This guide is all about using professional strategies, approaches that are based on my personal experiences, observations, the workshop lessons that I’ve implemented. Trust me, all you need is this guide in order to transform your LinkedIn game.

I’ve personally executed these strategies which got me 2000+ valuable connections. So use the most out of this guide.

And this system definitely works. As long as you put in the effort, you will surely see results.

Let’s roll forward for you to become a kickass LinkedIn user.

We all know that fundamentals are the baseline for everything. Without the basic fundamentals, chances are that the building blocks will collapse. So, my dear readers, in order to write essays, you should learn words and eventually who knows you can write a best-selling book. Alright, we went so far!

But you get the idea. To avoid further trial and error, use this guide to bring your desired results like never before.

Let’s set the ball rolling…..you will thank me later for the wise information I’m giving to you for free.

1- Find your target audience-

When you are getting started, defining your target audience is the most fundamental thing in order for you to set the foundation well. We all know that in order to write an essay, you should be knowing words, and eventually, who knows you may end up writing a best-selling book.

So my point is to find your objective which determines your target audience. This can be the stepping stone for your Linkedin profile. Your first 5000 connections should be accurate AF and I can’t stress more on it. As a matter of clarity, suppose you are a content writer, you can’t have freaking connections with engineers. Unironically!!

Speaking of which, your objective should clearly have a picture of what you want to achieve from Linkedin.

Like-

Who do you help?

What do you help them achieve?

How do you do that?

You must be joking if you have multiple target audiences.

Your Linkedin connection should appeal to you and your services to whom you end up catering. This makes your profile much more established rather than futile.

Hear me out on this, putting out relevant content coupled with an accurate set of audience will make your profile more kickass.

So, remember your first 5000 connections should have the right set of audiences that can give you the best results in terms of reach and leads. Play the game strong. Period.

2- Profile Optimization-

I absolutely don’t know who needs to hear this but to rank your profile on the top and get found, your profile optimization holds a ton of significance and power. You should for sure take this into high regard and come up with a badass and out the box profile enhancement.

Remember, optimization will give you optimal results, I bet.

This certainly brings me to the next point that who the duck we can optimize our profile. First of all, you don’t have to worry about this as I come to your rescue. I will be guiding you in that regard and accordingly you can do the needful.

Before that, can I just tell you something that Linkedin itself is telling you to upgrade your profile? Did you have a look on your dashboard at how many people viewed your profile?

Isn’t it amazing? You only have to leverage that dashboard by optimizing your profile.

Alright, rolling forward, 3 things to keep in mind-

Searchability

Clickability

Approachability

Your profile should fulfill the foregoing things to add colors to your profile.

Searchability is the place you live or the place you want to get rank on the profile. Let’s say, your location is Hyderabad, someone is searching for a content writer in Hyderabad, then your profile will get ranked among others of the same location. It likewise looks for others factors as well. Like- relevant keywords, location, name, title, about section, experiences, connection shared.

Linkedin is itself telling you, boss, that it looks for all the factors to rank for.

PROTIP- Significance of relevant keywords can go a long way in your Linkedin game. Try to incorporate the same keyword in the description box [about section] as well.

Clickability is something that makes your profile click. Basically, your profile should be capable enough in grasping attention. It does have a higher significance. Again, things like introducing yourself in an easier manner, professional headshot, and clear title can go a long way.

Approachability is another name of the work “leads”. In order to drive this, you can further shape up your profile by adding skills that you possess, incorporating valuable and powerful testimonials which can be icebreaking as it does add an enormous amount of credibility and reflects who you are as a person. It acts like real estate.

TESTIMONIALS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN YOUR DISPLAYED SERVICES.

If you prioritize making sure to do these simple yet influential things. I can assure you that your profile is rock solid. It is going to be worth it.

3- Connections

As I have already mentioned, you can’t have multiple connections. If you have innumerable and irrelevant connections which don’t align with your objective, maybe it’s time to remove them. If you are having 10,000 connections and you only end up getting 7 to 8 likes on your post.

What that supposed to mean my dear friend.

Fix your foundation, remove connections that don’t serve you. I know removing connections can be a tedious process. Perhaps, you can bribe your sibling to get the job done by them.

ANALYSE, COMPARE, REMOVE

And obviously, you can have some expectations. You can add your friends to your connection even when they don’t appeal to your LinkedIn objective otherwise you don’t want to get slammed by your friend.

Protip- Always send a connection with a personalized message as it can act as a huge credibility factor. Check out the following example.

Hey ABC,

I loved your recent post regarding………….

Maybe we can connect. I’m sure we can learn something from each other.

Hope to see you on the other side.

Your Name

That’s it.

Use clever tactics and be creative.

And guys engage with the other user to whom you want to establish a relationship. Things like commenting on other posts. One comment can change your life.

PROTIP- Enable following only on your profile as it eliminates getting unwanted connections.

4- Content Magic

Okay, so everything is dust and dusted. It seems that your profile is sorted. But content is the name of the game. It is the holy game.

It is the ultimate channel of communication after everything. You know what, let me tell you something, 90% of the audience profile is dead on Linkedin. ONLY 1% to 2% and this my friend you can use it to your advantage.

Create meaningful posts as much as you can.

CREAT, ENGAGE, REPEAT

Consistency is the biggest growth hack, remember. Keep yourself out there. Like, reply, share, comment. Make yourself VISIBLE. Small things like these can be instrumental to your growth.

TRENDING = CONTENT

You can create a post regarding what is trending. You can add your opinion, perspective.

Content is everywhere, but we fail to notice it. You will never run out of content when you keep this in mind. At times you only have to observe things around you to get that clicking.

THERE IS ABUNDANCE IN THE WORLD, BUT LACK OF ATTITUDE

Hope you got a clear picture of the things that I’ve mentioned. I also hope that it fueled the fire in you to kick-start your unbelievable journey. So by keeping this guide in mind, you will be good to go.

I would like to thank Vaibhav Sisinty for showering me with this remarkable knowledge.

More power to you guys.

Thanks
