question for writers experienced with ezine...

when creating your profile do you use a photo of yourself? i am planning on marketing to a few niches and would like to use an alias as to become an authority in those niches. if not, do you think it affects your click through rate or not?

thanks.

ps-would using a stock photo of someone else with the alias "work"?

c'mon people. i need some help with this one.

well i basically submit my articles on ezine to show off my writing skills to my clients. I know quite a few people who work on ezine, i remember everyone using their own photo :/

i doubt that a picture has anything to do with your click through rate though!
