What Makes a LinkedIn Profile POWERFUL?

Your LinkedIn profile is NOT your resume. Your resume is your career history. It’s dull, boring and often task-based. Your LinkedIn profile is your CAREER FUTURE! It’s who you are, how you help people, and why you deserve to be noticed. A POWERFUL LinkedIn Profile sells YOU!

Here is an example of a POWERFUL LinkedIn profile

Notice how this LinkedIn profile is NOT copied and pasted from a resume.

#1. Professionally Taken Photograph
Your LinkedIn profile is your digital introduction and first impression with your reader. It’s important to look your best and a professionally taken photograph will ensure you are portrayed in the best light!

#2. Attention Getting Headline
Your LinkedIn Headline is very much like a headline in a newspaper. It should grab your reader’s attention and compel them to READ MORE! Download my LinkedIn Headline Generator to quickly and easily create a POWERFUL LinkedIn Headline that will get you noticed and found! Why not? It’s FREE!

#4. Connections, Websites, Customized URL
In order to truly leverage LinkedIn, it’s important to have a strong LinkedIn network with many first degree connections.

It’s not enough to just list your Websites on your LinkedIn profile. You should customize the link’s anchor text so that it ranks higher in search results.

Your public profile address is the direct link to your LinkedIn profile. By customizing the address with your name, you are able to add it to your email signature, resume, cover letter, letterhead, business card, and marketing literature.

#5. Compelling, Interesting Summary
Your LinkedIn Summary needs to POP! This is your chance to demonstrate to the world that you are an expert and someone who deserves to be noticed! This is where you sell yourself and showcase your accomplishments. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE YOUR RESUME! Why? Your LinkedIn profile is NOT your resume! Your resume is your professional history. Your LinkedIn profile is your career future! Your resume is dry, boring, and task-based. Your LinkedIn summary should be engaging and impressive to your reader. It should COMPEL them to pick up the phone and call you!

#6. Clear Call to Action
It’s important to tell your reader what to do once they’ve finished reading your LinkedIn summary. Tell them how to reach you! How many opportunities are you missing because you didn’t include your contact information?

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! There is so much more to your LinkedIn Profile!

Your LinkedIn profile extends far past the summary section. Work Experiences, Volunteer Experiences & Causes, Certifications, Education, Interests, and Groups & Associations are just a few of the additional sections that comprise your COMPLETE LinkedIn profile.

Testimonials

Here are just a few LinkedIn recommendations given to me by clients.

I hired Donna to help me punch up my Linked In Profile. Donna’s ideas were wonderful. My Profile took a giant leap forward – presenting my business and my personality in an engaging description. With the profile and Donna’s insightful suggestions for handling my Linked In Account, my connections have increased six-fold. Profile views and searches are up substantially as well. With the new year, Social Media is taking a larger role in my business plan. Donna’s expertise and sage advice is helping me realize that goal.

I wanted to make sure my LinkedIn profile was polished and professional. Donna worked with me to ensure my profile was authentically my own and portrayed me as a leader in my industry. The two hour session was fun and I was surprised at how easy it was to get an optimized profile.

Jeff Northup President & CEO of EyeScience Labs, LLC

As a VP of Secondary Markets for Best Buy, and as someone who has a diversified professional background that includes Merchandising, Procurement, Global Sourcing, and eCommerce, I knew it was important to have a strong, professionally complete LinkedIn Profile to organize and summarize my past roles and responsiblities. With your help, I was able to move my LinkedIn profile from boring to attention grabbing. I am glad I upgraded from the Basic to the One on One service. The time was definitely well spent and working directly with you helped me a lot in thinking through how to best use my profile–you do amazing work. Thank you again!!!

Gary Simning Managing Principal at EntryInc

“I had really become unfocused in my job search and how I was presenting myself. Thanks to Donna I am looking at my professional experience and background in a whole new way. Donna has an inspired and out-of-the-box approach to linkedin profile makeovers. Just a few days after my ‘makeover’ I received a call from a recruiter (I had no signs of interest from anyone for a very long time). Even though this job wasn’t the right fit I am more hopeful for future opportunities.
