Top 10 Tips for Boosting Your LinkedIn

Published: Mon, 11/24/14

, are you on Linkedin?

Are we connected?

My clients are all business owners whose
best clients are well educated, six figure
earners and hang out on LinkedIn.

I've been on LinkedIn for over a decade
and met awesome clients through it,
both for my coaching and consulting
as well as for speaking.

Here are my Top 10 Tips to Boost Your
LinkedIn Visibility!

#1 Be Honest and Real.
Get a new professional headshot to be used
across all social networking and online
platforms. A smile is the shortest distance
between strangers so use one (besides if we
can't see your teeth, we may think you don't
have any!) If you are suffering the delusion
that you haven't changed in a year or more,
suffer no more and get a new headshot taken.
The whole point to online networking is
ultimately to meet face to face. You want
to be recognizable quickly and easily
and
avoid a dishonest disconnect.

#2 Be Clear and Focused.
Update your LinkedIn profile summary to
accurately reflect what you do. You may
have added a new position, a new key project,
a new certification, a new degree, a new award,
a new book since you last updated. Stay current.
Each update is a chance for others to see what
you've been accomplishing
and notice your
talent and services.

#3 Be in the Right Place, Right Now.
Join 5 (not 50) active LinkedIn groups where
your ideal prospects are hanging out. Notice,
this isn't a suggestion to join groups of your
peers. You can certainly do that, but realize
that isn't likely to be where you'll be growing
business. By joining selected active groups,
you become strategic in your use of time on
LinkedIn and avoid the time wasting than can
occur with non-essential online chit chat known
to gobble hours.

You don't need to be on all the social networks,
only the one where the majority of your ideal
prospect hangs out so you can reach them for
conversation and conversion to clients.
Stop spinning your wheels and get targeted
and focused.
