How to increase visibility on LinkedIn
Are you hiding on LinkedIn? Some of you may be confused.
How do you increase visibility on LinkedIn?
The entire goal of LinkedIn is to improve your visibility, open new networks, and seize potential opportunities. If you are hiding, that would defeat the purpose, right?
Yet, every day, I see profiles that hide the profile owner in one or more ways.
Increase Visibility on LinkedIn by ensuring you are set to full profile

Increase Visibility on LinkedIn by showing your full name
You should see the problem with this example. How will anyone find you if you don’t show your last name?
Increase Visibility on LinkedIn by setting your profile photo to public

If you rectify these settings, you will find that your visibility will increase.

However, when you get these right, you can launch a dynamic content marketing strategy to make you an expert in your field. People often tell me they don’t know what to talk about on LinkedIn. But if you are working, you are an expert in the area you work. You can research interesting information and share it with your audience.
