Tips for making myself look older?

So I just got this job writing online, and I have to submit a photo of myself for the bio. The problem is I'm 18 (although I arguably look younger) and the other writers are middle aged. I don't want my age to affect my credibility. Any way I can make myself look older? Photoshop, dress, etc.?

Age affects credibility in writing?  I didn't know people would be seeing your face when they were reading your words.  =  /

By "job writing online" do you mean "signed up for an account on Suite101.com after getting a targeted ad on Facebook"? If so, and I mean this without any sarcasm: good luck making any money at all.

Facial hair, if you can swing it. 

I'm 21, but with a beard I can pass for a person three years older.  But, if your hair is too light, like a coffee-brown or a red, then facial hair is probably not the way to go until you're a bit older.  In my opinion, facial hair is only effective if your hair color is sufficiently dark.

I'd go for the young genius look, dude. As long as you don't have pink hair or anything, I don't think you need to worry.

Never wear a beard when applying for a job. Just cut your hair short and wear a suit with tie. Unless you really have a babyface that'll do it.
