 Syndicated Riches is one of the DataPlex Technologies Family of Websites


                          http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #1: Lack of Professional Photo

                  If you want to be perceived as a
                  professional, you have to look
                  professional.

                  Make sure your profile photo
                  portrays the image you want to
                  convey to your audience.




              http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #2: Not Using Groups

 LinkedIn groups provide powerful networking
opportunities. Don’t be a wallflower – get active!




                 http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #3: Self-Promotion in Groups

 Groups are an opportunity to make true connections.
  Avoid the blatant sales pitches. Build relationships.




                     http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #4: Lack of Recommendations


     Create built-in social proof for your talents
     by encouraging others to recommend you.




                    http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #5: Gushing Recomme ndations

                       Recommendations shouldn’t
                       just praise. They should give
                       specific information about
                       results and talents.

                       Don’t be shy to offer to help
                       write recommendations!




              http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #6: Profile Errors

           Put your best foot forward and
           have your profile professionally
           proofread.

           Also, don’t forget to coordinate
           your profile with your other social
           networking profiles!




        http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #7: No Links or Bad Links

 Include useful links for more information in your profile.
Links give people an opportunity to learn more about you.




                      http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #8: Weak Summary

   Many people will only read your
   summary before they move on.




           Make it count.



            http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #9: Not Using Answers

Showcase your expertise with LinkedIn’s Answers feature.




                     http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #10: No Custom URL

  It only takes a moment to customize
    your LinkedIn URL - so do it NOW!
