How to create a better profile picture. Let's admit it - most of us use quite a boring photo of ourselves for our online profile pic. You are never going to convince people that you are an expert in your field if your profile picture is some selfie or out-of-date image that looks like your school yearbook photo.In this episode, David looks at how to get a profile photo that stands out and whether or not you need to use a professional photographer to create one. He also explains why magazines and websites will be more likely to publish your story if you can provide a great image of yourself to accompany it.-------------------------With huge thanks to our sponsors:Vegan AccountantsUse an accountant that understands your ethics and mission as a vegan business.
