This is where your LinkedIn story starts - your profile picture. It's like a virtual first impression. 

Imagine scrolling through profiles, and you see a profile without a profile pic. Does that grab your attention? Nah, probably not!

A proper profile picture is like a friendly, confident hello. It tells people you're a real person they can trust. 

Here are a few tips:

Tip #1: Use a professional headshot

  • Getting a professional headshot shows you're serious about how you look and how you come across to others. It's worth the investment, trust me! 
  • Choose a photographer who knows how to take good business headshots.

Tip #2: Smile

  • A genuine smile conveys warmth, approachability, and confidence. It makes you appear more likable and approachable, encouraging others to connect with you. 
  • Avoid forced or overly wide smiles, as they can come across as insincere. Aim for a natural, relaxed smile that reflects your genuine personality.

Tip #3: Dress professionally

  • When you're picking your profile pic, make sure your outfit matches what's normal in your job. Go for clean, wrinkle-free clothes that fit you nicely.
  • Avoid too casual or revealing attire, as it may not convey the professionalism of LinkedIn.

Tip #4: Use a simple background

  • A plain or slightly blurred background ensures that the focus remains on you, the subject of the photo. Avoid busy or distracting backgrounds that might detract from your presence. 

Tip # 5: Don't add a video profile pic!

A one-liner that sums up who you are and what you can do with the right action words adds a great definition to your profile.

  • For example,

             "Social Entrepreneur | Empowering Communities"

              "Tech Enthusiast | Making the World Smarter One Byte at a Time."

  • Also,  this doesn't have to be strictly work-related. You can also write "Dedicated Parent," for example.

  • For example, if you're a marketing manager, use keywords like "digital marketing," "content marketing," and "social media marketing."

Tip #3: Proofread before you hit 'publish.'

  • Always tell a story in the About section, even if you’re talking about your achievements, weave it into a story and not a pitch.
  • But make sure to get rid of typos and grammar mistakes, it can make you seem careless and unprofessional. 

Tip #4: Make the best use of CTA.

  • Use a call to action at the end of your summary. 
  • For example, you could say "I'm always looking for new challenges and opportunities. If you're looking for a skilled and experienced [job title], please connect with me."

Tip #5: Don’t forget about formatting.

  • Use bullet points and numbered lists to break up your text and make it more readable.
  • Make sure you write small paragraphs, no paragraph should be more than more than 30 words long.
  • Leave spaces between paragraphs to make it look readable.
  • Use bold and italics sparingly to emphasize important points.

6 More LinkedIn Profile Tips- Flaunt Your Skills, Endorsements, and Recommendations

Nowadays, folks care more about what you can do than the fancy degrees you have, so it’s important to flaunt those skills!

LinkedIn's search algorithm prioritizes profiles that include relevant skills. By adding your relevant skills and expertise to your LinkedIn profile, you increase your visibility to a wider pool of potential clients and partners.

When you add relevant skills to your LinkedIn profile-

  • Your profile is more likely to appear in search results when potential clients are looking for your services. This means more conversations and more leads!
  • And, if people endorse your skills and drop personal recommendations, boom! You and your profile become super trustworthy.

Tip #1: List your skills and experiences.

  • Ensure your LinkedIn profile is fully filled out to provide a clear snapshot of your skills and experiences.
  • LinkedIn has a dedicated "Skills" section on your profile. Add your key skills there.

LinkedIn endorsements are a feature on the LinkedIn platform that allows you to support your connections' skills. When you endorse someone, you confirm they're good at what their profile says. It adds credibility to their professional strengths.

To maximize endorsements- 

  • Request endorsements only from relevant connections - people who actually know you or you’ve worked with
  • Specify the skills you want the endorsement for.
  • Reciprocate - You can even endorse first, and then request one back.
