Your photo is essential and must be a good one, a memorable one and a professional one. Why? Because you are branding yourself.
When you place a stream message or your Team Mailings or a forum post, all these are accompanied by your photo. YOUR AFFILIATE, a2a friend or other SFI people responds to your post, good or bad. When a person receives valued content from you consistently over time, then you begin to Brand yourself to that person, they begin to respond to you. I have Affiliates with whom I have built a trusted bond, and, now they no longer seriously engage in SFI. But they still chat with me and make purchases every month, or every other month in TripleClicks. They are friends. They have a situation such that they can't consistently apply themselves in SFI, but they do want to bring value back to me. They buy in TripleClicks those things they might have bought elsewhere.
As you brand yourself, and if you are viewed as a provider of valued content, affiliates respond. They scan the Stream messages and when they see your face they stop and read. They scan the forum and stop and read your posts. They look to you for help, direction and guidance and you forge mutually beneficial relationships. They trust you because they feel like they know you and they truely do, in the cyber sense.
My profile picture in SFI is the same as my picture in Google+ and Linkedin and gmail and all my ad posts, why? Because when a person signs up as an Affiliate I want them to recognize me immediately.
