THE 4 KEYS TO OPTIMIZING YOUR LINKEDIN PROFILE "ABOUT SECTION": Nowadays, it's beyond important to make sure all of what we do on LinkedIn is optimized, including your "about section"/"summary section" of our profiles. What I have found over the years, is that there are four keys to making sure it's optimized to build the "know, like", and trust" with all who visit your profile: 1. Make sure it's at least 500 words in length 2. Make sure it's written in 1st person 3. List 10-20 skills that make you an expert 4. A direct call-to-action to connect offline Which of the tips helped you most? Comment below... #linkedin #linkedinprofile #linkedintips

Is your LinkedIn profile up-to-date? Some big changes coming that you need to know about: 1. The ‘talks about’ hashtags will be removed from the intro section of profiles. 2. Your ‘about’ section will gain prime real estate at the top of your profile, above your activity section. 3. The creator mode on/off switch will be removed. The main takeaway for me is the changes to the positioning of the About section. With up to 2,600 characters, this is your chance to let people know what you’re all about - your experience, expertise, and why they should connect with you (or hire you!) There are some great tips and examples in this LinkedIn profile guide, and some lesser-known LinkedIn features you might not have noticed: #LinkedInTips

Change this on LinkedIn TODAY! Getting found on LinkedIn doesn't have to be difficult. It does have to be purposeful. One of my clients had taken a new professional headshot to level up her LinkedIn profile. Without doing any of the other LinkedIn optimization tasks, she uploaded this new picture and was contacted by recruiters interested in her expertise. Learn from my client's success. Refresh your LinkedIn profile and be seen. #linkedinnetworking #linkedintips #jobseeker

#URN Ever wondered why LinkedIn post 𝗨𝗥𝗟𝘀 look so long and weird? Take a look at my latest post's URL: 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻.𝗰𝗼𝗺/𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱/𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲/𝘂𝗿𝗻:𝗹𝗶:𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆:𝟳𝟮𝟰𝟮𝟱𝟲𝟭𝟬𝟵𝟱𝟱𝟵𝟭𝟮𝟯𝟵𝟲𝟴𝟰 Here's what's happening: The first part (𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻.𝗰𝗼𝗺/𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱/𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲/) shows it's related to an activity in the LinkedIn feed, like a post. The second part (𝘂𝗿𝗻:𝗹𝗶:𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆:𝟳𝟮𝟯𝟴𝟭𝟴𝟲𝟭𝟴𝟰𝟲𝟬𝟱𝟬𝟴𝟵𝟳𝟵𝟮) is a unique ID that LinkedIn uses to keep track of that specific post. - 𝘂𝗿𝗻: Stands for "Uniform Resource Name," a specific identifier format. - 𝗹𝗶: Refers to LinkedIn. - 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆: Indicates that it's related to an activity (in this case, a post). - 𝟳𝟮𝟯𝟴𝟭𝟴𝟲𝟭𝟴𝟰𝟲𝟬𝟱𝟬𝟴𝟵𝟳𝟵𝟮: A unique identifier for this particular activity. LinkedIn uses these kinds of 𝗨𝗥𝗡𝘀 to uniquely identify objects in their system (e.g., profiles, posts, articles). In this case, the URN is specifically pointing to an "activity," likely a LinkedIn post.

Is your LinkedIn profile effective? Here’s how to check: Go to your own profile. Look under "Who viewed your profile". But there's more. Compare the visitors who are first-degree connections. Identify if you initiated the connection or if they requested to connect with you. If you see that for instance 50 people have viewed your profile in the last week and less then 20 of these visitors have sent you a connection request - you can draw some conclusions.
