How To Be Attractive on LinkedIn

By

Something a little different for you this Saturday.  My good friend Geniece Brown who owns and operates a Virtual Assistant Company called Brown Virtual Assisting sent out this great email that I want to share with you.

linkedin clientsThere is so much power in LinkedIn for business when you use it properly.  I have written a number of times on the topic of LinkedIn and thought you would love to read from another perspective.

Here is Geniece’s email…

OK so back to the point. I want to ask you a few questions regarding your linkedin profile:
Have you filled out your profile to it’s complete capacity?
Are you making new connections on a weekly basis?
Have you used your keyword (example: “social media” if you’re a social media business) in as many places in your profile that you can think of?
Have you given any recommendations to anyone you know on LinkedIn?
Do you provide helpful tips and engage in conversation?
Have you maximized the amount of groups (you can join up to 50) you can join on LinkedIn or created your own group?
Do you post a self promoting blog once per week to your relevant LinkedIn groups?

 

If you did not answer yes to the majority of the questions, then you’re missing out on clients who want what you’re offering.
How do I know this? Because, I implemented these techniques just a few short weeks ago and have added two new clients to my business, getting more messages to my inbox with people asking to meet with me, and secured a slot with a well-established editor to be a writer for a new online women’s magazine that’s coming out in May (I’ll tell you more about that later!).
You can find me on LinkedIn, Facebook, twitter, Google+, Pinterest, etc. but LinkedIn is my number one tool for social media marketing.

 

Now I’d like to ask a favor from you my friend. Here it is:
I have search engine optimized my profile with my keywords (words that I want people to find me by on linkedin). My keywords are:
  • virtual assistant/virtual assistance
  • administrative assistant/administrative assistance
  • email marketing
Can you do me a favor and go to your linkedin profile, go to people, and search by one of my keywords? When you’re done, send me a quick note and let me know if I was successful at showing up on the first page of the search rankings in the people gdi5ggiXKQSRIul3g9ezrjl72eJkfbmt4t8yenImKBVaiQDB_Rd1H6kmuBWtceBJsection of LinkedIn.

Like I said, I’ve gotten most of my tips for successful linkedin marketing from one of my coaches and by following Lewis Howes (www.lewishowes.com). And here’s another great video where Lewis Howes talks about keyword search on linkedin: Click Here 

Go to your LinkedIn profile and clean out the cobwebs!
To your success,
Geniece Brown
