Your LinkedIn profile is your second homepage

Before a meeting, a hire or a purchase, people look you up. For most professionals, the LinkedIn profile is the first thing that comes back. It deserves the same care as a homepage.

Say what you do, for whom

Your headline is the most-read line you own. A job title tells people where you sit. A line about who you help and how tells them why to keep reading.

Write the About section in the first person

Only the first few lines show before the reader has to click. Use them for the point, not the preamble: what you do, who for, and what makes your approach different.

Show proof

Use the Featured section for the work you most want people to see: a case study, a talk, an article. Proof does more than adjectives.

Post on a rhythm you can keep

One useful post a week beats a burst of daily posts that fades after a month. Pick two or three themes you know well and return to them.

Keep the facts consistent

Use the same name, role and links across your profiles and your website. Consistency helps people, search engines and AI systems connect them all to one person.
