The number ONE question I get about LinkedIn is “How do I get my profile 100% complete?”
|
Well LinkedIn Fans, this is a really great question and very simply answered. This is an important question as well, because you are 40% more likely to be found on LinkedIn IF your profile is 100% complete. That’s a significant number and another reason to make sure your profile is complete and available to the 60 Million people on LinkedIn.
So, what do we mean by 100% complete? Here are the 7 items that need addressed to assure 100% completion of your LinkedIn profile page:
• Upload a Photo-Professional photo, not your dog or kids or you partying. Remember this IS the PROFESSIONALS social network
• Current position-Don’t stop with just your current position, share more so we learn more about you.
• Two past positions |
|
• Education-the more information you give LinkedIn, the “smarter” it becomes in making recommendations on who to connect with.
• Profile summary – tell a story about Brand YOU. The more interesting, the more likely it is to be read.
• Specialties – be precise and clear
• 3 recommendations- Give to Get. Give recommendations to get them.
– LinkedIn doesn’t tell you this, and LinkedIn support doesn’t seem to know it either, but you get 5% for each recommendation, up to a maximum of 15%.
