There is a pretty good chance that your tour guide profile photo isn’t very good… It’s nothing personal, it’s just that almost all tour guides have bad profile photos. As I look back, almost 100% of my own profile photos were terrible too! In a moment, I’m going to share some profile photo tips. The problem is that most profile pictures are treated as something of an afterthought. Often times we only spend 30-40 seconds looking around our computer and choosing from the photos we happen to have on offer. We upload it and then forget about it. Unfortunately, when we do this we fail to appreciate just how important profile photos are. When a potential customer is looking at a tour, it only natural for them to want more information on the tour leader. While having a captivating and interesting written profile is important, remember that your picture can be worth a thousand words! Visitors to your page will be judging how friendly you are and utlimately deciding wether you look like someone interesting enough to spend some time with.
