On LinkedIn there is a technique to acquiring an impressive list of recommendations. There is also a technique to building high quantities of endorsements on a limited number of skill sets. 

All we're asking is for a little reciprocity. 

Reciprocity simply means giving and receiving. And on LinkedIn, it should go in that order. If you give a great recommendation, all you're asking in return, honey, is to get one on your LinkedIn profile.

It's fun. It's easy, and it can help you build and nurture your digital friendships. 

Tune in to hear VirtForce founder Kimber Hill spill her secret sauce for getting more of her friends and colleagues to invest their time in giving her great recommendations and endorsements.

People are going to look you up on LinkedIn. End of discussion. 

When they get to your profile, what you choose to include or omit will either strengthen your position as an expert in your field or confuse the visitor. 

You must be careful about what you include in education, work experience, skills and even your accomplishments. It all directly impacts how you are endorsed. How you show up in the algorithm. And what a recruiter or hiring manager might think when they view your profile. 

But don't worry. Don't let all of this stress you out! It's quite simple to navigate. In this episode, we have step-by-step best practices to help you succeed in these areas.

Did you know the human brain can process images 60,000 times faster than text? Then, it's no surprise that your LinkedIn profile should have some stellar photos! That includes your profile photo and your cover photo.

Here are some more stats for you, a professional photo on LinkedIn gets 14 times more views than a candid photo, and about 90% of LinkedIn users are leaving their cover photo blank. Don't leave that advertising space untapped!

Contrary to your mental blocks, no graphic design experience is necessary to create a great cover photo, and you can have a stellar head shot without paying hundreds of dollars for a professional photographer. We are going to transform your LinkedIn with a new cover photo and new profile photo in less than a day and for zero dollars. 

Tune in! We're teaching you how to hack these two very visual parts of your LinkedIn profile for immediate success.

Many people make the mistake of keeping their LinkedIn profile very broad. Having too broad of a LinkedIn profile screams of desperation. It says, "I am in need of a job so badly I would take anything!" 

We want to flip the script and have an employer say, "I will give you any job you want at my company. I need you that badly."

Here is what you need to go from a broad LinkedIn profile to a tailored one: 

Know your core values What you're good at What job you want Who you most want to help

You may not know the answers to these 4 questions yet. You may be feeling nervous about even approaching the topic because you've never taken the time to examine yourself and what you really want. 

Don't worry! We're going to walk you through it, and we're going to have a lot of fun doing it!
