How to Create a Lead Generating Linkedin Profile

Have you dipped your toes into using LinkedIn but are not sure if it’s a social media platform you should be focusing on? Or have you been putting effort into it but haven’t seen an increase of leads or sales from your activity? LinkedIn can become a powerful growth tool for your small business if you use it right. And it all starts with optimising your profile.

For a long time, LinkedIn has been my favourite of all the social media platforms, although I’ve been exploring new loves such as Instagram this year. No matter how obsessed I have got around creating a reel or an engaging Instagram post, I still love the community power of LinkedIn, and the potential for huge organic reach from a post without as much as a few sentences placed together is better than any other platform.

It’s so much more than a job finding or corporate promotional platform and can provide you with the ability to build relationships with both your ideal client and other business owners like yourself around the world.

I often say to small business owners “If your target market tends to be employed, and has money, then they’re likely to be found on Linkedin.” All small business owners can find their particular target market on the platform. Like anything, it’s how you use it!

Your personal Linkedin profile helps you connect person to person with your network.
