When I created my LinkedIn profile in 2010, I started off reading LinkedIn profiles to know how professionals grew in their respective careers. I noticed that there were many professional profiles on LinkedIn that were incomplete. I realized some people did not know how to introduce themselves, how to sell their skills, and how to show off their accomplishments appropriately. And that was the point, I decided to help LinkedIn professionals improve their profiles and paint themselves impressive, unique, and skilled individuals.

I launched LinkedIn Profile Vamping Service in 2015 and helped clients erase all those points that presented them weaker and stupid.

Here’s what I noticed deeply while going through this journey.

As a LinkedIn Profile Specialist, I would like to bring LinkedIn profiles under 3 broad categories. I have grouped them around and made the categories.

  1. Weak/Incomplete LinkedIn Profiles
  2. All-Star LinkedIn Profiles
  3. Strongest/The Best LinkedIn Profile
  1. Weak LinkedIn Profiles

An incomplete LinkedIn profile has default title, no picture, no summary, only headings of employment history. It gives the impression that you are not much interested in presenting yourself before other professionals. These LinkedIners are not quite sure where to begin.

I always recommend them follow the helping box that appears above the profile and ask different questions with the options of ‘Add to profile’ and ‘Skip’ when you tap on edit profile. Follow that and answer them. It eases the burden and improves the LinkedIn profile remarkably.

  1. All-Star LinkedIn Profiles

“All-Star” profile on LinkedIn is not that difficult to create. It requires a few minutes to achieve. There are hundreds of thousands LinkedIn profiles that are all-stars. This can be achieved by including all relevant information of at least 3 skills, minimum 50 connections, 2 past employment positions, current position, education, industry and location. This will surely show that your profile is complete. But in reality, it is non-impressive that would discourage you in long run. It can’t achieve the real purpose of creating a profile on LinkedIn.

  1. Strongest LinkedIn Profiles

Strongest LinkedIn Profile is one that has All-Star along with impressive header, well-written summary, a balance of achievements under each designation, contact details, recommendations, endorsements and professional headshot. A correct order of information is also essential that most of the profilers pay no heed. This is the well-built LinkedIn profile.

Here are 3 major questions that are usually asked me during the discussions on powerful LinkedIn profiles on various forums:

Question #1: How to turn a weak LinkedIn profile into the Best LinkedIn profile?

Question #2: Can a LinkedIn professional create a successful LinkedIn profile that has highest visibility to the industry professionals?

Question #3: How does LinkedIn profile of a job-seeker get instant visibility to recruiters nationally and internationally?

This is common perception that LinkedIn is just like other social networks where there is no need to fill out all the boxes in profile, just to have an account is enough. But this doesn’t apply here!

The answer is strategies and tactics proven to help you achieve robust LinkedIn profile.

But how?

  • Upload a professional photograph with nice smile and decent background. No selfie style is recommended. Select the one that clearly shows you an energetic personality.
  • Work on your headline. It’s your professional identity and a short introduction of your powerful role in the industry.
  • Get Customized URL. It’s a piece of cake.
  • Join the right groups on LinkedIn. Choose the ones based on your industry, profession, number of members and interests. Start off with new interesting discussions and opine the already on.
  • Increase your connection list by at least 500. LinkedIn helps to advance career if you have huge connections with people in your industry. Connect with the best in the industry and it will certainly grow you.

Once, your LinkedIn profile stands out, more views are guaranteed, more job opportunities would knock your door, more connections would be developed and you will be the most visible in the industry.

Yes! You can increase your visibility on LinkedIn by 200%.
