Is your LinkedIn profile being viewed?
Are You a LinkedIn Big Influencer?
Do You want to be?
More importantly is your LinkedIn profile being viewed by those Friends, Business Associates and Potential Clients?
While being viewed is very important, it is even more important that the right persons view your profile and that when they do that your profile is ready.
For your profile to be ready it should provide just enough information to show that you are a professional and an expert in your area of choice.
If you are a Home Inspector then you would want to be viewed and seen by Realtor Professionals who you are already connected on LinkedIn with but also by Realtors who you are not yet connected with.
As we all know referrals are the greatest compliment that anyone can give us as Business Professionals so have your LinkedIn profile in great shape at all times for potential clients that Friends and Referral Partners have referred to you will see that you are in the top of your industry.
Share your Website and Social Media pages as well so that your referrals will be able to view the services that you provide but will also connect with you on a more personal level creating trust and recognition when meeting face to face.
Prior to an appointment and/or meeting face to face with a potential client I like to send an email with my website in the signature block that can be easily visited and I have my Social Media sites there as well as what I am passionate about.
Your website, LinkedIn page and other sites should not only show your professional side but also your personal side so that referrals can connect and identify with you.
Many of you already know that I am Veteran, a Detroit Tigers baseball fan and love to fish, spend time with my Family, Community & Church.
Thank you Friends for commenting below with your thoughts about getting the right profile views to you LinkedIn profile and/or anything else that you believe would be helpful as I strive to learn something new every day.
Thank you Friends for sharing & caring,
Tony Lee Hamilton
since I finished college, I created a LinkedIn profile, but in the meantime, I got a job and I didn’t post anything new on it because I didn’t need another job, but I heard from friends that they managed to find a job via LinkedIn and I wondered how this the platform works, how other people on it recognize me and offer me lucrative jobs. Thanks for this informative text.
I have to say that I need to step up with my Linkedin game as we all know that many potential employers can come and visit but I always hold back because of the privacy reason that I cherish. I wish I am a big influencers but a few people each month actually do come and view my profile. You are right, it is all about referrals and networking in business. I will pay more attention to my linkedin profile.
I still shy away from LinkedIn as it still feels to me like a platform for corporate professionals to network. I do see my niche having people showcasing their profile but those are the real professionals while I’m into affiliate marketing. But I do recognise the potential there, so perhaps someday, I might try it.
I am not a user of the Linkedin platform. Can it make a profit? It’s a good thing you instructed us in her possibilities.I personally would not mix profession and privacy on the same platform. Maybe some see it as a source of income, but I think that then everything loses its meaning.
Thank you Tony.
Hey Tony-Lee; Big influence, speaking about “my profile being viewed” how many views per week/month would you regard as an acceptable amount of views per week/month on Linked In? I always believe the views received per week/month are an essential part of the business growth as it shows that people are interested in what one’s profile is saying.

Honestly with this review i got to learn and know the importance of getting my LinkedIn profile viewed by others, because its a key media to job relation and business worldwide. With a platform like LinkedIn, you can get your name in the front line of millions of individuals. Thanks for putting this through.
Thank you so much for sharing us an curiously and fabulous article. The vital substance of this article is LinkedIn Huge Influencer. It is really honorable simply have illustrated this theme so well in your article. I have learned a parcel by perusing your article and picked up a parcel of cognition around the LinkedIn profile. Of the focuses specified in your article, I like supportive proposals. I learned a parcel from your article such as LinkedIn that acts as a effective influencer that was already unknown. You have perfectly clarified how LinkedIn works as a capable influencer for which I would like to share the subject of your article in my Facebook gather in case you permit me.
I like the lengths you go to, to connect with your potential clients or your refferals. The fact that you reveal all your sides , professional and personal make it easy for the prospective client to work with you.
I am currently on LinkedIn, I should however say I have not maximized the profile for business. Thank you for the reminder.
Again, your article provides a fresh topic and interesting insights. I have used linkedln for several years, but have never used it in its full potential. The article has provided good information on how to optimize linkedln. Business referral from linkedln could hopefully help expand my online business. I will try to see how to optimize the use of my linkedln to expand my business. Thanks for the article and great work!
Going into online business can really annoying and frustrating if you don’t have the right kind of mindsets you need to see it through, most people who thinks they are failures are not m, what they seize to understand is the fact that it takes a while before online business pays off, so
Setting up a profession profile on LinkedIn is very important if one is serious for business. You can’t have an incomplete profile and you expect potential clients or colleague to contact you. Apart from Facebook, Twitter and other social media, I think LinkedIn is another place to connect with people and build traffic. Thanks for the insight.
Another big online business platform should be Linkedin and really the platforms has really grown and one can see that there are a lot of people there who are willing to help a person grow. I hope that maybe someday I would be able to also become a big time influencer on the platform myself. This post is a good one.
Hi there! Thank you for sharing this. I remember having an account in LinkedIn and being notified of being connected to few of my associates few years ago but I actually forget about it. One thing, I do not know for certain how it works and how will it help me specifically in building up my profession and connections. If you could give a more detailed article on how LinkedIn actually works, it would be great.
I am a member of LinkedIn and started a trial blog there. Since I am focused on building my website and promoting it using other Social Media outlets, I am reserving diving in toe LInkedIn more deeply once my website starts to earn a reasonable repeatable income.
Do you feel this is a reasonable strategy Tony?
I will follow your advice and modify my signature file to include my website IRL.
Thanks for these ideas.

LinkedIn is indeed a great exposure platform for foreign markets. A lot of us do not pay a lot of information and time to the fact that we need to set up our LinkedIn account profile to the very best that is reasonable enough to get us to the very best out there. What you shared here is really great to see and I value it all.

This is a well written article. It is very informative for people who may not be too familiar with linkedin. LinkedIn influencers who are lacking in the area of getting views for their profile and they really need their profile being viewed by Friends, Business Associates and Potential Clients to grow. This article is certain to help them achieve this aim and become professional influencers. It’s nice to know that LinkedIn has so many benefits that people may not know about. I appreciate you sharing this article.
Linkedin is a site I am a member of but not really done much to develop it. I must get some work done on the site. Wealthy Affiliate is a great programme and I am sure Linked in would be a great place to promote your business no matter what niche you work in I am a dog trainer and need to start getting in front of relevant people on linkedin
LinkedIn is indeed a good exposure platform for foreign markets. It seems that few people use it in Taiwan. However, my colleagues use it. I think it still has certain exposure benefits for LinkedIn. If you are running an international business, it is definitely indispensable. However, it must take a lot of time and energy to operate any platform
I like to see really helpful information and this is one that I really like so much. it’s very good that you shared it and enlightened us to this extent, many times, we don’t get to now the right ways to approach issues, that is why they always seem like impossible this information will be very helpful. Cheers
Thank you so much for sharing this here. I value the information you shared here concerning this LinkedIn and for the fact that I am just getting to know all these, it can not be more better than what you have shared here. Well I think I can share this more and more with my friends so we can all be acquainted with the rudiments of this. Thanks
Thank you for pointing this one out Tony. Yes Linked in is for professionals, that we all should be. It is important to keep your linked in profile updated and representing your professional life. I am guilty of not updating my Linked In. I last updated early this year before joining Wealthy Affiliate. I am going to do this right away and update all the details about my presence at Wealthy Affiliate. I think this is really important.
Thanks for making this amazing information known to everyone, it’s very good that you shared it and enlightened us to this extent, many times, we don’t get to now the right ways to approach issues, that is why they always seem like impossible this information will be very helpful, it’s thoughtful of you to share.
I’ve heard of linked in and influencer marketing and I believe linked in and other platforms are great for clients and others to take a look at to see what the person is all about and that alone can lead to sales and generate tons of revenue even earning commissions as a influence marketer
You wrote a brief post her about the importance of Linkedin. I used to have this, but I couldn’t make any use of it. Maybe now that I have a website and an online business, Linkedin could help. It sounds like you can put quite a variety of things into your Linkedin account, including social media and your website. It can help pull other things together in a productive way.
Hello there Tony, I really enjoyed reading your article ‘Is Your LinkedIn Profile Being Viewed – Are You A LinkedIn Big Influencer’. I think that if you can find the purpose for every social media platform, you can get a lot out of it. It’s nice to know that LinkedIn has so many benefits that people may not know about. I appreciate you sharing this article
Hi Tony, I’m a long-time user of LinkedIn, and I do find it quite useful because job recruiters would approach me that way. So far, I have not made my LinkedIn page professional looking (not even a picture unfortunately!), but I suppose the recruiters doesn’t really care much about that!
I love the tips that you have given on this page, and if you would publish a step-by-step tutorial on how to set up a professional LinkedIn profile perhaps by using your own profile as the example, I would be most interested. I’ll be back soon, I hope!
Linkedin is one of the most utilized corporate web-based media website nonetheless, it has been sadly laggy for me since I don’t utilize the stage. Nonetheless, seeing something like this here is basically stunning and I truly welcome all you have shared here. Much appreciated such a great amount for sharing this post here. I surmise I will search for approaches to guarantee I can turn into an influencer in there as well
When i decided to start up online digital marketing, i never realized it would entail some really massive setup. the interesting is that these setups are for a while. i am new to linked in as i am just building my profile there i would need more help to get established
I have been using LinkedIn since I completed college but I’m not much into it because I don’t like sharing more about myself, and I don’t use it to apply for jobs. Until it has been growing so rapidly. I am glad to read from your post that it “should not only show your professional side but also your personal side so that referrals can connect and identify with you” because I have always stayed away from it because it’s such a serious platform. Maybe it’s about time to re-analyze my profile and fix it so that I can connect more with people. Thank you for your tips, Tony. Cheers, A
I have a LinkedIn profile for my “normal” work stuff, but never considered using it for my online side gig stuff to be honest.
I think you’re right about making sure your profile is ready and all your information is there and easy to reach, such as the bottom of an email. And definitely about trust being a factor.
I think once I get more content and systems going I’ll add to my normal LinkedIn profile, rather than create a different one for this purpose. So far with the other social media platforms I’ve kept everything separate but will eventually merge it into one and share my stuff on my personal profiles.
Thank you for another well presented article!
Tony
Hello there!
Thats an amazing and very helpful article. I believe quite well there are LinkedIn influencers who are lacking in the area of getting views for their profile and they really need their profile being viewed by Friends, Business Associates and Potential Clients to grow. This aricle is certain to help them achieve this aim and become professional influencers.
Thanks for that awesome
Wow this is a great article. I have been a member on linkedin for some time now. My profile is well laid out and refreshed from time to time. I get notices, very often that 20 people viewed my profile, or that different people would like to link with me. My issue is that they don’t operate in my field of interest and most of the correspondence is from people I already know, After reading this, I think I will go back over my content to improve its quality so I can benefit from being on the platform

Every social media has it’s purpose and once you understand that, you can use it to your advantage. LinkedIn specifically is for marketing yourself on a worklevel and making relevant connections.
So if you make a simple and professional profile that shows who you are and what you have to offer that should already be a good start.
Hello Tony, creating a good environment good for your business and for me I really love LinkedIn which have been really good at it. . It was so eye-opening that Linkedin can be even more than that. A real social media platform that gets your reputation going and enables you to network with like-minded people. Thank you and I will have to check this out further in more detail
This is a good post because another way to stamp your authority and that if your business in the online world or on the online space is to make sure that your business is going places and this is the same thing with LinkedIn because it is a big social media platform just like you have said and it can help to take a person’s business to places.
I am really really bad with LinkedIn! I really need to have a full course about it to try to avoid that feeling of intolerance that I feel for every social media until I fully understand them. It is a very bad situation – I’ve read that marketers spend on LinkedIn something about six hours a day on it and this makes a large part of their businesses.
Social media is a very big world now and it’s even gaining weight in people’s mind to the extent that some people are now referred to as influencers based on their activeness and participation online. LinkedIn is a good place to do business and your article has been helpful as to how to do it.
Hi Tony,
wow, that way mind-blowing. Reading your post was like “wait…whaaaat???” and I had to read it twice. Not because your writing is not well, but I had to process what I was reading. Linkedin was always something like a bazaar for me…job seekers and headhunters unite on a platform to find what they are looking for. It was so eye-opening that Linkedin can be even more than that. A real social media platform that gets your reputation going and enables you to network with like-minded people. Thank you and I will have to check this out further in more detail.
All the best!
Joe
Many people do not actually know that LinkedIn is actually very big and can constitute a lot towards determining how legit and very professional one is. Actually, I have seen many different companies that have actually being against me going without giving them the LinkedIn profile. So, I must say that what you have shared here is exceptional and I like it alot, thanks
Thank you for such an interesting post about LinkedIn. I only joined them about three months ago, and hardly ever do go to the site, but you have brought it to my attention that it is something that I should be doing on a far more regular basis. I regarded it more as a platform for professionals and people that are looking for a new job, rather than networking. But I am now looking at LinkedIn in a new light.
I have a LinkedIn page, but boy it has been years since I have done anything with it. It certainly might be worth looking into again. Especially since other social networks have decided to be playgrounds for hate and disaster. I have never really thought about using it from a business aspect with what I am doing now.
Thank you for bringing LinkedIn back into the light and encouraging folks to revisit the premise of using it.
Hi Tony, thanks for raising an interesting topic. I wonder, when you have sort of hopped several jobs and are finally venturing into a totally different line of work how best do you update your profile? Will you still maintain old connections and do they still remain significant with respect to your new expertise? Is it automatic that you become visible to people linked to your new business business or you have to make a deliberate effort to connect with them. Thanks Tony.
I have a linkedin account but I am realizing I have been underutilizing it because I never posted my personal stories or posts rather I kept on promoting some multi level marketing companies and many other online businesses I was putting my hands on but from today onwards I will be posting my personal life experiences and business experience thanks
Hello Tony! I 100% agree with you that Linked In is very important for everyone as it is a platform where professionals tend to utilize when they would like to get any insights on any particular individuals. I am one that really take Linked In very seriously, and do my best to make my profile as original as possible. I also agree on your point on being more ‘personal’, as this really do help people understand us better not as another work partner but more of a human. I also find that Linked In is a good social media tool to help others know better about ourselves, especially for professional reasons (Facebook and Instagram is not very ideal for professional purposes). Your article helped me in brainstorming about more ways to get relevant views and for that im thankful for your article. Short but informative, I love it! Keep it up, Tony!
This article is quite interesting Tony. I have had a Linkedin account for ages but have never really bothered to utilise it for business. It is true what you said about trying to connect with our right audience through the use of LinkedIn. It is time I get back in there and tweak somethings to get my profile on a professional standard and target the right audience for me.
Thanks for sharing this great opportunity of enlarging my coast.
Cheers…
thanks for your review. I just use linkedin for job hunting I have been thinking how to include my website. So I am still thinking of techy girl my niche. I get people visiting my profile but it’s mainly recruiters and if I have applied for a position in a company. Though you have a point.
I have a Linkedln account but I do not really pay attention to it because I don’t really see the potential help It can generate to grow my online presence.Your explanation opened my mind to great possibilities in using this platform. I never knew that This can augment the views of my website. Your great post inspired me.
Hello Tony, It is good to see your review on Linkedin Profile Views. Linkedin is a very powerful social media that very few people know its full potential. I actually know that most powerful companies check out one’s profile first before considering anything for one and also, it can really help to sell and build the right confidence in the traffic and leads that they a re dealing with an authoritative person in the field.
Thanks here
What would you recommend for optimizing your Linkedin profile to be viewed more? I always had the tendency to have the profile but never really put much effort into making it visible and never reaped any benefits. I know this is specific to the industry field you’re in, but perhaps you could give some general guidelines to get started?
I have checked my LinkedIn profile and it does appear in many search results by recruiters. Personally, I only use LinkedIn for hunting job vacancies, but I can see that many people start to use it as personal branding tool. I think I will be interested to learn how to increase view in LinkedIn. Do you have some suggestions? Thanks

Your articles are always very informative. I do have a LinkedIn profile but I have to admit that it isn’t used all that often. If I am searching for a job, I tend to use it, otherwise it is dormant. However, after reading your article, I will definitely make more use out of it. Thank you.
Hi Tony,
I have a LinkedIn account since 2011 and I update my information there regularly. I do get viewed and my profile makes search appearance as well. Therefore, I got some messages from companies offering me a job.
Right now I am a stay-home-mom but I work as an online tutor. I like the flexibility of working from home. The recent message I got on LinkedIn was from a product manager who wants to get my take on the trends towards online tutoring in the US and was hoping we could connect. She said my profile came up on her search for professionals in the e-learning industry.
What I like from LinkedIn is not only we get notify for job opportunities, we can also get free classes or we can even buy and get certifications for classes we like. I just got a certification in a class called Writing with Impact. I like that class! Once we finished taking a class and get a certification, it will appear on our profile. 🙂
I hope I can utilize LinkedIn better in the future. Thank you for the insights you shared in your post.

I always learn lots from your post and keeping up with Social Media Platforms can become a full time job. As a result I have stopped posting on my linkedin Page but after reading this I think that it is probably time for me to review my social media patterns. I must admit I do wonder whether using one or two platforms more often is better than using them all less often. What would you recommend?
Thank you
Hi Tony. I’ve had a Linkedin profile for many years in my professional capacity related to my day job. Other than a connection I made which led to an invitation to speak as a specialist on a panel, mostly what I have got through LInkedin has been solicitations from vendors trying to connect with me and trying to get business as in my day-job I am responsible for a sizable budget of building maintenance services. As we have a very rigorous procurement process that involves a completely arm’s length relationship with vendors, the connections I have got through Linkedin have probably been little or no use to them at all. I made contact with some old friends I haven’t heard from in years who managed to track me down on LInkedin but other than that I have not really tried to use Linkedin to my advantage. It seems to me that if you present yourself factually and without hype you will gain credibility. and you should find that people approach you. Best regards, Andy
I have had a Linked In profile for years, but I haven’t updated it in years either. Thanks for the reminder to use Linkedin to the best of the my purposes. I think my profile still says I am a Chamber Director which I haven’t been since 2014! Linkedin can be very beneficial to me because people may be looking for my skills as a blogger. I will be updating it today!
Linkedin profile is a bit more than I have been considering making ads for people and people that have been considering making ads for the betterment of the best.
Chisel is a very good friend but I have to go to the gym tomorrow and get the rest of the best night out of my work routine before the weekend starts again.
A really good article. I learned the importance of getting my linked in profile viewed by others. You awaken my brain. Your tips of making linked in profile get viewed are absolutely true. I love trying them.because linked in is a key media to build business and job relationships worldwide.
Agreed, connecting via Linkedin professionally and personally is key to establishing relationships with those that are important to you. Thank you for pointing out the importance of networking and establishing relationships when it comes to business/professional endeavors. Linkedin is a good platform and you correctly stated the importance of making sure your profile is getting in front of the right people and that they are seeing relevant information about you. Thank you for this insightful article.
Thanks so much for sharing this post on LinkedIn, it is so amazing to see the power of social media this platform being one of the. With social platforms like LinkedIn, you can get your name out there in front of millions of people. I have a LinkedIn account but have not used it for a long time because it seems as if I was not getting anywhere with it. After reading your post I guess it is time that I go back to LinkedIn and give it another try. Thank you so much for sharing.
I have an old private linkedin account, but I do not use it now. I have been thinking of creating a business account. Heard it is better to wait with adding Linkedin until you have a substantial growth. What do you think? Should you just jump in and start on linkedin or wait? Should you create an account for every website you have? I have learned it is better to focus on 1 or 2 social media before adding a new. What is your opinion on this?
Thank you for sharing this interesting post with us. I have heard that a lot of people become successful through this app. I guess it’s high time I downloaded the app and put in to use. This article has brought to my notice that LinkedIn is a nice platform with great businesses advantages.
God bless
Hello Tony
Thank you for sharing your interesting post with us How have you been using this app for a pretty long time, I heard a lot of people be successful on it, unfortunately, that wasn’t working for me I don’t know if there I don’t understand anyway thank you for sharing that with us.
Social media have played a huge role in helping businesses grow by sharing your business online for wider audience to see and for affiliate marketers the chances of potential customers. However LinkedIn is own great platform I have known for its business advantage but I just have an account of which I really can’t say if my profile is being checked. Being and influencer would be a great idea and I hope to grow my account to that level as I make plans to creating a new business
I used to be on Linkedin, but when I quit my day job I kind of quit it too. Can it benefit an online marketer as well? I really did not think so and so I just closed it up. I would love to know if this is a good avenue to take for an online marketer. I blog about beach travel destinations. So I guess I could kind of advertise my site thru my Linkedin account?
I just actually joined LinkedIn recently and haven’t done anything yet to promote my website or any products. I don’t even have my profile picture yet as I am not familiar with the mechanics of the said platform yet. Stopping by your article just gave me a complete idea how this works effectively with the information and tips you’ve specified particularly about the importance of showing not only my professional side but also my personal side which is truly, a key factor in building my visitors’ trust. Thank you and be safe!
I do not have enough information about Linkedin to use it effectively. I did all of the work necessary signing up but was unsuccessful with it. I suppose that I was looking for a quick turnaround in gaining follower and making connections that I failed. That is to be expected when you know little or nothing about a platform. I will probably revisit it in the future after I learn more about it.
Jerry
I absolutely agree that it’s far more important the right people are viewing one’s profile. The fact that a profile gets viewed inherently doesn’t really help you. Yeah, the referrals. It’s absolutely the greatest indication of people appreciating the business. Above all, trust and recognition I feel are the name of the game. Without one or the other, I think success is very, very hard if not impossible. And also, yeah, that social image is definitely important.
Cheers.
LinkedIn is one of the biggest social media platforms and it goes a very long way in helping people who are in the business sphere to get the best out of their businesses. It’s a very wonderful thing to be able to read this post and learn about how to use the platform to boost my business. It’s a good post you have here and also how to know those who have viewed ones profile.
Thank you for your post. I have my LinkedIn profile, but I never check my account detail, such as profile view and LinkedIn big influencer as you mentioned in the article.
I certainly like to collect view and influencer data. It is kind of you sharing so many ways to use the LinkedIn service. I agree with you that profile should be ready and provide as much information as possible so that potential customers and collaborators have a complete picture of my business. With this, they may go ahead to contact me with relevant inquiry and business corroboration.
I am definitely going to update my LinkedIn profile with full information.
Thank you so much for sharing us an interesting and excellent article. The principal content of this article is LinkedIn Big Influencer. It is truly admirable that you have demonstrated this topic so well in your article. I have learned a lot by reading your article and gained a lot of cognition about the LinkedIn profile. Of the points mentioned in your article, I like helpful recommendations. I learned a lot from your article such as LinkedIn that acts as a powerful influencer that was previously unknown.
You have beautifully explained how LinkedIn works as a powerful influencer for which I would like to share the subject of your article in my Facebook group if you allow me.
Hello Hamilton,
I agree with you. Having a well-made profile on LinkedIn goes a long way. I have personally seen many potential business owners approach me for a business deal because of the way I built the profile. And to be honest, I saw more frequent visits to my profile after filling out most of the necessary information and getting recommendations from people I worked with in the past. I am also going to try your strategy of signing emails with my website link and see how it works out for me. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for your post, to be honest, i haven’t really thought about using linked in as a means to drive traffic. I saw it as a professional tool. This is really enlightening. I have to work on my profile cause at the moment it’s not ready. Thanks for this Tony. It’s a good one
I’m not really into LinkedIn, I have an account with them but I’m not really active there but I’d love to be a big influencer there. I’m willing to learn how to get really noticed there and pull a lot of people to view my profile, it’s very true that LinkedIn is not as utilized as other social media forum.
Great post Tony. Linkedin is generally under-used when compared to most of the other social media platforms but really does have its place – especially in the B2B market. You can help get your profile noticed, and also interact with those who share similar interests/are in the same or similar field by optimising your settings and joining networks which is the best way to grow your network. I like that prior to an appointment you send your potential clients links to your social media accounts and websites – do you do this by adding an email footer with the links included to your emails?
Hey Tony, I haven’t ventured into LinkedIn yet as I am still trying to work within Pinterest, FB, Instagram, and Twitter. Do you think that moving towards LinkedIn would be more beneficial? How do you really get noticed in LinkedIn…? I guess there is a lot of learning I need to do to get started in that arena. Thanks for your advice.
LinkedIn is the platform that I know least about, even though I know there are huge benefits to developing a presence there. This is what led me to your article. It has confirmed to me that the site has way more to offer than just listing a few business credentials. It clearly has loads of potential for marketers like myself who want to extend their reach and influence. This platform shouldn’t be overlooked that’s for sure. This has been a great introduction for me to find out more. Thanks for sharing.
Well! I know a lot about LinkedIn but I am not an influencer and I am not even close to being one. Though I know that most cooperate bodies often take into the platform to know details about people, I never knew that it could be leveraged as a marketer too. Wow! I will definitely make the best out of my linkedin profile henceforth. This is really greatm thanks
Linkedin is one of the least used in social media platform for marketing purposes as compared to other means line facebook, instagram and twitter. This is mostly used for professional networking. But, why not do professional networking with a tinge of personal touch? You question hits the right chord.
Setting up your website and social media handles in your profile gives you a personal touch. People are drawn into your network better when they see a person behind the profile – that is you. This is a great booster for networking and thereby marketing.
Thanks for this eye-opener. I am going to re-jig my profile at linkedin and give a personal touch to it.
I have a LinkedIn account that i built probably 8 or 9 years ago because I thought it would help me get a teaching job only to find out it doesn’t work that way for education. It really only applies to the business world. Now that I am started affiliate marketing I will probably jump back into my LinkedIn account and update everything, gearing it toward affiliate marketing.
I never thought of it as a way to generate leads or revenue. I look forward to adding this into my tool belt soon!
I have heard many success stories of people who have used LinkedIn to acquire clients. Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked for me. I don’t know if there is something I’m not doing right. I will try to revamp my profile and see what happens. Thank you so much for your pointers.
Is your LinkedIn profile being viewed is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Your website, LinkedIn page and other sites show your professional side but also your personal side so that referrals can connect and identify with you. Therefore it displays more information than you may like an employer to know.
But if you are an influencer, then the more popularity you have, the better it is for you.
Just my opinion …

Very interesting topic! I’ve just updated my LinkedIn recently and noticed some activity. I always get so excited when I see new notifications on there. I’m not even looking for a job right now, I just like seeing that people are looking at my profile to see what I’m up to. I actually find, though, that the majority of my industry-related viewers are on my Instagram. Very strange considering I don’t actually put much content on there related to my work. Go figure. Anyways, to get those people over to my LinkedIn I will be putting my LinkedIn in my Instagram profile which everyone is currently using as a landing page. That should filter people on over. Hope this was helpful!
Hi Tony,
Thanks for yet another very important article!
Many of us don’t really appreciate how powerful LinkedIn is, and how important it is to do a thorough job of our profiles (but hey, it’s quite heavy work!) There is also the need to constantly revisit the profile and improve it. But that needs seeking the appropriate advice; you have provided just that!
I must say, some people find it difficult to share some or all of their Social Media pages, because that’s where they bare their souls about the things that matter the most in life. And that could make business and professional associates a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise, to make them comfortable, one could have to not speak about those issues they are passionate about. That and there, according to Dr Martin Luther King Jr., is where “our lives begin to end”!
Good article-thanks for sharing!
I admit that while I am on LI for business, I don’t use it’s full potential yet. I want to, but seem to find it difficult to manage the postings and updates. I have a large connection based on my publishing, but that isn’t translating into true involvement yet.
Any suggestions on making LI convert better? Especially for my husband’s business (sells software to a specific vertical) –
Hello tony! this is another amazing review from you again. for me, our profile picture is your calling card on LinkedIn, it’s how people are introduced to you and (visual beings that we are) it governs their impressions from the start. Then the right persons can start viewing your profile.
Thank you very much!
I have been using this app for the last couple of months and if I’m being honest, i still don’t know. I filled out all of my information but I’m not sure how to connect with people. Do you need to message other people just to get a dry loud coming for.
Sharing our LinkedIn page is a good habit. I know I have to update it and I have taken note of several things you mentioned here. I agree with you that most people check us first online before deciding if it would be worth to appoint a face to face meeting. I’ll get my LinkedIn profile brushed up. Thanks for these recommendations.
Linkedin is one of the most used corporate social media site however, it has been unfortunately laggy for me because I do not make use of the platform. However, seeing something like this here is simply amazing and I really appreciate all you have shared here. Thanks so much for sharing this post here. I guess I will look for ways to ensure I can become an influencer in there too
Hello Tony,
I’m glad to see, that you changed the looks of your site. It now looks “clean” and very logic. Could find all given information!
Keep up the good work! Farid
Thank You Farid, I appreciate your input. Wealthy Affiliate has helped me tremendously so I am paying it forward.
If you work business to business are an employee Linkedin is one of the most important places to be. I see way to few utilize Linkedin effectively for business. You should always have your contact information in plain sight even if people can’t reach
your complete profile. There are many more do’s and don’t we deal with on an almost daily basis.
Wonderful advice Dennis, thank you so much for contributing. Tony
Looks good with room for more. Don’t overcrowd your message. Good topic too. I would also let kyle in on it.
Thank You Charles. Let Kyle in on what?

Hi Tony,
I hadn’t thought of Linkedin for Dummies! Thanks! I like your website, it’s clear and easy to navigate.
Thank You Nigel, yes LinkedIn is a great site to be a part of as is Wealthy Affiliate.
Hello, Tony. I really haven’t gotten into Linkedin. I do share my website with those on Linkedin, Facebook and a few others. I need to do my research on them. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome Peggy, LinkedIn is my favorite besides Wealthy Affiliate of course.
I’ve worn a lot of hats in my day and I know my LinkedIn profile is so out of date. Thanks for reminding me to remedy that!
Thank You Cheryl for your comment and for taking the time to read my blog.
Hi tony enjoyed this post, you are so right you need your profile out there so it can be seen making sure it is up to date is very important. My thoughts on a profile is to treat as a personal C.V with all your personal information your achievements and your hobbies and interests as well as your professional information.
Thank You so much Jo, yes I completely agree
Tony,
Some great suggestions and resources. I know that we all are guilty of not thinking these thing through.
Your suggestions are appreciated.
