I did not think people were looking at it that much. I have however recently started using better pictures that you can see my face in because I do want my social medias to reflect me in the best way possible.
I was the same way when I first created my social media accounts. I always thought who cares what I post, no one too important is going to see it. Now after reading this chapter I realized I should pay more attention to how professional I am (although I'm with you when you said you know better than to post inappropriate posts) because now it's not just about my friends that see it, it's about future employers.
