5 Steps to Populate Your Profile

Do you ever wonder how people get so much traffic to their profiles, while you barely get  views in a month? Here are a few simple steps to populate your profile and increase awareness to potential connections.

1. Complete your LinkedIn profile: Make sure you update and customize your profile to reflect your personal image. List all your past and current positions. Once you do this, your profile will be considered “complete” making it easier for others to connect with you.
2. Use keywords to increase your Search Engine Optimization (SEO): By using keywords such as advertising, public relations or marketing, people in those fields are more likely to be relocated to your profile. Avoid using jargon, and make sure your keywords reflect how you can help potential clients.
3. Create consistent and relevant status updates: Try and update your status two to three times a day for optimum visibility.
4. Organize your network: There are several ways to find connections through the LinkedIn “See who you already know” tab. First, you can send an invite to existing contacts. Next, you can search for past and present colleagues as well as classmates. Finally, review the suggestion engine for people you may know.
5. Participate in LinkedIn groups: Focus on being apart of three to five groups. In these groups join the discussions to increase your awareness of targeted publics and build new connections. 

These steps can help you build new connections and make your profile more visible than it was before.
