Main takeaways from today’s Marketing Success Live Topic- 4 New LinkedIn Tips for 2017

1. Save your profile as a PDF– Read your LinkedIn profile printed out as a PDF. This will help you catch errors and get a new perspective on how your profile looks to the reader. Make sure it reads similar to a resume. Having a PDF version is also helpful if you accidently delete something on your profile. Now you have a back up so you can easily refer back to. Save LinkedIn Profile as PDF

2. Get an archive of your data- We back up the most important things we own such as our computer and our phone. LinkedIn is one of the most valuable resources we have for growing our careers, so it only makes sense that we back this up too! Archiving your data saves everything from your contacts, posts, account data and more. To get an archive click on “Privacy & Settings”. Stay in the “Account” tab which shows up by default and scroll down to “Getting an archive of your data”.

3. Turn OFF “Viewers of this profile also viewed”– Stay on the “Privacy & Settings” section. Scroll to the “Privacy” tab in the middle. Then scroll down to “Viewers of this profile also viewed” and make sure it’s turned “OFF”. You want to keep people on your own profile. When this option is turned on, it’s easy for people to navigate away from your page. The less distractions people have when they are on your profile, the more likely they will be to focus on your LinkedIn highlights.

4. Monitor your LinkedIn Analytics- This helps you track your activity and attribute it to how many leads and sales you’re getting through LinkedIn. You can discover prospects and partners based on who’s viewing your profile.  This also allows you to understand how your activity can help you rank higher in your network and what you may want to improve in the future.

LinkedIn is making big changes and they are already rolling out a new profile format for many users. It’s important to have a personal back up of your profile in case things disappear with the new updates. These 4 simple tips will take you no time to execute yet they will provide you with peace of mind and help you attract new customers! Let us know in the comments if you take action on any of these tips!
