Unit 4: Grow Your LinkedIn Profile
Your LinkedIn profile is like your digital business card. A strong profile gives you authority and trust when you send messages.
📌 Goals for Growth:
- First 3 months: Reach at least 100 connections.
- 6 months: Reach 500+ connections. (This is where real benefits begin.)
- Account Age: Profiles older than 6 months with 500+ connections get far more visibility.
✅ Action Plan:
- Use your primary LinkedIn profile actively.
- Create a second profile (nickname account) with the title “Commission Sales Associate” at Excel Promo (Freelance, Houston, TX, Remote).
- Connect both accounts to reach further and support each other’s posts.
- Send daily connection requests to:
- Friends and family
- Neighbors and classmates
- Teachers and mentors
- Your boss, colleagues, and higher management
- People from your industry and leads you engage with
- Invest time weekly to:
- Post relevant updates or resharing Excel Promo’s content
- Comment on industry posts
- Keep your profile professional (photo, title, and headline)
👉 Key Tip: LinkedIn rewards consistent engagement. Even 10–15 minutes a day adds up over months and makes your profile stronger.
