Patrick Schwerdtfeger discusses the need for a consistent and professional head shot when you're a self-employed service professional.  People in these professions need a good honest head shot they can use as part of their brand.  It is far more effective than a company logo.  People like pictures of other people and their trust rises immediately when they are presented with that.

This video was recorded on August 15, 2009 in Berkeley, CA.  It was part of a full-day workshop entitled Social Media Victories  Real Businesses, Real Campaigns, Real Results which focused on how entrepreneurs, small business owners and self-employed service professionals can leverage Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube to grow their businesses.

This video is about your head shot and why it's so important to have a consistent photo on all the various social media platforms.  Your head shot becomes a major part of your brand and you should embrace that as an opportunity to have a "logo" without ever designing an actual logo.  Your photo becomes your logo and you should protect it whenever possible.
