16 LinkedIn Secrets you NEED TO KNOW

To stash your daily 'pinta' (a pint bottle of fresh milk that was delivered daily - those were the days!)

16 LinkedIn "secrets" most don't know, this will help you!

If you hope to get ahead and really transform your LinkedIn profile into a success, you will need
to familiarize yourself with some of the site’s little tricks and tips that not everyone may know. 

In fact, the following list is something that every LinkedIn user should copy,
save and keep on file for future reference:
Turn off activity broadcasts whenever making major changes to your profile.
You don’t want to annoy your network by bombarding them with updates.
Use LinkedIn Groups to help you grow your network. Interact on a regular basis,
offer advice and try to connect with fellow group members as much as you can.
Remember to only join groups that suit your industry or skills. You can join up to 50 groups
and you can leave them whenever you wish so don’t feel too restricted with your choices.
Focus on your main (maximum of 4 of 5) skills when completing your profile
and make it very clear as to what you specialize in.
When requesting endorsements from your connections,
be specific and tell them which skills you would like to be endorsed for.
Only give real, genuine recommendations and endorsements. You’re not doing anyone
any favors by recommending them for something you have not even experienced.
Save time by repurposing your existing content and using it on LinkedIn.
If you held more than one position at a particular company over a few years,
you can add each position or job title separately in your profile. This will help keep your profile looking organized and it will look like you have even more experience!
If you receive a connection request, don’t be scared to connect if you don’t know the person.
Check their profile out at least and take their request into consideration.
You should only refuse if they are a competitor, if connecting wouldn’t benefit either of you
or if the profile is missing important details like an original headline or profile picture.
View profiles anonymously by changing your viewing setting.
You can now surf and browse without any concern that they might figure out it was you
and start bombarding you with messages.
LinkedIn has character limits in many of their information fields
so make sure you know your limits on each field and use every last space to your advantage.
Let people get to know who you are and not just what you are good at.
Do this by letting your personality come through in your profile summary.
Change the order of the content on your profile.
Place the most important information at the top
so that viewers don’t need to scroll down to see it.
When completing job descriptions of positions you held, try not to add too much detail.
Focus on responsibilities that are directly related to your expertise
and list those rather than other ad hoc duties.
Add a QR code to your business code that people can scan to reach your LinkedIn profile
in a matter of seconds. Keep these cards on you everywhere you go –
you never know when an opportunity will present itself.
If you need the extra features of a Premium account but you don’t need them for a full year,
you can sign up for a monthly Premium account. Use your account and all these extra features
as much as you need in that month before reverting to a regular account.
Your goal is to have at least 500 connections if you want to be seen as a serious networker.
That said, remember not to connect blindly!
Before you start making any connections, go through your LinkedIn profile with a fine tooth comb. Make sure that it’s 100% to your satisfaction before sending out any connection requests.
