Grab Attention Of Your Target - 5 Steps
 What is Target
 HR (Jobs/Internships)
 Customer/Leads
 Fans/Followers
 Angel/VC
 Do you know your GOAL or why do you need LinkedIn?
 Find out your purpose. Let’s check few methods first.
Step 1 - Target Your Target
 What is Target – Let’s find out!
 Example: Business Owners
 Click People / All Filters
 Use various filters to reach desired audience
 Send Personalized Invite to 2nd & 3rd level Connection
 They may be followers
 Know their Psychology
 Activities
 Posts
 Comments
 Make a List of at least 50 people
(Heading/Common or Related
Interest)
 Psychology helps in Attention
 Remember: Knowing who your customers are is great, but knowing how they
behave is even better!
Step 2 - Know Your Target More
 Check their Interests by going to their profile (Scroll down)
 Smart Tip: Groups allow you to communicate with a person you are not directly
connected. Being members of the same group allows you to send a message to that
person. That's the power of LinkedIn Groups ;)
Step 3 - Deep Research Your Target
 Content packed with your products/services but don’t be “Saleuuu”
 Your goal is to create the content which "sells without selling“
 Discuss example of Digital Marketing Training pitch to HR (Ria – Star Performer)
 Remember: Content is the King but ENGAGEMENT is the Queen and the lady rules
the house!
 Better Engagement comes from Quality Content + Your Visibility
Step 4 – Time To Serve Your Target
Engagement Attention
 Add value, Build rapport & Trust
 Real Meetings (Offline)
 5 Steps can bring you clients but do you have patience & consistency to achieve?
Step 5 – Talk To Your Target
Comments/
Likes
Messages/
Talks
 LinkedIn Approx. 50 Crores Users
 1% Write Content
 Effective Content – Less than 1% (The opportunity)
 Way No. 1 (First Impression, Last Impression)
 Make people Curious
 Put open statements
 Spend quality time to write first 2 lines of post
 How we got first 100 leads? See More
 How can you impress your Boss? See More
Ways To Create EFFECTIVE Content
Way No. 2 (Quality but experiment with Quantity)
 Myth – Short Content length means more views
 Experiment & Find what works for you?
Way No. 3 (Personalize Your Content)
 “Human Effect” - Right Emojis , Fear, Anxious, Challenge
 Bring Smile, No hatred
 Don’t text but Converse
 Let me show you some examples now. Have a look sweetheart!
(Show how to write for e4s – Story/Conversations etc.)
 The content which makes your reader accept your experiences as his/her own,
is the ultimate goal of EFFECTIVE writing
Way No. 4 (No Show-off of your Vocab)
 Keep it simple
 What if my content has to have tough words
 Give readers an idea/explanation of each word – make him/her understand
Way No. 5 (Use of Right Pronoun – Give Readers More Importance)
 Use YOU instead of I and WE to make your readers feel important. That's the key!
 Some examples for you
 We love this movie
 I know, you love this movie. Don’t you?
 Tell me more examples now
Way No. 6 (Give reasons to Engage)
 Include CTA (Seek answers, Opinions etc.)
 Why should I encourage them to give their views?
Power Of #
 What is Hashtag
 Hashtags are labels to identify a particular topic of content
 Content boosting technique
 Blue #
 Blue # Clickable for Posts
 “Articles & profiles #” are not blue, Not clickable
How To Use #
 Along the Content (Don’t Insert words)
 Relevant
 Example: Network and Networking are 2 different
 Don’t # same word 2 times
 After the Content
 Which one is best way?
 How many # should we use?
Which #
 Popular #
 Create Catchy #
 Must be NEW
 Easy to remember & Short (If Possible)
 What we suggest you on creation of #
Search For/With #
 Example: #entrepreneur
 What If I don’t use # in search
 All searches
 Trick - If you use a # anywhere in your profile's headline, summary or any other
section, your profile also appears in # results on applying filter 'People‘
What Else About #
 Is # Case Sensitive
 Which one is correct #DigitalMarketing or #Digital_Marketing or #digitalmarketing
 How to Follow/Unfollow/Manage #
Can I Speak To Mr. X?
 LinkedIn means Networking with X
 Rule 1 - Speak to 1 New X daily to remove your anxiety first
 Rule 2 – Respect/ Make X feel important
 Use his/her name (Hi Kamya, how are you?)
 Use Mr./Ms./Sir/Madam if required
 No mistake in spelling + Take care of other precautions/etiquette
Stranger Known
 Rule 3 - Why did you connect to X
 Your profile is interesting. May you please guide me on my LinkedIn profile too?
 I found your recent post useful. May I be in your network to continue that learning?
 I was intrigued by your profile. May we stay connected?
 Rule 4 - Polite, not Pushy. Wait for response
 Follow up after few days and ask to connect
 If not interested, leave
 Rule 5 - Observe & Analyze their messages/comments
 Be humble/formal in the beginning for sure. Don’t be TOO formal
 These can be trivial observations but they MATTER!
 Which one is correct way?
 "I want to know about your work.“
 "Would you like to tell about your work?“
 Smart Tip: No need to be some English expert for being humble. Just observe &
analyze how others are doing it. You'll learn much more!
 Rule 6 - Keep Conversation Open at Your End
 How?
 End your response with a question to keep the conversation open
 Let’s discuss some examples
 Rule 7 - Add Value before any Favor
 "Hi Sophia, How are you? I liked your last post. Thought to appreciate your insights through a message.
BTW, I'm looking for a job as graphic designer. Do you have any references?“
 "Hi Sophia, How are you? I like your content. Thought to appreciate your insights personally. You're
doing great! I'm associated with xyz.com. We provide SEO tools to SMEs. We offer a trial package of
tools for 1 week. Would you like to give it a try?“
 "Hi Sophia, How are you? I liked your last post. Thought to appreciate your insights through a message.
I saw your profile. I liked the way you have maintained it. May I give you a suggestion? I've read in
many articles that a background image is must in LinkedIn profile. I'd suggest you to have one too. If
you'd like I can design one for you. As I'm a graphic designer, I'd love to do it. Lemme know if you want
to. And please be assured that it'll be free of cost. Just can't resist my designing genie, lol"
 "Hi Sophia, How are you? I like your content. Thought to appreciate your insights personally. You're
doing great! I can see that you're really passionate about content marketing. I'm also passionate about
same. I'd love to exchange insights about the same. I came across this article (article link) few days
back. They have mentioned about some useful SEO tools to boost content. I think you'll like it. Once
you read it, you can lemme know. We can have a discussion about the same. Nothing is better source
of learning than these kind of discussions. Looking forward to hear from you."
 Rule 8 - Apply on yourself
 We already discussed what liked you most when someone approaches. Same applied
to X when you approach
 Most important Rule
Decoding NICHE For Personal Branding
 Niche = Passion + Value
 We consult clients and share some tricks, what if we don’t share that value
 Passion can not always bring value to people UNLESS you are giving it a right
purpose
 How to transform your passion into your Niche
1. Figure out the possible relevance of your passion into people's lives
 Example: CAT Exam Time
Passion: To solve questions using various tricks
Value: Sharing tricks to crack CAT
2. Figure out the relevance of your passion into people's lives
 Example: CAT Exam Time
Passion: To solve questions using various tricks
Value: Sharing tricks to crack CAT
3. Bring Innovation in approach
 Medium - Podcast, Any value which can become your USP as well
4. Analyze the Outcome
 Niche doesn't depend on age or any profession or any industry type
 Discover that unique contribution which you're capable of making!
 Introspect your daily activities, your habits, you'll surely find something that you're
doing passionately, pick that thing & start working on it.
 Let’s do an Experiment to find your Passion
 Step 1: Do you like Counselling someone on career?
 If Yes,
 Step 2: Counsel anyone and ask yourself if you liked it?
 If No, Go Back to Step 1 and change the interest
 If Yes for step 2,
 Step 3: Evaluate yourself and find a good score for you
 If No for step 2, either try again to counsel or go back to step 1 and change the interest
 If Yes for step 3,
 Step 4: Can you do it 24*7 without much asking for money?
 If No for step 3, try to polish your skills or get some training and evaluate again
 If Yes for step 4, you got your passion (Counselling)
 Activity - Group of 4 (Find your Passion & Niche)
