Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile – Day 1

by | Jan 9, 2019

You can listen to the January 9th Small Business Marketing Tip Flash Briefing for a limited time here.

Here are the 4 things we talked about today to start optimizing your LinkedIn Profile: 

  1. You must have a professional headshot – period. No joke, no slacking, get it done!! 
  2. Use your proper, professional name in your profile. No gimmicks in this space… be a pro! 
  3. Include your location tag, even if you work nationally or internationally. 
  4. Customize your profile URL to make it nice and clean when you share it. 
  5. BONUS – I forgot to mention the importance of that background image on your profile. Take advantage of that great real estate to tell a story about what you do, how you do it, who you serve, etc. 

I thought I’d throw up my LinkedIn profile to highlight the areas I’ve mentioned. And if we haven’t connected there yet, hit me up!

If you have an Alexa device and you have never used Trebble FM on it before, follow this link to enable it.
