Is using personal profile picture really affect to selling?

[rockethammer]

hello~ I’m new here since didn’t get any job during pandemic:(

actually, I’m kinda not comfortable with posting my personal picture… Is it okay to just using random picture? does it really affect to increase selling if I’m using personal picture?

kindly checkout my gig, I really need advice from all you guys since everyone seems very positive here… thankyou~

Hi, great illustrations. Regarding the question, I would say no. I have seen many top rated sellers who don’t have a personal profile picture. In most cases where you present your services, it is only the skills and quality of your work that are important.

Its totally upto you to post your picture or not. You can select any other picture other than your personal picture too. I dont thunk it will affect your selling and all.

Posting your picture does not get you orders your gig gets you orders. So a good gig without the ssellers pic can still land you a order.

When I first got into freelancing, I was advised to to use my actual photo as a profile pic. It makes you more personable. Some clients find it easier to talk to an actual “face”.

It won’t make or break your gig and it won’t skyrocket your sales but I’d say, it’s better with it than without it.

On a downside, you may get some creeps every now and then slipping into your inbox for all the wrong reasons. Other than that, there is no downside.
