One cannot explain the importance this image, as it reflects who am i and what you would like to convey about myself to steemit. For better or for worse, we all make snap judgements of each other based on cultural conditioning, and you should be conscious of these when choosing an image.

Are you wanting to look serious? Do you want to be seen wearing smart office wear? If you’re a man, are you wearing tie? Are you smiling or do you have a neutral expression on your face? Is the picture going to be in colour or in black and white? Do you want the image to be funny or playful? What’s going to be the setting of the picture.

There is not a correct or incorrect image in itself, but there will be the right and the wrong image depending on what you are trying to achieve with it. It has to be appropriate for the brand values you want to convey to your intended audience.

For example, if you are a lawyer, you probably don’t want anything to humourous or whacky given the conservative nature of the legal sector… unless you are wanting to brand yourself as a whacky, funny lawyer to distinguish yourself from your competitors.

Therefore, this is my steem mode, this is my image for steemit!
