20 Tips to Becoming Successful on LinkedIn – Refreshed and Expanded

1.  Treat your LinkedIn profile like a website:

Make sure it is formatted, clean, and free of spelling and grammatical errors.  I strongly suggest creating your LinkedIn profile first in a word document – not only so you can “catch” errors, but also so you can get a better idea of what your profile will look like on the LinkedIn website.  In some sections of LinkedIn you can also pull in bullets and special characters.  Alas – still no bolding or italics other than what LinkedIn itself formats. Another bonus, if you’ve already created your profile in a Word document, sections of it can easily be copied into other social media platforms to keep your branding unified.

2.  Know your keywords: Read more at linkedintobusiness.com

The Facebook Cartoon Hoax.

When I saw the reports tying the Facebook profile pic change nonsennse to pedophillia, I thought "easier to believe than it stopping child abuse"

However it started, it's harmless nonsense. You aren't covering for pedophiles, you aren't going to stop abuse, and you aren't going to loose you Facebook account.

I did like the comment "Can I leave my profile pic the same if I promise to stop hurting children?" That just might be more effective.

CHANGEYOUPRFILE PIC BACK TO NORMAL!! this cartoon thing has been set up by pedos using a registered charity thing to entice kids. Apparently on the 6th of december you will be kicked of fb if u hv cartoon pics. the more folk that put up the cartoon pics the harder it is for the police ...to catch the sickos!!!

Of course the above message is utterly untrue. The whole cartoon profile picture has got nothing to do with any registered charity and Facebook have not announced they will be kicking people off Facebook for having cartoon profile pictures. Fabricated nonsense. Read more at www.thatsnonsense.com

Heat Up Your LinkedIn Profile: @KeithFerrazzi talks to @ChrisBrogan

Social media isn't much if it's not social.

Be something more than a cold boring resume.

Read @ChrisBrogan's advice and make your profile more you.

Amplify’d from www.keithferrazzi.com

“Make sure you’re really in to LinkedIn, not just using it as just as a cold, stiff place to stick your profile. It’s not just a resume online. It’s a place where you’re actually angling towards your future. If you’re seeking out some different kind of opportunity and your previous experiences don’t even include a line-up to it, we then write the experiences such that they highlight the parts that do a line-up to it.

So for example, you are, I don’t know, a professional baker and you’re trying to get into the baking world and out of your old corporate job, then what you talk about is, you know, that you used to be a senior project manager of this organization and that during very difficult project meetings, you’d bring in your fresh baked whatevers – tell that story. My point is that your LinkedIn profile can speak of language that drives people to what they think they can do for work with you and how they should be viewing you, how they can couch you. The language of your LinkedIn profile is a very active, fluid thing that allows you not to gloss over bad parts of your past or anything like that but just to keep focusing people towards where you want things to go.
