LinkedIn Profile Nuances
Include Skills in your positions and headline
Never use the word “Searching” Or “Opportunity” in your
headline. Searching is your problem, you want to be their
solution.
You must focus your skills on a certain company, industry, or
particular level of profession. Zeroing in on an audience helps
them say yes to you when the fit is there!
Avoid ALL of the 2018 top ten overused buzzwords on LinkedIn
used last year
Specialize, Experienced, Skilled, Leadership,
Passionate, Expert, Motivated, Creative,
Strategic, Focused
14. 14
Optimize Your Important SKILLS
The first word in your headline gets the SEO results from
LinkedIn’s search algorithm.
Thus, it’s critical that you start your headline with your
most important SKILL.
Many members don’t understand this, so if you do it, you
will get powerful SEO results.
It matters because if you don’t come up high in search
results, then you won’t get the chance to convince
someone to click through to your profile.

Most people have a headline that states their position
It doesn’t tell people why they should connect with you
It doesn't tell them how you add value
It doesn't tell them how you can solve their problem
You have to set YOURSELF apart
You need to show that YOU are the expert
Best Practice - Headline
