PICTURE PERFECT HEADSHOTS WITH AI

When it comes to the professional world and job search, LinkedIn is THE place to be. You can search for jobs, network with other people, and build a personal brand.

But the biggest thing with LinkedIn is your profile picture.

And the numbers agree!

LinkedIn members with a profile picture receive way more engagements — 21 times more profile views and 9 times more connection requests.

But this doesn’t mean you can use just any random picture; leave the selfies for your IG!

LinkedIn is a professional app, so your profile picture has to be high quality and super professional.

Something like these:

I mean, there’s a reason LinkedIn members with a professional headshot get 14 times more profile views than those without.

But it’s such a hassle! Just for 1 professional picture:

• You have to hire a photographer or someone with a nice camera

• Get all dressed up

• Find a nice place to take the pictures

• Go through all of them and see which one you like

It’s a lot of things, and most busy professionals simply do not have the time.

Not to add that a professional headshot can cost up to $250+! Many simply can't afford this.

This is where you come in — provide professional profile pictures using AI.

How does it work?
This is all your customers have to do:

• Send you some pics of their face (they probably already have tons of pictures sitting in their camera roll).

• Then you go to a website called HeadshotPro, insert their pics, and it’ll generate tons of professional-style pictures for the person - different poses and all.

Wanna see how good it is?

There are a ton of tweets if you search for “HeadshotPro”. This one sums it up well.

What’s the cost?

Glad you asked. Not too pricey.

HeadshotPro comes with different packages ranging between $29-$59. But luckily, it’s not a monthly subscription, so you only need to pay when you have a client and the cheapest version gives you 40 headshots - well enough.

There’s one other AI service you can use.

It’s called PhotoAI. Created by Peter Levels, a guy who makes over $200k a month on products he built himself - impressive!

The main difference is it’s on a monthly subscription, which has its pros and cons.

Pro: If you get a lot of clients it’s cheaper than paying on a per-shoot basis

Con: It can rack up if you only get a few clients a month

It’s pretty cool. Similar to HeadshotPro, you input your clients' pictures. But with PhotoAI, you can tell it anywhere you want to be and any clothes you want the person to wear!

In another country or in the tropics next to vintage cars? You got it!

Now you know your options. How much can you charge?

Easily $50-$100. A big perk is they’ll have these pictures forever and can use them for other stuff, not only their LinkedIn profile. Or even change their LinkedIn pfp periodically.

Considering that a professional headshot costs $250+, this is a good service at half the price.

Here's how I’d find clients

Reach out to anyone who's active on LinkedIn that has a bad profile picture or none at all. These are your clients. *bonus if they’re looking for work*

Tell them the stats behind a great headshot and how you can give them the professional picture they’ve always wanted without the hassle and stress of a photoshoot.

Feel free to use this outreach script when reaching out to potential clients:

Don’t mention how much you charge yet. Just something to get them interested.

Feel free to create one for yourself with that personal touch. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy; just something to introduce yourself, the service you provide, and how it’s going to benefit them.

Plus, you can scale this business super easily with the right strategy and have virtual assistants (VAs) reaching out to people for you.

Administrative services cost on average $10-$20 but since this is just a copy/paste message you could get $10 or less.

Let’s do a recap of this business idea. It..

• Requires low capital

• Super easy to start

• Scalable with the right strategy

• A great side hustle that can bring in up to $500 monthly (if you charge $50 X 10 people)

Happy hustling and let me know if you have any questions! 👊

CHART OF THE DAY

Thought I’d do a little PSA. I’m still extremely bullish on crypto. This is a chart of what you could buy with 1 bitcoin over the years.

I still invest in crypto regularly. It’s quiet rn but it won’t be forever and even the biggest companies in the world, like BlackRock, know it. Rumor has it they will soon be offering a BTC ETF 👀

304 days until the next btc halving. We’ve never had a time btc didn’t increase after the halving. Let’s get it 💪

That's a wrap! Enjoy the weekend :)
