Why LinkedIn ?
Mostly used by B2B platform
LinkedIn is the one of the most used social media platform for professionals. It has almost 700+ million users as of 2020.
Organic Lead generation
In most of the platforms, organic reach is very less. But in LinkedIn, it is very high compared to other platforms. LinkedIn is a content game and most of the leads are through posting content and engaging with others.
Personal Brand
Personal Brand is need of the hour for anyone. Elon Musk and Steve jobs are prominent examples of this. They built their personal brand which is now helping them to build their business.
People want to hear from a face, not from brands. So, brands hire influential people or celebrities as their brand ambassadors.
People know Tesla and Space X because of Elon. He has a bigger following on social media than his companies. A personal brand can’t be sold and invested, but it can give rise to many brands from their influence.
A personal brand becomes an influencer & a brand ambassador for the companies they run. Personal branding is the need of the hour.
I always talk about personal branding. Personal branding helps in building your company’s brand as well. From getting internships, jobs to growing your business, it will help so much.
In this time of Covid distress, your presence in social media helps you as well. You know who you will hire, a person with skills and a person with skills and a good social media presence.
So, Network is your Net worth. Start building your brand. It’s never too late.

LinkedIn Profile Optimization ?
LinkedIn Profile optimization is very important, as your connections or followers will know which skills do you have, what you are doing and how they can approach you.

Profile picture is very important in LinkedIn Optimization. A good head shot with smiling photo with a plain background can do wonders.
A person with good head shot photo will be authentic, as people will also know you are active and they will connect with you.

A good cover photo is very important.It should have what you are good i.e. your skills at and how people can contact you. You can use tools such as Canva and Crello to design your cover photo.
Headline
Headline is also one of the most important part of profile optimization. I follow this principle called WWH, which means what are your good at, what you can do for your clients, and in how many days .
Try to include keywords in your headline as there are more chances of getting your profile at the top when people search for it.
Ex: I help entrepreneurs and business owners to 10X their personal brand through LinkedIn.
Summary
Summary should have what you are currently doing, what clients you have served, how they can contact them and what are your services. It is like boasting about yourself, but in the right manner to showcase your skills .
Endorsements and recommendations
In Endorsements, try to have your top 3 skills and keywords you want to rank. When people are searching for an expert, your name should pop up.
You can ask your colleagues, friends, and also your bosses to recommend you. It can also used as testimonials in your website.
