*Personal Branding
I am Thompson, I so much believe in personalizing business. Few days ago me
and some friends where in the office discussing about personal branding, that
its vital to your business, we live in a world where faceless mammoth
corporations that you can’t really compete with on price. What is a small
business owner to do??
well, we need to stay put on our strengths because our strength
is ourselves.
So, show yourself. Make
sure you post a photo of yourself on the social media / website.
Let your potential clients see the person they will be contracting!
This is my most often used profile picture. I love it
because I am really smiling and showcasing my career.

Why You Need A Photo Of Yourself
Recognition:
When you meet a colleague or potential client, they can recognize
you as soon as they meet you, that is a win. Here there’s a sense of
familiarity instantly, as such you’ve already jumped one hurdle in making them
comfortable with you. Trust and Comfort are huge when it comes to the part of portrait photography (and many other
businesses!), so it is advisable to find
all the ways you can to build that image before you even meet! If they aren’t
even sure of who the photographer is,
that is because they have never seen your face before, well, that’s not an ultimate situation.
Familiarity:
If you have try to put some of your personality or
profession into the image, they will get a sense that they know you. They don’t
just know who you look like,
but what you will to be like in
person. I get emails from people who tell me that they believe my personalities
and ideas will mesh with theirs, cos they feel like they know a little about
who I am. I have never met with them, or talked with them, but they already
like me. As a professional photographer that is immeasurably treasured. I want people
who I will connect with, because my experience meeting them and final product will be far far
better. that it is.
Decreased likelihood of anger:
It’s far easier to get annoyed with a
faceless entity than a human being. That’s one reason only emails And
text messages are very dangerous in dealing with emotional issues. This will be
a post for another day. If people know exactly who you are, and what you claim
you look like, they are more likely to treat you like a human entity with
feelings than just as an organization and company. We all know organization or company
don’t have feelings, but people do. So prove to them that you are
a person.
Before I close my laptop let me intimate you about what
Facebook can do to my touring.
Some evening in 2015, I sign in to Facebook to return to
some friends messages. The first thing that impress my eyes was this amazing
picture of an Australian friend basking in Vietnam’s sun with the landscape of
Ha Long Bay. It never occur to me that Vietnam was that wonderful and beautiful
and as soon as she updated me enough information about her holiday, I booked over a month’s long holiday to
Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam via my tour company. I figured, why I
should go all the way to see one country when it’s so affordable to see a
combination of four?
