Expert Tip
The good news is you can keyword search services rather than scroll through the massive list. Some sservices appear in more than one category. Bizarrely, some services are not where you would expect to find them.
For example: Website Design and WordPress Design services appear in the DESIGN category and NOT in the WEBSITE DESIGN category.
…and I have no idea why DJing is listed at all.
For your convenience all 16 Core Service Categories and their related Services are listed below.
LinkedIn Premium Notes
When clients send a request for a proposal on LinkedIn, they can choose to send their request to additional similar providers (you) at the same time. If you have a Premium Business subscription, you can turn on your Get more service requests setting to be eligible to receive these additional requests. Getting more project requests can help you find more potential clients globally.
You can respond to requests that you receive from your Service Page admin view. If the client’s request has already received 10 responses, you won’t be able to respond to the request. Requests are matched with providers if the Services provided section of your Service Page matches the service that the project requires. The provider and client must also have the same language and location (if applicable).
Who can use this feature?
You need a Premium Business subscription to be eligible to receive additional project requests. LinkedIn are gradually rolling out the Get more service requests setting available, and you might not have access to it at this time.
