5 Quick Tips for LinkedIn

  Think Like A Boss (And What They Would Search For)

  Before LinkedIn can help you become rich, you’ve got to get keyword rich. Put
  yourself in a recruiter’s shoes, imagine what they might search for, and make
  sure you use multiple keywords to describe your skills. For example, a blogger
  can include keywords like “writing” and “researching”, but should also include the
  skills they are developing, like “HTML, WordPress, Photoshop”, etc.

  Supernova Studios Tip: Cover all your bases by including long and short form
  titles of your position. If you’re a Customer Service Representative, also include
  “CSR” in your keywords.
5 Quick Tips for LinkedIn
 Customize the Websites Section

 Make people want to click on the websites you list by giving them descriptive titles.
 Instead of pointing to Supernovastudios.ca, I’d label it as “Web Media Consulting”. To do
 this, select “Other” in the drop-down menu when selecting your website, and it will prompt
 you to manually type in your preferred title. Drop in the URL in the appropriate field, and
 save your changes. You can include up to three sites total.

 Give and Receive Feedback

 One of the first things recruiters will look for once they’re on your page is positive
 feedback. A great recommendation can go a long way in making a good impression on a
 potential employer. Be sure to use the “Request Recommendation” feature on any
 colleagues you feel would review your work favorably. Score some good karma points by
 taking a few minutes to also provide recommendations to people who ask them of you.
5 Quick Tips for LinkedIn
 Focus On Your Strengths

 While optimizing your skill set (in the Skills and Certification section) will help make you easier
 to be found, it’s crucial that you’re being discovered for the right things. If you fake it and
 highlight skills you don’t necessarily possess, you’re going to waste a recruiter’s time if they
 contact you for a job you can’t perform. Zone in on your best qualifications and focus on listing
 those in a way that’ll attract the offers you want.
5 Quick Tips for LinkedIn

  Customize Your URL

  Specific URLs look a lot more professional than generic
  ones, but more importantly, it helps you rank higher in
  search results within LinkedIn and Google. Here’s how:

  In “Edit My Profile” mode, click on the “Edit” tab next to
  your URL. This will allow you to create a URL unique to
  you. Like this: http://ca.linkedin.com/in/supernovastudios
LinkedIn Groups
LinkedIn Groups provide areas where like-minded individuals who work in the same
industry, at the same company or simply share the same interests can explore
ideas, discuss business opportunities and take part in conversations.

Individuals can join pre-established LinkedIn groups by simply visiting the Groups section
on LinkedIn. Search for groups by name or use a relevant keyword (e.g. agriculture
associations). Groups are organized into categories such as Professional, Non-
Profit, Alumni, Networking, etc. Some groups require a request to join and others offer
open access. There is no limit to the number of groups you can join as a LinkedIn member.
When you join or host a group, that group’s icon and link are posted on your profile page.
LinkedIn Groups

As a LinkedIn account
holder, you can create a group
and invite your connections to
join. To do so go to the groups
section and click “Create a
Group” (see arrows). This will
take you to a page where you
can complete information
about your group including the
name, description, website
address if
applicable, preferred
language, etc.
LinkedIn Groups

When adding members to your group you can “Send Invitations.” There are three ways to
invite someone to join your group:

① Select them from a list of your personal connections
② Enter their email addresses
③ Upload a CSV (Excel) file with contact information
Building Influential Connections

 Here’s how:

 Identify the Best Group Opportunities

 Evaluate the groups you’ve joined or intend to join and focus on the top 3
 to 5 groups that most accurately represent your target demographic. Also,
 you’ll want to choose groups that don’t have a huge membership.

 I recommend that you choose groups that have at least a few hundred
 members, but no more than a few thousand if you really want to maximize
 your visibility.

 Plan to proactively visit each of your top groups 2-3 times a week.
 Don’t wait for the daily or weekly updates that come to your email inbox.
 Identify your best opportunities and plan to make frequent and consistent
 appearances!
Building Influential Connections

Target the Most Popular Discussions in Each Group

The most “popular” discussions within a group generally get the most visibility. These are the topics
where members are most actively engaged and they feature discussions that you will want to weigh
in on. The most popular discussions are at the top of the group discussion page, and typically there
will be quite a few comments associated with them for you to review and learn from.

As you weigh in on popular discussions, respond to existing comments, provide an insight or
opinion or even ask a thought-provoking question to generate additional comments. You can
also “Like” and “Share” these discussions with your connections.

If your comments add value to
the popular discussions,
members will begin to
recognize you as a thought
leader within the group.
Building Influential Connections

 Start Your Own Discussion

 Starting your own discussion thread is also a powerful tool within a
 group, but you must be strategic with this. I recommend that you wait to
 start your own discussion until after you’ve spent some time
 participating in the top discussions first (#2).

 In addition, observe the contributions of the most active group members
 in order to understand their concerns, goals and objectives. What seems
 to be important to them?

 Also study prior popular discussions. What topics have resonated with
 members? In starting your own discussion, pose a question, ask for help
 or advice or post a relevant and interesting article or resource for the
 group’s benefit. Your goal with starting your own discussion is to
 encourage as much engagement as possible!
Building Influential Connections

 Follow Up and Follow Through

 One of the disadvantages of LinkedIn Groups is that it’s difficult to keep up with
 updates unless you proactively visit your top groups as recommended. Make
 sure to keep up with the conversations you’re participating in.

 Don’t let too much time lapse and don’t leave a conversation open. Keep your
 comments fresh and interesting to demonstrate your commitment to your
 groups.

 Also consider handing out “Likes” for interesting posts by group members and
 share valuable posts as LinkedIn status updates. When you share a group
 discussion post as a status update, you’re exposing it to all of your connections
 and giving the post greater visibility within LinkedIn. Promoting and connecting
 others on LinkedIn can build social influence.
Building Influential Connections

 Start Your Own Group

 If you’re willing to make the commitment, another option is tostart your own LinkedIn Group. If
 you manage your own group, you have control over many aspects of your group. To an
 extent, you can control which discussions get more visibility through the “Manager’s Choice”
 feature.

 As the founder of the group, it’s actually your job to lead discussions with the group! Ultimately it
 will be the members who push the most interesting discussions to the top. When you start your
 own group, make sure that you have a well-defined niche or theme. Otherwise you may not get
 much traction. Focus on bringing people together who can benefit from sharing mutual
 experiences and insights.

 Using this approach for your LinkedIn Group participation strategy can help you maximize your
 time and energy on the network. Making a commitment to adding value to a small number of
 targeted groups on a consistent basis will help you build influence and new connections. In
 addition, you’ll find that there’s little competition in this strategy!
LinkedIn Answers
 To help those seeking resources, information and answers to burning questions, LinkedIn
 has created “Answers”. As a members of the LinkedIn professional network, you can ask
 and answer questions relevant to your profession. When you submit a question it is made
 public. Anyone who finds your question may submit an answer. Those who submit the
 question to start can select the best answer from those provided. If you provide the best
 answer for a particular question, this information will be shared on LinkedIn Answers with
 your connections.
Company Pages

 In addition to personal profile accounts, organizations may create company pages on
 LinkedIn. Company pages can be used to make announcements, share discussion and
 promote job opportunities with your company. To create a company page for your
 business, go to the main Companies page and select “Add a Company”. Every company
 page must have a name, description, headquarters location, and a list of specialties that
 your business provides.
Company Pages

Several popular businesses in the Fortune 500 already have a company page on
LinkedIn. You can find them with the search function or by browsing by industry. LinkedIn
allows you to “follow” companies and receive alerts when activity occurs such as new
hires, departures and job openings.
Ready, Set,
     Go!
Your LinkedIn profile is a significant part of
your public image and credibility. With the
pace of our lives changing rapidly, your on-
line presence is taking a more significant role
than your paper presence so be
creative, know that it will take a while to get
the profile you are very happy with (just like a
solid resume) and have fun with it.

Now, you're ready to get LinkedIn to
work for you!

  • 8. 5 Quick Tips for LinkedIn Think Like A Boss (And What They Would Search For) Before LinkedIn can help you become rich, you’ve got to get keyword rich. Put yourself in a recruiter’s shoes, imagine what they might search for, and make sure you use multiple keywords to describe your skills. For example, a blogger can include keywords like “writing” and “researching”, but should also include the skills they are developing, like “HTML, WordPress, Photoshop”, etc. Supernova Studios Tip: Cover all your bases by including long and short form titles of your position. If you’re a Customer Service Representative, also include “CSR” in your keywords.
  • 9. 5 Quick Tips for LinkedIn Customize the Websites Section Make people want to click on the websites you list by giving them descriptive titles. Instead of pointing to Supernovastudios.ca, I’d label it as “Web Media Consulting”. To do this, select “Other” in the drop-down menu when selecting your website, and it will prompt you to manually type in your preferred title. Drop in the URL in the appropriate field, and save your changes. You can include up to three sites total. Give and Receive Feedback One of the first things recruiters will look for once they’re on your page is positive feedback. A great recommendation can go a long way in making a good impression on a potential employer. Be sure to use the “Request Recommendation” feature on any colleagues you feel would review your work favorably. Score some good karma points by taking a few minutes to also provide recommendations to people who ask them of you.
  • 10. 5 Quick Tips for LinkedIn Focus On Your Strengths While optimizing your skill set (in the Skills and Certification section) will help make you easier to be found, it’s crucial that you’re being discovered for the right things. If you fake it and highlight skills you don’t necessarily possess, you’re going to waste a recruiter’s time if they contact you for a job you can’t perform. Zone in on your best qualifications and focus on listing those in a way that’ll attract the offers you want.
  • 11. 5 Quick Tips for LinkedIn Customize Your URL Specific URLs look a lot more professional than generic ones, but more importantly, it helps you rank higher in search results within LinkedIn and Google. Here’s how: In “Edit My Profile” mode, click on the “Edit” tab next to your URL. This will allow you to create a URL unique to you. Like this: http://ca.linkedin.com/in/supernovastudios
  • 12. LinkedIn Groups LinkedIn Groups provide areas where like-minded individuals who work in the same industry, at the same company or simply share the same interests can explore ideas, discuss business opportunities and take part in conversations. Individuals can join pre-established LinkedIn groups by simply visiting the Groups section on LinkedIn. Search for groups by name or use a relevant keyword (e.g. agriculture associations). Groups are organized into categories such as Professional, Non- Profit, Alumni, Networking, etc. Some groups require a request to join and others offer open access. There is no limit to the number of groups you can join as a LinkedIn member. When you join or host a group, that group’s icon and link are posted on your profile page.
  • 13. LinkedIn Groups As a LinkedIn account holder, you can create a group and invite your connections to join. To do so go to the groups section and click “Create a Group” (see arrows). This will take you to a page where you can complete information about your group including the name, description, website address if applicable, preferred language, etc.
  • 14. LinkedIn Groups When adding members to your group you can “Send Invitations.” There are three ways to invite someone to join your group: ① Select them from a list of your personal connections ② Enter their email addresses ③ Upload a CSV (Excel) file with contact information
  • 15. Building Influential Connections Here’s how: Identify the Best Group Opportunities Evaluate the groups you’ve joined or intend to join and focus on the top 3 to 5 groups that most accurately represent your target demographic. Also, you’ll want to choose groups that don’t have a huge membership. I recommend that you choose groups that have at least a few hundred members, but no more than a few thousand if you really want to maximize your visibility. Plan to proactively visit each of your top groups 2-3 times a week. Don’t wait for the daily or weekly updates that come to your email inbox. Identify your best opportunities and plan to make frequent and consistent appearances!
  • 16. Building Influential Connections Target the Most Popular Discussions in Each Group The most “popular” discussions within a group generally get the most visibility. These are the topics where members are most actively engaged and they feature discussions that you will want to weigh in on. The most popular discussions are at the top of the group discussion page, and typically there will be quite a few comments associated with them for you to review and learn from. As you weigh in on popular discussions, respond to existing comments, provide an insight or opinion or even ask a thought-provoking question to generate additional comments. You can also “Like” and “Share” these discussions with your connections. If your comments add value to the popular discussions, members will begin to recognize you as a thought leader within the group.
  • 17. Building Influential Connections Start Your Own Discussion Starting your own discussion thread is also a powerful tool within a group, but you must be strategic with this. I recommend that you wait to start your own discussion until after you’ve spent some time participating in the top discussions first (#2). In addition, observe the contributions of the most active group members in order to understand their concerns, goals and objectives. What seems to be important to them? Also study prior popular discussions. What topics have resonated with members? In starting your own discussion, pose a question, ask for help or advice or post a relevant and interesting article or resource for the group’s benefit. Your goal with starting your own discussion is to encourage as much engagement as possible!
  • 18. Building Influential Connections Follow Up and Follow Through One of the disadvantages of LinkedIn Groups is that it’s difficult to keep up with updates unless you proactively visit your top groups as recommended. Make sure to keep up with the conversations you’re participating in. Don’t let too much time lapse and don’t leave a conversation open. Keep your comments fresh and interesting to demonstrate your commitment to your groups. Also consider handing out “Likes” for interesting posts by group members and share valuable posts as LinkedIn status updates. When you share a group discussion post as a status update, you’re exposing it to all of your connections and giving the post greater visibility within LinkedIn. Promoting and connecting others on LinkedIn can build social influence.
  • 19. Building Influential Connections Start Your Own Group If you’re willing to make the commitment, another option is tostart your own LinkedIn Group. If you manage your own group, you have control over many aspects of your group. To an extent, you can control which discussions get more visibility through the “Manager’s Choice” feature. As the founder of the group, it’s actually your job to lead discussions with the group! Ultimately it will be the members who push the most interesting discussions to the top. When you start your own group, make sure that you have a well-defined niche or theme. Otherwise you may not get much traction. Focus on bringing people together who can benefit from sharing mutual experiences and insights. Using this approach for your LinkedIn Group participation strategy can help you maximize your time and energy on the network. Making a commitment to adding value to a small number of targeted groups on a consistent basis will help you build influence and new connections. In addition, you’ll find that there’s little competition in this strategy!
  • 20. LinkedIn Answers To help those seeking resources, information and answers to burning questions, LinkedIn has created “Answers”. As a members of the LinkedIn professional network, you can ask and answer questions relevant to your profession. When you submit a question it is made public. Anyone who finds your question may submit an answer. Those who submit the question to start can select the best answer from those provided. If you provide the best answer for a particular question, this information will be shared on LinkedIn Answers with your connections.
  • 21. Company Pages In addition to personal profile accounts, organizations may create company pages on LinkedIn. Company pages can be used to make announcements, share discussion and promote job opportunities with your company. To create a company page for your business, go to the main Companies page and select “Add a Company”. Every company page must have a name, description, headquarters location, and a list of specialties that your business provides.
  • 22. Company Pages Several popular businesses in the Fortune 500 already have a company page on LinkedIn. You can find them with the search function or by browsing by industry. LinkedIn allows you to “follow” companies and receive alerts when activity occurs such as new hires, departures and job openings.
  • 23. Ready, Set, Go! Your LinkedIn profile is a significant part of your public image and credibility. With the pace of our lives changing rapidly, your on- line presence is taking a more significant role than your paper presence so be creative, know that it will take a while to get the profile you are very happy with (just like a solid resume) and have fun with it. Now, you're ready to get LinkedIn to work for you!
