To start off with a successful profile there are some practical steps that will help your profile look good and hopefully will cause people to look.

1. Have a photo. This sounds obvious, but it is good to put a name with a face and for people to get a sense of you. Many times users will put a photo of them with glasses, in a hat and from a distance. This isn’t the meaning of profile photo. Something clear, from the waist up or full length, and in decent lighting would be a good start. It is great to have more than one photo….this is where you can put the crazy hat and glasses shots, but for your main photo try to stick with the above guidelines and all users will be grateful for it.
