5 Easy Steps to Success on LinkedIn

Wanna advance your career and move up on the corporate ladder? Then you've come to just the right place! These 5 easy to follow steps will increase your clout, connections, hireability, and likability on LinkedIn -- the world's premiere job related social media network!


  1. Your profile has to look professional beyond all else. No slack-jawed selfies of you in the shower clearly showing you're taking a picture of yourself. You need a definitive picture that will stand out from the rest! That is why I recommend heading over to the Bitstrips app on your iPhone or Android device and to start constructing an animated version of your virtual self! 
  2. When you connect with people be sure to tailor your request messages, personalize it! Nothing says a need to connect more so than expressing your undulating lustful desire to be in their professional connection network!
  3. Maintain professional relationships. Loosely translated -- nicely phrased and wittily constructed cryptic and puzzling comments that address how much you need them and can't live without out them will go a long way to your success in the business world and on LinkedIn!
  4. Be sure to introduce connections. So, when you're at a party remember that it's always nice to be introduced by a friend or a mutual acquaintance to make interactions a little less uncomfortable. Essentially, If Tom likes Sally at work be sure to let Sally know Tom's most deepest intentions in a private message addressed to her, from you and blind carbon copied to the rest of your LinkedIn contacts. That way everybody is introduced to one another!
  5. Last and certainly not least -- write recommendations! That way others will in turn do that for you. It's equally beneficial. Nothing more sounds of success than an established colleague singing your praises or you helping them by voicing theirs. For example, if Richard has a great way with numbers illustrate that with a useful analogy alluding to a well known film. Make it entertaining. Here's an proven example that works every time; since Richard likes to hit the casinos on the weekends and always wins some money then be sure to illustrate how he fashions himself as the Rain Man, counting cards and duping the casinos as a result of his amazing mathematical wizardry. 


Well, there you have it; that wraps up our insightful take on 5 easy steps that will increase clout, connections, likability and hireability for your online presence. See you next week and have a great one at that!
