About Course

Course Introduction

Your LinkedIn Profile is the foundation on which all of your LinkedIn activity is built. This first of five free LinkedIn courses focuses on optimizing the key components of your LinkedIn personal profile, to ensure you make a powerful impact at first glance.

By refining the elements in this course you will significantly increase your discoverability on LinkedIn and encourage viewers to explore your profile further, enhancing your opportunities for networking, personal branding, job hunting, growth, reach, and much more.

Free LinkedIn Course

This is the first of five courses in the LinkedIn Profile series that are provided FREE to everyone. Simply enrol and complete the course at your own pace. You’re invited to leave a review, but it is entirely optional.

First Things First

Let’s turn off Profile Update Notifications. You’re going to be making changes to your profile, so it’s a good idea to change the setting that notifies your connections of every little change that you make. You can turn it back on afterwards.

Expert Tips

Throughout lessons I use a box like this to offer expert tips based on my years of experience in optimizing LinkedIn profiles.

LinkedIn Premium Users

Throughout lessons I use a gold box like this to identify elements that are only available to LinkedIn Premium users. LinkedIn offers a number of premium profile services including LinkedIn Premium and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
