The importance of profile picture on social platforms

I have often seen lots of users using fake username and profile picture for their various social accounts. And I think this is the worst thing one can do with their social presence. Having your own picture as your profile picture on platforms like Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn makes easier for other users to connect with you. This makes sure that the user is real and authentic.

Nowadays, social media users have become very conscious about their network due to increasing phishing attacks. Therefore, they are connecting with users to whom they can identify as human and real person.

In any social media presence, your connections and network are your real asset. The number of fans, followers, and connections determine your 'social' value. Besides, there's a common tendency amongst these social users about getting connected with people who already have good network. It would be suicidal for any social media user to adopt such measures, as it may hamper his/her future prospects.

So, this is the basic rule for any individual user or organization to use real picture or correct logo to establish strong social identity.

There's lot more to come on social media tips and trends.

Till then, stay connected!
