15. LinkedIn Profile UVP
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.

16. LinkedIn Profile UVP
Optimize Your Important SKILLS
The first word in your LinkedIn headline gets
the SEO results from the search algorithm.
Thus, it’s critical that you start your headline
with your most important SKILL.
Many members do not understand this, so if
you do it, you will get powerful SEO results.
It matters because if you do not come up high
in search results, then you will not get the
chance to convince someone to click through
to your profile.

17. 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
