LinkedIn Profile: To attract business connections, employers, leads and sales
LinkedIn, with over 500 million users, is one of the fastest growing social media applications available today. It’s main focus is helping you to maintain your professional network. Similar to Facebook in the way you add a picture and a little information about yourself, connect with others and even share and like content but that’s where the similarity ends. Your LinkedIn profile is an online resume, idea sharing, lead generating, discussion invoking, and knowledge base tool. I’ve been on Linked for a few years but really started focusing on it this year as I wanted to expand my audience for my blog as well as look for potential business opportunities. After accumulating just under 200 connections over the past few years, my research and recent efforts have moved my business connections to over 1000 and counting. Have I met all of the people? Not even close but we all have at least one thing in common, we are looking to network with like minded people. In this article, I’ll share some of the highlights of how I optimized my profile so that eyes are on it it everyday, I get constantly get requests to connect, and recruiters find me very easily.
