5 LinkedIn Mistakes

1. 3rd Person – It is hard to connect with someone talking about themselves, so write in the first person.
2. 1-way communication – Talking AT your network isn’t the best way to build relationships – Engage and talk WITH them.
3. Incomplete – Minimal info and gaps can lead to questions. Increase your visibility and impact by completing each section of your profile. 
4. Out of date – If you haven’t touched your profile for 5 years, now is the time to review it. Update your profile images and content often to reflect who and where you are now.
5. Not having one!  – Not being found can hurt your professional brand. Make it easy for others to find, engage and reference you. Invest in your digital footprint.

10 LinkedIn Profile Essentials

2. Branded visuals –  Use a photo of the version of you that shows up to meetings with new clients, decision-makers or stakeholders. And embrace visual storytelling with your background image.
3. 1st person copy – Tell your story with personality, and infuse passion and purpose using my framework (refer to LinkedIn Profile Blueprint).
4. Optimised experience – Focus on outcomes and achievements (include internships and work experience).
5. Media – Include a video introduction to your profile, or your organisation or cause, media stories, achievements, PDF resume or bio, portfolio links …
6. Relevant skills – Make the top 3 pinned skills the most relevant and seek endorsement.
