Looking at the camera, preferably smiling, and looking approachable so that people will want to connect with you and reach out. ☘️ Your Cover background image The second photograph you have on your profile is your background image or cover photo. This is a really important place on LinkedIn. It could be a photograph of your workplace. If you provide a service or sell a product, your product could be in here. If you are a podcaster you could have your podcast art here. ??‍? Headline Check your headline, so make sure your headline is attractive to the people that you want to work with. Does it tell people what you do and who you do it for? ? Service Page Next, if you provide a service on LinkedIn, make sure you have your service page created on your profile. It literally is like a little company page post but for service providers. This tells you a little bit about the person and up to 10 services that they provide. ☎️ Contact Information Next is your contact info button. You can add in your phone number your email and your websites. You can add in multiple websites. You can have a link in here to your podcast website, for example, and your Twitter handle if you have one and your birthday. ⭐️ Featured Section This is your area where you get to highlight your products services, your key things you want people to know about you. You could have a link to a free download page on your website or link to your newsletter. ? About Section Once people have clicked on your your name, your headline, they're scrolling down through your profile to see more about you and the About Section is a real opportunity to win those people over. This section is about your customers and your clients, what they're struggling with, and how you can help them. You want to make sure you've included in here what problems that your customers have that you help them with, how you can help them what services you provide or what products you have. Always end with a request to connect with you, whether it's to connect on LinkedIn, follow your LinkedIn, you send somebody to your website, your email address. ? Experience Section I would like you to have a look at your experience section and make sure it's up to date. For all of the roles you've done in the past, focus heavily on the experience that relates to what it is that you do now. ? Education If you went to university add in the universities. When you do this, and you add in your university, make sure in the drop down box, you select the actual university so that the university logo appears in your experience section, and also up on the introductory card and up at the top of your profile. Then you've got licences and certifications, add in any that you have. If you have been a volunteer, add that as every little helps on your profile ?? Skills and Endorsements Check your skills and endorsements section, run through all the skills you have listed, make sure they are skills that you use now, not in the past, and and your network will start to endorse you for your skills. ✅ Recommendations. Try and get into the habit of asking customers, clients, people you've worked in teams with, for recommendation of your products and services. ? Accomplishments Add in Honours and awards, Courses that you have done, Any publications, Any languages that you speak Any organisations that you are a member of. ?? ?Interests Section People can see: - the companies and influencers that you follow. - groups that you are a member of. So be aware of that and go and check and what's actually showing in your interest section. This will help you to get your profile up to date.
