Greetings!

This newsletter is all about LinkedIn. I have some tips to create a compelling LinkedIn profile and a FREE LinkedIn Scorecard to see where your LinkedIn profile and presence are right now.

My friend and colleague, Gillian Whitney and I are teaming up for monthly Media Mavens Talk audio events. The first one was all about LinkedIn Lives. Our next one will be an Ask Me Anything LinkedIn on September 27th. .

Unlike LinkedIn Live shows, during audio events, you can join us on the stage live and ask questions or just join the conversation.

📰 Are You Using LinkedIn To Your Best Advantage?

LinkedIn provides many opportunities for you to sell yourself to recruiters, employers, and potential clients.

But LinkedIn is only a tool. It’s up to you to use it to your best advantage.

Unfortunately, most people don’t use LinkedIn’s features to their best advantage.

When it comes to your profile:

🔹Does it have LinkedIn’s default Profile Banner?

🔹Is your Headline your current position (LinkedIn’s default)?

🔹Do you have 1 or 2 paragraphs in your About section, maybe talking about your employer?

🔹Do you ever comment on anyone’s posts, let alone write your own?

If you haven’t updated your Headline or written your About section because you don’t know the parameters and character counts LinkedIn supports, now you have no more excuses.

Wondering how effective your LinkedIn profile really is? Find out how it measures up with the LinkedIn Scorecard.

The 12-page LinkedIn Scorecard is a self-assessment that allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of your LinkedIn profile and engagement. There are scales to assess key LinkedIn profile features, including your headline and profile photo and your engagement and visibility. 

It's delivered through Thinkific, so you'll need to put in your email address, but you're already on my list 😉
