LinkedIn Creator Profile

LinkedIn Updates

I was speaking at a networking event this morning and suggested to attendees to improve their profiles on LinkedIn

a) The claimed their URL’s

b) They updated their headlines to include their Keywords

c) They switched profiles to LinkedIn Creator Mode

LinkedIn Creator Mode – difference

With a LinkedIn Creator profile you get access to the creator tools. These include:

Being able to add a short video to your LinkedIn Profile
The addition of tags to tell people the subjects you talk about.
The ability to display your weblink in your profile box
Displaying the actual number of followers you have rather than just 500+ connections.

Give it a try!

The easiest way to switch to Creator Profile is via the LinkedIn app. Once you have switched you will find it easy to edit on desktop. Or a computer. But setting up is easiest on the app.

Open the app on your mobile and click on your profile picture in the top left hand corner.

Then click on view profile.

Scroll down to Resources section. This is where you can convert your profile to creator mode.

You will then be able to edit your account, add in the addition information you would like to share.

And of course create that 30 second video!

Once you have done this you will get access to new insights too.

Have a go, and if you get stuck feel free to contact me. Please feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.

How do I Increase my LinkedIn Company followers? This is a question I am so very often asked.

How do I Increase my LinkedIn Company Page Followers?

Well luckily for us LinkedIn have decided to help us increase our LinkedIn Company Page followers, by re-introducing the “invite button”.

Increase LinkedIn Followers, Click on Admin Tools

Simply go to your business page and click on admin tools. You’ll find the option to “Invite Connections” on the drop down box.

Increase LinkedIn Followers – Should I Invite Everyone to follow my Company Page?

My advice here would be NO – really think about who you want to invite to follow your page. As this is a relatively new feature people will start to go a little click happy as soon as they find it.

People will be inundated with notifications of requests to follow LinkedIn Company Pages. With this in mind I would be a little picky. Go through your connections. Really think about the people who you feel would really benefit from following your company page.

LinkedIn Company Page Invite Restrictions

There are some restrictions – to control the amount of invites being sent out from you. An admin can invite up to 50 of their connections at a session. So this is why I say, really think about who you are inviting.

Also you will find:-

If you have less than 3 connections you wont have the ability to invite connectons

If you have more than 100,000 followers on your page you may not have this option.

Please bare in mind, once invited – that’s it. You will not be able to invite that person again. So if you feel you are being flooded with invitations, hold back. Wait until it all calms down about, then start to invite!

My Invitation to You

Of course, it would be daft of me not to invite you at this point to Follow my Company page on LinkedIn! Please feel free to invite me to follow your pages too.
