Do you feel like your professional growth has hit a snag?
That is a common issue to have, sometimes our usual strategies just stop delivering, and we need to look for new methods. One of which can be to blow off the dust from your LinkedIn account. Yes, LinkedIn, that professional focused social media that you made an account for and never used again. What if I told you that it has some great opportunities for personal branding and attracting clients which you are missing out? Well that is exactly the case, but don’t worry we are offering a Perth-exclusive LinkedIn training course, but before we can get into that, you need to ask yourself one question:
Why Should You Use LinkedIn?
Okay, so maybe you are not giving LinkedIn that much attention, but is that really a big deal? Yes, it’s a huge deal and here’s why:
In 2016, when LinkedIn was not doing so well, Microsoft managed to buy the platform for 25 billion, and give or take a couple of million dollars. Now, I don’t know about your lifestyle, but to me that seems like a big investment. Microsoft thought the platform was worth that much, and now, in 2020, we can say they were absolutely right.
One in every three professionals in the world use LinkedIn, with 150,000 new accounts joining every day, in Australia alone, there are 9 million users, 40% of which use the platform daily. That is an unthinkable amount of people, enough, I hope, to make you realize what a massive risk to your professional growth it can be to neglect the platform.
If you are interested in positioning yourself as a leader and attracting clients, there is really no better place to do it than LinkedIn.
LinkedIn And Personal Branding
Now that we have established LinkedIn’s potential, it’s time to talk about how you can exploit it, which involves that one term that is all over this website: Personal Branding!
Personal branding is the idea that your brand doesn’t end with your logo or your slogan but it’s actually something completely decided by the people who interact with you and your business. In other words personal branding is how people perceive you and despite being something mostly in the hands of outsiders, there are ways in which you can influence this impression they have of you. And this is where LinkedIn comes into play. Combine this with the fact that the Google algorithm loves LinkedIn and you have a solid recipe for positioning yourself as a leader of your field.
