You choose my next headshot!

I talk a lot about the power of social media, blogging and podcasting; it's a network; blah, blah, blah.

So to see just how powerful my network is, I'm going to try something revolutionary in my industry: I'm going to let YOU choose my next headshot--the photo that will be on my business cards, website and plastered over every promotional item I produce for the next five years!

I'm nervous. Normally, this process is industry-only. Actors and speakers take their proofs to their agents and others supposedly in the know who give their professional suggestions on what photo will best represent the most sellable aspect of the speaker's personality. But since most of my clients these days are private, I'm taking a leap and trusting y'all to know what YOU would hire, not what some agent thinks will sell.

Now, when I say "taking a leap," I mean it. It does make me a bit nervous to do what I'm about to do--post a link to all the photos from the shoot, including the ones with my eyes closed or where you can see that really big zit or the sardonic expression I was giving the photographer. But I'm determined to invest in the power of social media, so for those who are interested in giving input, here's what to do:

1. Click here to get to the private online proof site for the shoot.
2. Enter this password: eLJgmd358
3. There are over 250 images in the shoot. Click "Favorites" in the upper left-hand corner to see the 20 or so I've selected as the best possibilities.
4. We're looking for one business look and one casual look, so cast your vote for each!
5. Leave comments and feedback here on the blog or email me at heidim@heidimillerpresents.com
6. When commenting, refer to photos by their code.
7. The most important thing to look for is eye contact and implied interaction--a look that would make you want to invest a lot of money in, well, ME for your next trade show.

Thanks in advance for your participation and comments!
