In the competitive world we live in that also resides in the digital atmosphere,  it seems such a profile photo on LinkedIn is becoming the most popular way to present your first impression to employers or clients for your business.  That’s why we’re starting to see a lot of entrepreneurs turning to AI generated LinkedIn headshots so that they can have a competitive edge on others in their industry. 

These AI-powered headshot programs are more cost-effective than hiring a professional photographer.  This technology is advancing every day with customizable options that allow you to change your outfit, adjust the background, remove blemishes, and adjust the lighting with just a few clicks of a button. 

You no longer have to wait on a professional photographer’s list for them to get your edits.  AI headshot technology is available to everybody and is $50 or less in most cases to create a professional looking selfie for your LinkedIn headshot in a few minutes. 

So why is it that entrepreneurs are starting to lean into AI technology to enhance their selfie with their LinkedIn profile?  There are many answers to this question,  and below we will dive into the many reasons why entrepreneurs are starting to lean into using artificial intelligence to enhance their headshots on their LinkedIn profile. 

First Impressions have always mattered, no matter who you are and where you’re from.  You probably can remember the first time you met someone in your life who is either no longer a friend or is still a lifelong friend.  That first day you met them in real life, you probably formed some sort of judgment based on your first impression of looking at their appearance. 

This is something we naturally do as human beings and so we constantly do it in the digital environment as well.  The issue with the digital world is that a first impression is often reduced to a headshot photograph on a LinkedIn profile.  This means that as an entrepreneur you need to stand out from the crowd and you need to put your best face forward quite literally. 

Another reason why entrepreneurs are turning to artificial intelligence technology to enhance their LinkedIn headshots is that the technology can save them money.  This technology is low cost and less time-consuming than going to a professional photography studio to get your photographs taken and then wait for them to find the time to edit and enhance the photographs for your LinkedIn profile. 

Entrepreneurs are finding that they are saving money and valuable time by using AI headshot technology to enhance their selfies at home. Most entrepreneurs aren’t looking just to save money; they want to save their time as well, because time is money in the entrepreneurship world. 

 These people are running their own business and have to use their time effectively and efficiently so that their business doesn’t seep into their personal lives.  Every entrepreneur out there knows how many hours you put into your work and how often you found yourself sitting behind the computer desk when you just wanted to be with your family, experiencing some family time together. 

This means that any tool you can find that helps you reduce the time involved in your business structures and business tasks such as taking photographs and updating profiles is going to be a program that you’re willing to use because it will create more time to invest in marketing your business, promoting your services, or spending quality time with the people that matter to you in the real world. 

This technology also allows you to maintain similar branding and professional photography across the board with all of your websites and social media information, including your business cards you hand out to local people.  With a few clicks of a button, you will have one professional looking photograph that you can utilize on all outlets where you’re advertising your entrepreneurial skills, services, and products. 

At the end of the day you are a one person shop and it is necessary to find  the appropriate tools to help you save money and save time so that you can put your best foot forward in every area of your business without experiencing burnout. AI headshot generators are  a true Lifesaver for any entrepreneur who wants a professional photograph without the hefty price tag. 

Technology is allowing more and more entrepreneurs to feel confident in their business and their first impression.  in the past we have had to worry about what we look like if our closing is right the colors that we have or the background we use in our LinkedIn has shots but we don’t have to worry about that anymore because AI technology is here and ready to save us from the disaster that is often our blurry, horrible background selfie that we took at home.
