Four Required Places for Your Keywords● Headline – one of the key areas LinkedIn considers
when ranking you in search results ● Current Work Experience – This is the 2nd place LinkedIn
looks, make sure keywords are in the job title. ● CEO is less helpful, consider changing to what you do
rather than your title ● Past Work Experience – LinkedIn will rank you higher
for keywords in your past job titles ● Summary – include keywords in your value driven,
benefits oriented summary. You have 2000 characters – use them!
![Page 33: Linked in Training Fall 2016](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030211/58a29bbe1a28ab36508b78d7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Other Optimizing Opportunities● Recommendations – provide bullets containing your
keywords for people who agree to recommend you ● Website section - use keywords ● Public Profile website address – Add keywords to the end
of your hyperlink address ● Groups – join groups with your keywords in the title,
you can join up to 50 groups ● Skills – add your keywords in the Sills & Exprtise section ● Interests – Very few people us this strategy; you can also
add names of experts you are interested in; you might be displayed in the results for searches on their names.

Successful Selling on LinkedIn● Identify prospects and then give them something of
value. ● Example:
● Hi, Dr. Smith, I read your profile here on LinkedIn, and I see you have a family dental practice in White Plains, NY. I have helped hundreds of dentists just like you triple their client base in a very short time by leveraging social media. I’d like to send you my free report “The Top 10 Social Media Strategies for Building Your Dental Practice.” There’s nothing to buy and no strings attached. Please let me know if I can send it to you. Thanks for your time.

Successful Selling on LinkedIn● As a next step, could offer 20 minute free

content. ● If you don’t have, that’s the place to start
![Page 59: Linked in Training Fall 2016](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030211/58a29bbe1a28ab36508b78d7/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Growing Your Network Strategically● Add current and past clients, reach out to current
and past colleagues, former classmates, other you meet in the community at networking events.
● The larger your network the greater your influence
![Page 60: Linked in Training Fall 2016](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030211/58a29bbe1a28ab36508b78d7/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Post LinkedIn Updates Regularly● One way in which a large network benefits you is if
you are posting LinkedIn status updates on a regular basis.
● Everyone you are connected to can see them on their home page.
● Demonstrate that you’re a valued resource and someone worth getting to know.
● Limited your updates to a couple a day ● Restrict updates to business topics – everything you
do and say on LinkedIn is branding you.
![Page 61: Linked in Training Fall 2016](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030211/58a29bbe1a28ab36508b78d7/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Guidelines for LinkedIn Updates● Share helpful information – Links to articles, case
studies on your website, upcoming event that will help people in your network.
● Stir people’s curiosity – provide something that makes people want to learn more “Read this case study to see how one company increased client loyalty by 20 percent.” with a link.
● Announce business events – use updates to alert others about large sales your company just made or upcoming events where you will have a booth.
