Script for the Get Seen on LinkedIn Video:

In this video I want share some proven secrets for you to easily raise your LinkedIn profile, and to generate more opportunities.

These are Tips that many LinkedIn gurus do not talk about.

Hello My name is Mike Morrison & I am the innovation and disruption coach at RapidBI

What is the point of LinkedIn?

It is simple – to be FOUND

it is to increase your opportunities, be that employment or business development.

For most it should NOT be your exclusive strategy.

I have to assume at this point that you do have a complete profile:

A photo

Strong sub heading,

all of your employments,

clearly showing what you achieved (not what you were responsible for)

ALL the skills you have

What you might not have done yet is cleaned up your URL – having a vanity URL is important – change it now

The real secret to LinkedIn is to understand that LinkedIn is a search engine.

When people look for “project managers” or any other job role, they get a list.

Those search results are a list that is ordered by LinkedIn.

The great thing is we can influence that list order.

BACKGROUND

When LinkedIn used to show us statistics of our views, and ranking, it became clear that the successful could be created.

Over a period of months I checked and tested things that made a difference.

I invited others to join me.

They also improved their results, meaning often they started getting approached for jobs when before they did not.

Now here comes the belief part

Linkedin stopped showing us those statistics.

But they still have a search, and that search is ranked.

My approach suggests the original metrics are still valid – it is just that we cannot see them easily.

LinkedIn does have a thing called the Social Selling Index, or SSI

check out your score before you try what I suggest, and then check again after a month.

This will help show you some progress.

So what is the secret sauce?

The real secrets to LinkedIn success –

Something most so called linkedin experts wont tell you it is all about activity. And there are some short cuts or ways to give you a competitive advantage

This is what you need to do –

1. View the profiles of others – at least 10-20+ a day
2. Like the posts and comments of others –  – at least 10+ a day
3. Comment – a comment is worth more “points” than a like – so comment often. Comment and use key words to your industry – at least 30 a week

Keep doing this, every few days – little and often, and after 4-6 weeks you will see a change in your position in search results.

We have a group on linkedin called  team mike pay it forwards – that helps boost this – it does work.

On the screen you would have seen some of the quotes from people that do this and know it works.

Don’t just sit there and expect LinkedIn to work for you

Get active and make sure it supports your goals.

Please remember – LinkedIn should be just a small part of your overall strategy – not THE strategy!
