❓ This is a question I get very often on Facebook these days. And guess what’s the first thing I do after reading your message?
📱 I check your Facebook and Instagram profile! Yes, because that’s exactly what host families will do too. Think about it: they are about to welcome a complete stranger into their home. Of course, they will take a look at some of your pictures. That’s why you need to make sure your profile looks good, especially your profile picture.
📷 Choose a nice photo where you’re smiling and where your face is clearly visible. Why not go out with friends and do an impromptu photoshoot? Avoid silly faces or excessive filters. Keep it natural and simple!
✨ Now, let’s talk about your cover photo! Pick a well-framed landscape or an inspiring quote that represents you and could resonate with host families.
🤸 Finally, make sure your Facebook profile doesn’t reveal too much personal information or embarrassing pictures (we all have some! 😅). Go to your settings and check who can see your posts.
😊 Once you’ve done all this, you’re ready to write the perfect ad!
