Be professional with your outfit

Your outfit tells so much about your personality. And since LinkedIn is not like the normal social network where you can post selfies wearing whatever you like. You should not do this with LinkedIn. You should cover up to appear professional.

Do not try to be funny

You should avoid all the pose you do when taking selfies like mouth pouting and the likes. This is not the type of picture you are expected to post on LinkedIn.LinkedIn is much more serious.

Intermittently change your picture  

Changing your pictures is another way to get noticed on LinkedIn. Replace your pictures from time to time makes your profile or page appear new and different. When people scan your page, it will not be the same always.
