Hi Robert, This is a good concept for a new group. Our Mentors in Motion Xooma Marketing Team places great importance on branding yourself as part of building relationships with people who have never met you. I have had good results by consistently using the same picture on all of the sites I am involved with, as well as making sure to use my full name with the first letters in caps, not lowercase. I have heard it said that once people have seen your name in print 7 times, they feel as though they know you, even if they've never met you, and people generally feel comfortable with this formal way of showing a proper name. On the internet many of us have got in the habit of not capitalizing our names, but if you do it makes a big difference in people's attitude towards you as a person they can trust, and ultimately in the trust they place in your product or opportunity. Hope this little diatribe helps to contribute something of value to your group.
