Haha, that is an interesting article! I agree with you. In contrast to other platforms, people here tend to stick to their picture much more consistently. Probably because we feel and recognize that within this ocean of articles and comments the picture is the primary identification icon. Surely, the name is important too, but when we suddenly change the picture it might be that others initially don't recognize us because our mind somewhat is on autopilot not even looking at the name any longer but only the picture.

At least this is my feeling ;)

great article and very helpful to me, let alone my new in steemit.

Good post! For newbies who's new here, it's really important to get some good profile pic probably a selfie to give more credibility to the account letting others know that you're a real human being.

That is very true. due to decreased drastically bitcoin

You give advice about profile photo. A face, but you have some logo ... where's the catch? did you even read what you posted?

Thanks for the tip!

You are right .I have spent 3 to 4 months on steemit and i have noticed people look at profile and reputation more :)

Thanks for sharing ..helped me a lot.  By the way   I'm on 5days on steemit

Umm... Is that coming from someone who doesn't use a profile pic? Classic! ;)

Or you can use a name or if you are rich enough to make a logo use it ,it will add more to your account ;)

Nice write up 

Hi There, I'm fairly new to Steemit and I'm wondering if you have any other tips on how to be more successful with the site? I noticed a larger uptake with my first couple of posts, however have experienced a huge downfall. Any advice would be useful if you have it! 

Thanks for your help @whatageek

@rhe-rhe

How about your own profile pic or is that too outdated now

Greetings to you @whatageek.  I liked this post of yours, but I think there's a discrepancy to what you preached here though.  I just feel that if you want to lead an example, then just be one.  I don't know you might have a photo profile elsewhere, but many didn't see it here.  I know you're a geek.  Thanks for reading.  PEACE.

that's really good tip... profile pic. is more noticeable than username.

Thanks for the tip. Now my mission is to find a profile pic.

Spread this to help new people !

It is so funny, I designed a logo for you and haven't yet created one for me and neither have I uploaded my photo. Thanks for reminding :)
