Crucial Important Optional
CREATE YOUR VANITY URL
Vanity URL
GET DISCOVERED BEYOND LINKEDIN
• If you leave comments on business websites or professional blogs,
enter your Linkedin public profile URL in the website section.
• Add your URL to your professional Twitter bio.
• Add the URL to your business cards and resume.
• Make it part of your “about me” on your blog or website.
• Add it to your email signature.
A CENTRAL LINE OF CONTACT
• Save a few trees and make Linkedin your digital business card.
• Add your email address and phone number to your profile. Fix the
privacy settings as you see fit.
• Download the Linkedin mobile apps so you can instantly add
connections and keep up to date with your network.
USE SEO TO HELP YOU GET DISCOVERED
• Use keyword rich job titles
• Optimize your job descriptions
and experience
• Share more, especially your
own content
WRITE INDUSTRY RELATED ARTICLES
CONNECTION DEGREES
•1st-degree - People you're directly connected to because you've accepted their
invitation to connect, or they've accepted your invitation. You'll see a 1st degree
icon next to their name in search results and on their profile. You can contact them
by sending a message on LinkedIn.
•2nd-degree - People who are connected to your 1st-degree connections. You'll see
a 2nd degree icon next to their name in search results and on their profile. You can
send them an invitation by clicking Connect or contact them through an InMail.
•3rd-degree - People who are connected to your 2nd-degree connections. You'll see
a 3rd degree icon next to their name in search results and on their profile.
• If their full first and last names are displayed, you can send them an invitation by clicking Connect.
• If only the first letter of their last name is displayed, clicking Connect is not an option but you can
still contact them through an InMail.
•Fellow members of your LinkedIn Groups - These people are considered part of
your network because you're members of the same group. You'll see a Group icon
next to their name in search results and on their profile. You can contact them by
sending a message on LinkedIn or using your group's discussion feature.
•Out of Network - LinkedIn members who fall outside of the categories listed
above. You can contact them through an InMail.
ADD CONNECTIONS
• If you can’t figure out who to connect with, start with friends,
colleagues, and family.
• The average wedding planner knows that any given person knows
about 250 people to invite to a wedding. Make your wedding list.
• Use LinkedIn to follow up after other communications: Whenever you
receive an email, business card, or a business phone call; tell the
person that you are going to also connect by LinkedIn.
• It is wise to also add recruiters, experts in your field, potential
investors, journalists and members of the media, but always remember
to include a message with your request!
USE TAGS TO CATEGORIZE YOUR
CONNECTIONS
• Tags are like Circles on Google+. They are categories you can use to
organize your Contacts or Connections.
• Add Tags in the Contacts section of LinkedIn. Use them to differentiate:
• friends,
• partners,
• prospects,
• large prospects,
• customers,
• students,
• press, etc.
MAKE SURE YOUR PROFILE IS PUBLIC
• If you're hoping to get business from your LinkedIn profile, than you
want to make sure that anyone can view it, whether they're logged in
or not.
• Click on your profile image in the upper right corner of the screen to
access your account menu, and click on Privacy & Settings. Here you
can:
• Make sure EVERYONE can view your activity feed.
• Turn on or off your activity broadcasts
• Select what others can see when you view their profile (image, name and headline
recommended)
• Enable Open Profile if you're a Premium member
SUPPORT ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES
Are you looking for jobs in different countries? If so, you can offer your
profile visitors an alternate version in their language. Visitors to your
profile will see available languages as a drop-down to the right of your
top details box.
To the right of the View Profile As button, click on the down arrow to
reveal an additional options menu and click on Create profile in another
language.
DO NOT BE THIS STUPID! Things you need to avoid!

•Chief Visionary Officer
•Chief Marketing Guru
•Chief Thought Provoker
•Chief Thinker
•Chief People Herder
•Director of Fundom
#SWAG #YOLO
JUST. NO.
STEP 7: WRITE YOUR
BIO/INTRO
NEVER LEAVE IT BLANK
• Never leave the Summary section
blank!! A blank Summary means that
the first thing an employer sees is
your Experience section. Your profile
will then be like a resume without a
Summary statement at the top, or like
a term paper without an introduction.
How will recruiters and hiring
managers know where to focus or
what to concentrate on in
your LinkedIn profile if you do not
point them in the right direction?
IDENTIFY YOUR PURPOSE
• Why are you writing this bio? Who will
read it?
• You need to take some time to think about
your readers and what you want them to
think about you.
• State your profile objective clearly: are you
looking for investors, partners, to share your
ideas, a job, etc…
THIRD PERSON PERSPECTIVE
• Your bio should sound as though it were
objectively written, although it is obviously
anything but.
• If you look at any book cover, the bio will
be in the narrative mode even though the
author has probably written it themselves.
• So instead of writing “I have lived in
Switzerland and I speak 3 languages”, try
“John has lived in Switzerland and he speaks
3 languages”.
SHOW, DON'T TELL
• "What have I done" > "Who I am“
• The "show, don't tell" principle of writing means
focusing on what you do, not who you are - and
that means action verbs.
• List of Action Verbs for Resumes & Professional Profiles
• The more details the better.
• Don't just say you're creative. Make sure you
reference specific projects you worked on that
demonstrate your creativity.
TAILOR YOUR KEYWORDS SPECIFICALLY
TO YOUR AUDIENCE
• Your bio should position you as an
expert in your field who serves a
specific audience.
• Tell stories. Share your
accomplishments. Everyone likes a
good story. If you can grab some
attention with something about
yourself that we wouldn’t know from
your resume bullets, you’re heading in
the right direction.
THROW IN SOME PERSONALITY
• Add some flavor to your bio by
including something unexpected.
This can be a bit of humor or just
curious information that you think
people will be interested in, such
as you being a tea connoisseur –
already a topic for conversation.
• You can include something of the
sort: “and in his spare time, he
really enjoys writing about
himself in the third person”.
• A little witty twist at the end can
tell a lot about your personality.
STRUCTURE IT WELL
• Use all 2,000 characters. If you do not take
advantage of this opportunity to write 2,000
characters about yourself, you are missing out on
essential keyword optimization. Although the
MOST important spots for keywords are your
Headline, Specialties and Job Titles, your
Summary section counts too.
• Break it up (with Headers, Sub-Headers and
Graphics)! Don’t expect anyone to read a big
block of text with no graphic interest. Make it
visually easy to read.
• Include your contact information. Make it easy
for people to find you. If you’re comfortable,
include your phone number and e-mail.
AVOID BUZZWORDS & CLICHÉS
Avoid these statements:
• I’m a team player
• I have great communication skills
• I have a proven track-record.
• I’m a problem solver.
• I assisted in X task.
• I have a strong work ethic.
• I’m self-motivated.
• I’m accustomed to a fast-paced enviroment.
STEP 8: NETWORKING
FREELY GIVE AND RECEIVE
RECOMMENDATIONS
• The Internet is a world of views, likes, shares, and comments. But best
of all is a heart-felt recommendation, which you can do on LinkedIn.
Nothing boosts morale, loyalty, and friendship, like an unsolicited
recommendation.
• Don’t be afraid to ask for it from co-workers, friends, and even
customers.
GIVE ENDORSMANTS
• If you haven’t worked directly
with a person but know their
capabilities, you can give
them an endorsement.
CONNECT TO GROUPS
• Even users with robust profiles aren't
taking full advantage of LinkedIn's
groups. Groups are where experts,
insiders and customers are. Groups is
where you will find people you want
to know and, more importantly,
where people you care about can
find you.
• If you can't find a group that fits
what you do or includes the people
you want, start one. Not only will that
solve the problem, it's a great way to
demonstrate issue and market
leadership.

• Hair and Makeup
• Suit up!
• Don’t sit in your bed
• Don’t sit in the toilet (even if the strongest
wireless reception is there)
FOLLOW UP
After the interview, send the interviewer an email that includes:
 A thank you note for taking time to conduct the interview
 Your contact information
 Any references you mentioned in the interview
 If you decide that you do not like the offer or don’t want the job, recommend
someone else.
 Stay in contact later on, the recruiter might be a valuable asset for you in the future.

  • 32. CREATE YOUR VANITY URL Vanity URL
  • 33. GET DISCOVERED BEYOND LINKEDIN • If you leave comments on business websites or professional blogs, enter your Linkedin public profile URL in the website section. • Add your URL to your professional Twitter bio. • Add the URL to your business cards and resume. • Make it part of your “about me” on your blog or website. • Add it to your email signature.
  • 34. A CENTRAL LINE OF CONTACT • Save a few trees and make Linkedin your digital business card. • Add your email address and phone number to your profile. Fix the privacy settings as you see fit. • Download the Linkedin mobile apps so you can instantly add connections and keep up to date with your network.

  • 37. CONNECTION DEGREES •1st-degree - People you're directly connected to because you've accepted their invitation to connect, or they've accepted your invitation. You'll see a 1st degree icon next to their name in search results and on their profile. You can contact them by sending a message on LinkedIn. •2nd-degree - People who are connected to your 1st-degree connections. You'll see a 2nd degree icon next to their name in search results and on their profile. You can send them an invitation by clicking Connect or contact them through an InMail. •3rd-degree - People who are connected to your 2nd-degree connections. You'll see a 3rd degree icon next to their name in search results and on their profile. • If their full first and last names are displayed, you can send them an invitation by clicking Connect. • If only the first letter of their last name is displayed, clicking Connect is not an option but you can still contact them through an InMail. •Fellow members of your LinkedIn Groups - These people are considered part of your network because you're members of the same group. You'll see a Group icon next to their name in search results and on their profile. You can contact them by sending a message on LinkedIn or using your group's discussion feature. •Out of Network - LinkedIn members who fall outside of the categories listed above. You can contact them through an InMail.
  • 38. ADD CONNECTIONS • If you can’t figure out who to connect with, start with friends, colleagues, and family. • The average wedding planner knows that any given person knows about 250 people to invite to a wedding. Make your wedding list. • Use LinkedIn to follow up after other communications: Whenever you receive an email, business card, or a business phone call; tell the person that you are going to also connect by LinkedIn. • It is wise to also add recruiters, experts in your field, potential investors, journalists and members of the media, but always remember to include a message with your request!
  • 39. USE TAGS TO CATEGORIZE YOUR CONNECTIONS • Tags are like Circles on Google+. They are categories you can use to organize your Contacts or Connections. • Add Tags in the Contacts section of LinkedIn. Use them to differentiate: • friends, • partners, • prospects, • large prospects, • customers, • students, • press, etc.
  • 40. MAKE SURE YOUR PROFILE IS PUBLIC • If you're hoping to get business from your LinkedIn profile, than you want to make sure that anyone can view it, whether they're logged in or not. • Click on your profile image in the upper right corner of the screen to access your account menu, and click on Privacy & Settings. Here you can: • Make sure EVERYONE can view your activity feed. • Turn on or off your activity broadcasts • Select what others can see when you view their profile (image, name and headline recommended) • Enable Open Profile if you're a Premium member
  • 41. SUPPORT ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES Are you looking for jobs in different countries? If so, you can offer your profile visitors an alternate version in their language. Visitors to your profile will see available languages as a drop-down to the right of your top details box. To the right of the View Profile As button, click on the down arrow to reveal an additional options menu and click on Create profile in another language.
  • 42. DO NOT BE THIS STUPID! Things you need to avoid!
  • 47. ALSO AVOID •Digital Marketing Magician •Wizard of Light Bulb Moments •Brand Warrior •Senior Road Warrior Marketing Intern •The Social Media Badass •Digital Overlord •Direct Mail Demi-God •Mobile Sensei (and Planner) •Chief Visionary Officer •Chief Marketing Guru •Chief Thought Provoker •Chief Thinker •Chief People Herder •Director of Fundom
  • 50. STEP 7: WRITE YOUR BIO/INTRO
  • 51. NEVER LEAVE IT BLANK • Never leave the Summary section blank!! A blank Summary means that the first thing an employer sees is your Experience section. Your profile will then be like a resume without a Summary statement at the top, or like a term paper without an introduction. How will recruiters and hiring managers know where to focus or what to concentrate on in your LinkedIn profile if you do not point them in the right direction?
  • 52. IDENTIFY YOUR PURPOSE • Why are you writing this bio? Who will read it? • You need to take some time to think about your readers and what you want them to think about you. • State your profile objective clearly: are you looking for investors, partners, to share your ideas, a job, etc…
  • 53. THIRD PERSON PERSPECTIVE • Your bio should sound as though it were objectively written, although it is obviously anything but. • If you look at any book cover, the bio will be in the narrative mode even though the author has probably written it themselves. • So instead of writing “I have lived in Switzerland and I speak 3 languages”, try “John has lived in Switzerland and he speaks 3 languages”.
  • 54. SHOW, DON'T TELL • "What have I done" > "Who I am“ • The "show, don't tell" principle of writing means focusing on what you do, not who you are - and that means action verbs. • List of Action Verbs for Resumes & Professional Profiles • The more details the better. • Don't just say you're creative. Make sure you reference specific projects you worked on that demonstrate your creativity.
  • 55. TAILOR YOUR KEYWORDS SPECIFICALLY TO YOUR AUDIENCE • Your bio should position you as an expert in your field who serves a specific audience. • Tell stories. Share your accomplishments. Everyone likes a good story. If you can grab some attention with something about yourself that we wouldn’t know from your resume bullets, you’re heading in the right direction.
  • 56. THROW IN SOME PERSONALITY • Add some flavor to your bio by including something unexpected. This can be a bit of humor or just curious information that you think people will be interested in, such as you being a tea connoisseur – already a topic for conversation. • You can include something of the sort: “and in his spare time, he really enjoys writing about himself in the third person”. • A little witty twist at the end can tell a lot about your personality.
  • 57. STRUCTURE IT WELL • Use all 2,000 characters. If you do not take advantage of this opportunity to write 2,000 characters about yourself, you are missing out on essential keyword optimization. Although the MOST important spots for keywords are your Headline, Specialties and Job Titles, your Summary section counts too. • Break it up (with Headers, Sub-Headers and Graphics)! Don’t expect anyone to read a big block of text with no graphic interest. Make it visually easy to read. • Include your contact information. Make it easy for people to find you. If you’re comfortable, include your phone number and e-mail.
  • 58. AVOID BUZZWORDS & CLICHÉS Avoid these statements: • I’m a team player • I have great communication skills • I have a proven track-record. • I’m a problem solver. • I assisted in X task. • I have a strong work ethic. • I’m self-motivated. • I’m accustomed to a fast-paced enviroment.
  • 60. FREELY GIVE AND RECEIVE RECOMMENDATIONS • The Internet is a world of views, likes, shares, and comments. But best of all is a heart-felt recommendation, which you can do on LinkedIn. Nothing boosts morale, loyalty, and friendship, like an unsolicited recommendation. • Don’t be afraid to ask for it from co-workers, friends, and even customers.
  • 61. GIVE ENDORSMANTS • If you haven’t worked directly with a person but know their capabilities, you can give them an endorsement.
  • 62. CONNECT TO GROUPS • Even users with robust profiles aren't taking full advantage of LinkedIn's groups. Groups are where experts, insiders and customers are. Groups is where you will find people you want to know and, more importantly, where people you care about can find you. • If you can't find a group that fits what you do or includes the people you want, start one. Not only will that solve the problem, it's a great way to demonstrate issue and market leadership.
  • 63. GROUPS FOR ENTREPRENEURS Top 60 LinkedIn Groups for Job Seekers and Recruiters https://jobmob.co.il/blog/top-linkedin-groups-job-seekers-recruiters/
  • 64. GROUPS FOR ENTREPRENEURS •A Startup Specialists Group - Online Network for Entrepreneurs and Startups •Band of Entrepreneurs •Bright Ideas & Entrepreneurs •Digital Marketing •Entrepreneurs Meet Investors •Entrepreneur's Network •Future Trends •Leadership Think Tank •LInked Business Strategists •On Startups – The Community for Entrepreneurs •Private Equity, M&A, and Venture Capital Investments •Social Entrepreneur Empowerment Network •Social Media Marketing •Women's Network of Entrepreneurs •Young Entrepreneur Connections
  • 65. INTERACTING WITH INFLUENCERS As part of the maturation process of LinkedIn, its news tool--Pulse--is an easy way to find, follow and connect with leaders that matter to you and your business.
