LinkedIn Profile Search Optimization
Posted by Steve Tylock on 31 Dec 2009 | Tagged as: Profiles, Search, Ways to Use LinkedIn
How can you get to the top of the list?
That’s a really important place to be isn’t it? The corporate recruiter has only so much time and it’s better to be the first candidate the search returns than the last.

Today we’re going to take on the topic of optimizing your profile’s position within search results on LinkedIn. I’ve called it “LinkedIn Profile Search Optimization” because the acronym LIPSO sounds cool…

Let’s talk about search results today – and how you can influence your web site’s search rank through the use of your LinkedIn profile.
This is a bit technical and of importance mostly to those that want to get their web site ranked higher, so I’ll understand if you’re not interested – but if you’ve got a web site, read on…-)
Sorting LinkedIn Searches By Relationship
Posted by Steve Tylock on 26 Oct 2009 | Tagged as: Profiles, Ways to Use LinkedIn
LinkedIn’s “Introduction” feature is key to the service – it lets users reach out to potential customers, employers, employees, partners, and even investors.
This is a great way to turn a cold call into a warm introduction – through a mutually trusted individual.
And while it is possible to ask for introductions to both 2nd and 3rd level connections, it is easier with 2nd – because there is only one individual in the middle that knows both the introducer and the introducee.
LinkedIn opened up a search option to allow users to specify the relationship – and you should do that.
Let me take you through it…

Graphics For Your LinkedIn Profile

Yesterday’s mailbag included an interesting question from Ray – he’d like to know how to get the logos of his favoite organizations displayed on his profile and was unhappy that he hadn’t been able to figure it out.
I explained that it was a bit like trying to find a strategy for capturing a unicorn – just because you want to do something like that doesn’t mean you can.
But I worked out a good alternative that I’ll share with you.

Leveraging LinkedIn for Effective Projects

I’m really excited about creating this program – The Project Solvers and I have developed a workshop on Thursday July 16th for project teams and managers.
Besides the usual questions about how to use LinkedIn, we’ll show participants a tools set that will allow you to run projects effectively through LinkedIn and a few of the additional applications tied into the service.
How can project members communicate across the team?
Is there a way to share project plans and documents?
Can we get feedback from the development community, or the marketplace?
If our project team is scattered across several companies, cities, and continents, how can we setup an environment that lets us all do what we have to do?
All those questions – and more – will be answering for the workshop participants!
