QUICK TIPS: 8 Things to do NOW on LinkedIn

Remember 2024 is all about "Start Strong, Stay Strong" ๐Ÿ’ช

1. SCROLL through your feed and UNFOLLOW anyone who doesn't interest you OR isn't adding value to your feed.

Is this individual insightful, a client, a potential client, an influencer, or a valuable connection? If the answer is NO... time to unfollow (especially if they don't make you feel good).

2. CHECK your LinkedIn settings and make sure your LinkedIn profile photo is set to public.

This is also the time to review your current headshot and make sure it is a goodie ๐Ÿ˜Š - Is it a current (not 10 years old), friendly, approachable, clear, head/shoulders profile pic.

3. BOOKMARK profile pages of those that matter

These are Clients, Prospects, Content Creators.

4. REVIEW your Featured Section

Add current high-performing posts, case studies, media releases, videos, newsletter links, and website page.

Include the right website, and the right email address.

QUICK TIPS: New Feature in Company Page to Engage with Audience

Have you noticed that your Company Page has a messaging inbox?

This feature makes it easier for Page Admins to engage with their audience.

โ€œWe want to make it as easy as possible for marketers to reachโ€ฆ future buyers and for those future buyers to connect with brandsโ€.

โ€œPages Messaging will help power a two-way conversation, so when a member has questions about a product or company, they can reach out directly to the brand through their Page.โ€

Your LinkedIn Company Page has a dedicated Inbox so that they can manage these two-way conversations and prioritise enquires that matter most to your business.

Let me know how you go with this. Iโ€™m interested to see if brands are using this feature and if things get really overwhelming, you can turn off Messaging entirely by turning off the Message button toggle in your Inbox Settings. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Lastly, make sure you ring the bell ๐Ÿ”” on those Company Pages that matter to you. This is an opportunity for you to muscle your way in front of prospects, clients and others! ๐Ÿ’ช

QUICK TIPS: 7 Must-Do's on LinkedIn to Achieve Success and Get Your MOJO Back

Feeling fatigued and a bit cynical about the #LinkedIn super-power?

FACT - 1% OF LINKEDIN MEMBERS CREATE CONTENT ON THIS PLATFORM.

Here are 7 must-dos on LinkedIn to achieve success and get your MOJO back. ๐Ÿ•บ

1. Complete your Profile Page - You would never stand up and present or pitch without preparation (well most of us don't) and yet you have a scrappy, messy, out-of-date LinkedIn profile page that over 900 million people can look at. And then you expect to win new business; land a Board role; get hired, etc. - makes no sense.

2. Know and Grow your Audience - identify who you need to get in front of to win new business; get hired; or land the next Board role - get laser-focused on the audience - it matters

3. Personalise your Messages - who likes receiving generic, spammy messages? No one! Tailor your messages, and be upfront and authentic - some may read and ignore but plenty won't.

4. Don't Post Crap. Think about your Content Strategy - chop it up into these 5 silos - capability | knowledge sharing | events | partnering & collaborating | community
We have been doing this for over 8 years - we know this mix works. Trust us.

5. Success Stories Matter - Ignore the haters (they are boring ๐Ÿ˜‚ )
Share your case studies and testimonials - remember people pay you for your services and products - they need to know it works before they purchase.

6. Be Human - let your personality shine through - people underpin this platform, so it is important to be friendly, approachable, and authentic (I can hear you all cringe as I say this, but it is true ๐Ÿงก)

7. Measure Success - Don't ignore the LinkedIn analytics - look at the numbers, look at the audience... Is your activity working? Are you cutting through, being noticed? Are opportunities flowing?
