Feb. 21, 2012 - PRLog -- Your LinkedIn profile could be your first impression with a potential business partner or client. In order to make the best first impression possible, consider these tips.

1. Fill out your profile completely.
Your LinkedIn profile is an extension of you and your business. Put your best foot forward.

2. Create a customized LinkedIn url.
This LinkedIn url can be used throughout your offline and online marketing pieces to drive traffic to your profile. This customized url will also improve the visibility of your LinkedIn profile within the LinkedIn and search engine searches.

3. Your Smiling Picture
Use a headshot picture of just you dressed in attire appropriate for your industry.

4. Create consistent, keyword targeted content.
A person should get the same ‘feel’ and hear the same type of words on your LinkedIn profile that you say in person and other places online. Your LinkedIn profile is not meant to be written as resume but rather a summary showing the benefits of working with you with a bit of your personality shining through.

5. Customize your Website links
By default, your website links will appear as My Website or My Blog. You can change this links to be descriptive and keyword optimized.

LinkedIn can be an amazing tool for you and your business. On Tuesday, February 28 at 8:30-10:30am our LinkedIn workshop we will be covering these points and much more.
