THE AVERAGE SALARY OF LINKEDIN USERS IS $112,754
In this post we’re going to explore 6 quick and easy ways to make your LinkedIn profile shine.
Creating a good LinkedIn profile is the digital equivalent of putting your best foot forward, because remember: You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
1. Use A Quality Profile Picture
When you create your LinkedIn profile, include an image that is both clear, and professional.
2. Use The Summary Space To Its Maximum Potential
With LinkedIn, you have the ability to create a summary that best describes yourself, and your professional experience.
The best use of this space is to write between three and five short paragraphs detailing your interests, skills, qualifications, and goals.
3. Showcase Your Achievements
The key here is to spend some time creating a comprehensive description of your experience, including:
Educational background
Skills and endorsements
Previous accomplishments and interests
4. Keep It Fresh
Make sure to keep your LinkedIn profile updated at all times, as you never know who’ll be viewing it and when (or why for that matter).
Any change to your professional experience should immediately be updated on your profile.
5. Keep It Visually Appealing
Your profile should be clean, and a pleasure to scan or read through.
6. Create A Custom URL For Branding Purposes
Last but not least, create a custom URL for your profile, for example: linkedin.com/yourname
So there you have it…
