A lot of people come to us for help, because they just can’t ‘figure out’ Linkedin. 🤷🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

It’s not just a digital book of people’s CVs. It’s a hub of conversation, inspiration… and a whole lot of wisdom, y’all. 👏

There’s a bunch of seasoned professionals with EXTENSIVE careers sharing their hard-earned knowledge, and  there’s also a ton of young entrepreneurs showing you what it’s like to build a business from the ground up.

It’s a thriving social network (no Jesse Eisenberg) and the chances are you already have a profile. 👀

Be honest, did you start a LinkedIn page, add your degree as your headline and then forget about it completely? 🤨 (Despite the constant barrage of emails LinkedIn graces you with…)

It’s not too late to turn it around, honey! With the help of this simple guide – your page is gonna go from drab to FAB.✨

Picture

Make sure it’s a shoulders up picture of your face. No one is trying to squint to figure out if it’s really you! If you fancy it, get on canva and add yourself a nice, brightly coloured background that makes you stand out. 😎

Banner

Your banner can be really simple. Literally a block colour (with your company logo if you have one!) Just make sure you have a banner, okay? It elevates the whole look.

Headline

This is the bit that goes under your name. In a sentence, describe who you help and how you help them. Try and make it eye-catching, but direct and don’t be scared to use emojis if that’s your thing!

Bio

If your headline was a sprinkle of info about you, your bio is going to really hook the people in. 🙌 It’s an opportunity for them to get to know you! This is the bit that goes in the ‘about’ section of your page. Write about your career, what you’re passionate about, give people a window into what you’re all about. It should be fun to read and it doesn’t need to be too formal (‘cause that’s usually not fun to read… 💅) Make good use of spacing, a big wall of text is not the vibe!

Of course, you can add your education and work experience, but that’s all pretty straightforward. 😉 Plus, the stuff above is what people REALLY look at.

Go out there and pimp your profile like it’s a car on MTV in 2004. 🕶️

It’s your time to shine. 🪩
