How To Instantly Increase Your Visibility On LinkedIn
By 877% With This One Simple Tactic
(...that takes only minutes to do!)
Thanks for joining me for today's LinkedIn Quick-Tip.
Your time is valuable. And, I've committed to you that you can learn this LinkedIn Quick-Tip in under 7 minutes.
And...I personally believe that you can apply it in even shorter time than that!
So...times a tickin'. Let's get started. ;-)
As you may recall (from either my Special Report that you've already read or from my Live Webinar Workshop that you've already attended), my 3-Step Success Sequence for people in our industry to use LinkedIn to get massive results can be conveyed by the following:
Yes...
I have an entire Special Report called, "3 Top Secret Tweaks You Can Instantly Make To Your LinkedIn Profile That'll Get You Found On Google".
Yes...
I have an entire 90-Minute Live Webinar Workshop that digs even deeper into detail on how to BE FOUND using my proprietary LinkedIn Optimization (LIO) techniques.
And...all of this is at NO CHARGE to you.
So, if you haven't gotten access to either one of them yet, please contact Concierge@LeveragingLinked.In and we'll be happy to hook you up.
Because we've already addressed the BE FOUND aspect of my 3-Step Success Sequence in the Special Report and the Webinar Workshop...
Today, I'm going to focus on helping you to BE HEARD.
Is it just me…
Or have you also noticed that the Speaker, Author, & Coaching space is quickly becoming like Monday Morning Rush Hour Traffic in any major city?
Meaning, that it's becoming more & more congested, jam-packed, and harder to make it to your destination.
Meaning, that it's becoming harder & harder to BE HEARD by your Ideal Audience because your competition (or perceived competition) is confusing the marketplace as to the best solution for them.
And, this is because you're now competing with all the other "stuff" that your competition is placing onto Social Media and the Internet in general.
Well, today...that stops! Because, today, I'm going to teach you how to BE HEARD over 8X TIMES LOUDER than your competition.
And what I'm referring to is that after you apply today's LinkedIn Quick-Tip, you'll be using "Content Marketing" much more effectively.
Yes...when you effectively use "Content Marketing" on LinkedIn, you'll be perceived as the Authority in your Industry, Community, or Niche.
Because, you'll BE HEARD louder and more frequently than the others.
I typically teach my clients that there are (at least) 3 places you can place content to BE HEARD on LinkedIn:
1. Updates
2. Posts
3. Groups
And today, we're going to focus on just one - UPDATES.
If you'll look at the image to your right, you'll see a screenshot of my LinkedIn Feed (similar to a Facebook Wall). This is what I see when I log into LinkedIn.
It's also the main place where I see the Updates of people in my LinkedIn Network. And, vice-versa. It's the main place where people in my LinkedIn Network see the Updates that I post.
First, you'll see Jane Moughton's Update. This is what shows up when you re-purpose your own blog post (or share someone else's). As you can see, a small image shows up on the left side of the Update. Then, a title and a brief "snippet" of the blog itself shows up on the right.
Next, you'll see Cindia Carrere's Update. This is what shows up when LinkedIn notifies your network that you wrote a Post and published it through LinkedIn Publishing. And, please let me point out that this is what it looks like when you do NOT use the correct image size for effectiveness.
Yep...can you see all the open white space to the left & right side of Cindia's picture associated with her Update?
Doesn't look good, does it?
In fact, I'll go as far as saying that it's a waste of good "Real Estate". :-(
Next, you'll see an Update from my good friend Alexandra. What do you notice that is DIFFERENT between Jane and Cindia's Updates...and then Alexandra's?
(Tick Tock, Tick Tock)
Exactly! It's the fact that Alexandra's Update displays a HUGE IMAGE that spans the entire LinkedIn Feed from left to right.
And...
By having a great big image stare at me in the face, I'm more likely to at least glance at it, don't you think?
Makes sense, right?
So, my main point of this LinkedIn Quick-Tip is that if you take the time to MANUALLY upload IMAGES as Updates...they too will show up in your network's LinkedIn Feed as big as Alexandra's Update image showed up in mine. And, that'll help you BE HEARD much louder than the "others".
And there you have it...
When you MANUALLY upload images as Updates you, too, will be over 8X TIMES as visible as compared to most of the other Updates in your LinkedIn Network's Feeds. And, the result is that when you're seen more frequently...you'll be more favorable in the eyes of your Ideal Audience.
Now, you may be thinking to yourself right now, "Why did TR capitalize the word MANUALLY twice in the last 2-3 paragraphs?"
Well, here's the answer:
I wanted to draw attention to the fact that there are software solutions such as Hootsuite, Social Oomph, and others that will help you automate your posts on Social Media...including LinkedIn.
However (as of the time I'm writing this) LinkedIn does not allow these 3rd Party automated posting solutions to post anything more than SMALL IMAGES. So, the only way to increase your visibility by 877%+ is to manually create your Updates.
Now, you may be thinking to yourself right now, "How did TR come up with that 877% number ?"
Well, here's the answer:
If you look at the image to your left, you'll see that I can fit at least 8 of the standard images used when someone uses the Update Feature to highlight their own blog (or to share a blog).
And, this is the same image size that shows for people who create Posts using LinkedIn Publishing.
So, that's how I came up with the fact that YOU can increase your visibility by 877% by following my LinkedIn Quick-Tip.
In closing, by now (since you've already read my Special Reports and attended my Webinar Workshops) I think of myself as a friend of yours. And, how good a friend would I be if I didn't hook you up with ONE MORE THING, right?
(Wink, Wink)
So, here it is. When you click on the BIG RED BUTTON below, you'll instantly be hooked up with a free Image Template that is the exact size of Alexandra's image from the example above.
This way, you can open in up in any graphics editing program (such as Photoshop, etc.) and already have an image that is optimally sized for effective viewing in someone's LinkedIn Feed.
Pretty cool, huh?
Your Friend,
TR Garland
