Privacy on the internet
Privacy, this is one thing which is very important to me, on the net and also in private life. When you give up you're privacy - you give up everything which is dear to you, and the public can come and tremble over you're life, so - if they knew every little bit of you're life and the life of you're loved ones.
I working from my home, and my patients never run thru my house to the clinic, the clinic is on the other side with a separate door to enter, they never saw the inside of my house or my life. Even on Facebook, I'm very private - only use Facebook for the business, my personal photo is for sure not on there. So far with no photo at all, I have many bookings, been booked as far as March 2017 - and that without a picture of me!
They can meet me the day when they come for treatments, then they saw my face for the first time, and I'm gonna keep it so. Facebook - faceless with my photo.
For social communities, it's the same - no personal photo of me. I do not know anyone on the net, it say's nothing if we had a chat for the last 2/3 years or more, they are still foreign to me. On the net, you can find very weird people, with funny ideas, so I keep my distance at all the time and keep it private.
And where, in which study book it say's you must put up you're photo to get more traffic and sales on you're site, or on you're community pages?
And a other thing, not only is you're personal life private but also you're financial life - that one is a big boo boo! What you earn on you're site and what you're overheads are, had nothing to do with anyone except your bookkeeper! And may be you're bank manager.
Don't you people know, that any info on you, can be used against you - don't you care?

You are free to conduct your business online however you see fit.
I don't necessarily think that making ourselves public improves our chances of success, but I do think that more people are likely to trust someone they believe they know more about. Naturally, it could all be lies. ;)
To take your not knowing someone on the net even if you've been chatting with them for 2 or 3 years a little further, the same can really be said about the "real world".
I meet plenty of "weird" people at work and it's far more likely that I'll be harmed by someone locally than some wacko in cyberspace.
I don't care what people share. It's up to them to do what they feel comfortable with.
Good luck in your business, whoever you are. :)
Yes, I agree, in the real world - also 'weird' people, that's why I need privacy. On the net, how do you know the person on the other side is sincere? And the photo of themselves - are that real? On the net, you can be anyone you like to be, false personality and false photo. Look at facebook - the people I knew in real life have a totally different personality on the net - people are very false on facebook, you know that person on facebook and in real life are 2 different persons.
You never knew a person 100%, even in real life, not even you're husband or wife, children, family and so on.
Hard work and persistence will reap good fruit, not open house on the net or in real life situations with you're clients.
