14 Tips That Lead to Instant Success Leveraging
LinkedIn
As you probably know by now LinkedIn is an awesome FREE resource for
businesses that in all honesty is invaluable to entrepreneurs and small –
medium sized businesses. You will find a variety of people on LinkedIn like
contractors, vendors looking to win sales, professionals, and career seeking
individuals trying to find their dream job.
If you have an intention using LinkedIn to its maximum potential then
there are a few things that you can implement quickly to become a
successfully branded authority in your field using these proven methods to
create a Long-lasting Loveable Brand!
The first step to success on LinkedIn
Creating an expert profile – This means you want to leverage this asset and
make it as dynamic as possible. Think of it as a snapshot of your resume. If
it commands attention than your potential is limitless.
Utilize a photo of yourself that portrays you in the light you are
trying to position yourself. If you want to portray yourself as an
expert or professional then use a professional photograph.
Never use a photo taken with a cell phone camera.
Create an attention grabbing headline that is clear and most
importantly searchable, i.e. “Board Certified Athletic Trainer.”

2. LinkedIn Essential Checklist
Always be sure to include your websites, blogs, and Facebook
fan pages
Give a strong summary of your qualifications and skills followed
by a directive that tells people what to do next if they are
interested in connecting with you. Make sure it is keyword-rich
so that it will be easy for people to find you.
Be sure to include all your jobs and write a comprehensive
summary for each one.
Remember to keep your information updated because many
employers use the internet to check your resume for accuracies.
Whatever you do NEVER EVER embellish or lie. You don’t want
this to come back and bite you.
You should list relevant volunteer work, memberships or
leadership in clubs, associations, and other organizations.
List as much education and training as the page will allow.
Add a YouTube video of your bio to stand out.
Add a slideshow presentations, PowerPoint’s, articles, reports,
whitepapers, and pdf documents to your profile to solidify
credibility and expertise in your field.
Use the new twitter app to integrate twitter into your LinkedIn
profile. This adds interaction features that allow people to get to

know you. If used correctly you will clearly stand out from the
competition.
Include your relevant awards and accomplishments to your
profile.
Always be sure to spell check your work when you are finished
in order to avoid looking unprofessional on your first
encounter.
Note: Hopefully you noticed that I continually emphasis “relevant” content.
Nothing is worse than going to a person’s profile and trying to guess what
they specialize in because they have so much unrelated information
included in their profile. Do you think a potential employer or partner is
going to fish through that information or move on to the person who clearly
conveys their message with clarity.
Finally I would like to make you aware of the #1 mistake that LinkedIn
members make and that’s simply not completing their profile. It will only
take a couple of hours to implement the steps above and we have even
created a Step By Step LinkedIn Video Series to help you through each step.
Here are a few of the benefits you will gain from leveraging these
techniques:

Create profitable partnerships
And much more…
Now that you have your profile setup you’re probably wondering how you
can connect with more people and grow your reach. One of the quickest and
fastest ways is to use the search feature at the top of the page to search for
people you know that are very well connected.
Simply send them a quick message letting them know that you are now on
LinkedIn and that you would like to connect. Once they accept your
invitation you will have access to their networking database as well.
During the invitation process you can also search for companies that you
have worked for or a presently working for. You can invite people from
within the company to join your network as well. Be careful though because
you don’t want to get banned for sending invites to people that you don’t
know.
Once you have built up a few connections you may want to put your
networking circle on steroids using a group of LinkedIn members who
leverage each other to grow their networking channels. We put our names
on a list that allows people to send us invites that we will accept.
If this is something that interests you then you can join us at

Now that you have connections you can begin interacting with your new
associates to promote a business, get new customers, create
partnerships/joint ventures, and much more. Be creative and think of how
you can leverage LinkedIn. Just don’t forget the golden rule.
Give, give, give and you will see results!
