2. Personal Branding
Personal Branding is the
practice of people marketing
themselves and their careers as
brands.
While previous self-help
management techniques were
about self-improvement, the
personal-branding concept
suggests instead that success
comes from self-packaging.

10. Why your Business need LinkedIn
Company Page ?
Let’s start with some quick stats about why a LinkedIn company
page is important for your business:
Over 3 million companies have a LinkedIn company page (as per
mid-2015 stats)
More than 500,000 company pages were added between 2014
and 2015
There are 148 different industries represented on company pages
To date, there are more than 1,275,000 products and services
highlighted across LinkedIn company pages
11. Creating a LinkedIn company page is the easy part;
getting people to actually follow your page is where
many business owners need a
little guidance.
LinkedIn company pages are essential. Not just for
brand visibility, but also for building and sustaining a
useful community around your
products and services.
13. 1. If your employees are on LinkedIn, ask them to add your page as their
workplace. When they do this, they will automatically become followers of
your page.
14. 2. Promote your LinkedIn page via your other social media
marketing channels: Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus etc.
15. 3. Make sure your company profile is complete. LinkedIn shows a preference
for complete bios in on-site search, so make sure yours is 100% complete.
16. 4. Add a link of your company page in your email signature.
17. 5. Ask your employees to consistently share your page posts for
maximum visibility.
18. 6. Use images in all your page posts. Images tend to attract more
attention to your posts, meaning more engagement and increased
visibility.
19. 7. Engage with your current connections and page followers FIRST.
Make a point of regularly commenting on and sharing other
people’s posts
21. 9. Regularly share useful content with your followers. Without a steady
stream of content, your page is unlikely to grow. Give users a reason to
follow your page!
22. 10.Gather analytics: It also allows you to track everything that you are
doing and make adjustments as needed.
