Your Facebook Profile Picture: What NOT to do (Video)

You’re ready to upload your profile picture to your Facebook account. But what picture should you use?

In this tongue-in-cheek video from Rhett & Link, you’ll learn what picture NOT to use:

…no cute puppy or other animal

…no other people in the picture with you

…no childhood photo

…no colorized version of your headshot

“Link” advises that your profile picture should include “you and you only.”

“Link” provides some bonus tips for how to compose your facial expression in your profile photo. He says, “It’s all about the gaze.”

I hope this video brings a smile to your day!

Hilarious video! Thanks for the content wrapped up in a fun bundle, you brought a little chuckle to my morning. I wonder, in your opinion, what is the specific pitfall of including others in your profile picture if you’re a marketer rather than a single guy looking for a date? Is it still a problematic approach?
