How to Make a Great Linkedin Profile - TIPS + EXAMPLES 

Seems a lot easier when you already have a ton of stuff accomplished to talk about. When you're fresh out of school and trying to break in this so much harder to find captivating stuff to talk about

In all my years I've never seen someone offer viewers personal feedback. Incredibly generous!

took me about a month to make these changes nonetheless I did it. Now I can see that my LinkedIn profile stands out even more. Thanks for the gems and please continue to make quality content. cheers!

I love the way he started "Forget about Facebook Twitter LinkedIn is where the money is" I love it when people go straight to the point

Having a custom background image is definitely key for STANDING OUT on LinkedIn 😊 When designing this, just keep in mind that the placement of your profile photo changes on mobile & desktop, and you’ll want to make sure that none of the important information on your LinkedIn cover photo (such as call-to-actions, other text etc.) GETS HIDDEN by your profile picture 😉

Your points about demonstrating your likeability, influence and competence on LinkedIn are on the money (and I agree, LinkedIn is where the $$ is!)

very straight to point, I like your intro it's just straight to business and the way you explain is very easy to understand even though it's almost the end of 2021. I still find it relevant

1. Appropriate profile picture - Close up - Look in the camera - Smile - Professional [ Dress appropriately] - Neutral background - Update your background picture 2. Headline - Job title - @Company Name - Zing factor [talking point that includes keywords for the search algorithm] 3. Summary - Skills - Strength - What solutions you have to offer business - Social links [website, youtube video etc]

Amazing , makes so much sense and straight to the point. Thank you 👍

Great tips! Here's one tip I would add: In your headline, focus on WHAT you do, not WHO (position) you are- people also use LinkedIn to search and usually look for 'WHAT' or a capability (i.e Digital Marketer, Accountant, Business Coach, Software Developer) rather than positions (i.e CEO or MANAGER)

Hi Lieven, Great tips, brief and straight to the point, I’m using linkedIn since the beginning, but overlooked most of it what you’ve mentioned. After creating and editing profile from time to time i never used linkedIn as a tool to promote my business. I’m going to change that from now. Thanks Lieven once again

Wow, great video! love the phrase " Linkedin is where the money is!" totally agree. It pays to have a good Linkedin profile. Keep it up!

These tips were really helpful. Learning how to properly use Linkedin can help improve your business. We all need to better understand how to manage social media profiles.

Really short and simple. Thanks for making it easy to understand.

The correct picture is very important as most use it to form an immediate opinion. As you said, many things e.g. sunglasses are are 'no' and should be left for other non-professional social media platforms... totally agree.

Great tips, Straight and short! Excellent! Many thanks to the author!

I enjoyed it and really got impressed with it. Thank you and will share my LinkedIn profile link after doing a bit own my own.

I took note of what you said, I will definitely pay attention when opening a profile, I am a new graduate Thanks!!

Excellent presentation of the how and why information needed to stand out on LinkedIn. Great examples too (wish more presenters thought about hitting the mark in the area). Thank you for your informative video.

Hello Mr. Buyse: I just finished viewing your video this morning. I am thankful that you have taken the time to provide a step by step overview of how individuals may optimize their LinkedIn profile. There were a number of tips that I found very helpful. Thank you! I am going to take you up on your offer and am submitting my LinkedIn profile link for your review and comments. I will do t his separately. Cheers, Michael

Hey, This is the first video on LinkedIn profiles I watched. And I learned a lot from it, specially when it comes to the profile title as well as writing the summary. I was a Project Manager in the retail industry for 7+ years. As an introvert and an anti-social media advocate, I didn't see the importance of a LinkedIn profile up until about a year ago, specially since I believe in face-to-face interactions. And most of my career opportunities have been a result of head-hunting and offline networking. But since I quit my 9-to-5 to start a business, I now see how an online portfolio/professional record is a MUST in generating leads and impressing potential customers. So I started working on my profile. One key thing that I did apart from what you mentioned was to apply for positions in my area of expertise and using Premium, having a look at my skill compatibility in each of those jobs and I added skills that I didn't previously mention, to my account accordingly. I also made sure to link those skills to my education and work history to increase their credibility. I also mentioned a few details about projects I was involved in, as well as I featured an external third party article about one of those projects in my profile. Likewise, I'm looking at a lot of other well optimized profiles as well as a lot of other learning materials about this, and I found out that I was lacking in a few areas too. Namely, volunteering, endorsements and recommendations. I think the reason for this might be that most of the people that I actually worked with aren't that active on LinkedIn, or they don't have a profile at all. So I'm finding it a bit hard to fulfil those criteria at the moment. I'm not sure if the offer to check out LinkedIn Profiles still stand, but I would much appreciate if you could have a look at mine. : www.linkedin.com/in/shanikede/ Thank you!
