How effective is your LinkedIn™ profile image?  You might think very, but what do others say about it?

Why not test it out using Photofeeler.com. The software shows your image to participating people and asks them for their option of your image taking into consideration 3 areas: Competence; Likeability and Influence. You might be surprised at the outcome!

And don’t forget there is a zoom in/out option and 6 filters inside the edit section of your profile image to help enhance your image but make sure you use them wisely 👀

LinkedIn™

Try to be the first person who comments on a post, even better if it’s an influencer’s post! That way you’ll get seen by more people visiting that post!

Instagram™

Try making content that people would want to send through a Direct Message. This is now one of the most important signals that the instagram algorithm is looking at.

Have you tried this feature yet? You can actually add images over carousel images via the mobile app😵

Just create your carousel in the normal way. At the top of your screen, where all the other add-on icons are, you’ll see an ‘insert image’ icon. Tap that and it will take you back to your camera roll where you can choose the image to place on top of your original image 😱💜
