It\u2019s another to have a robust LinkedIn profile that is targeted towards your ideal employers and differentiates the unique value you offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need a vibrant profile that communicates who you are and what your personal brand is all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, as much as possible, you need to fully populate every applicable section of your profile with compelling content designed to resonate with your target employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color:#0d7b14\" class=\"has-inline-color\">The 5 Longer LinkedIn Profile Sections to Brand Yourself<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 5 narrative sections (allowing for at least 2,000 characters and spaces) are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>About<\/li><li>Experience<\/li><li>Projects<\/li><li>Publications<\/li><li>Recommendations<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives you plenty of room for brand-reinforcing content.

Ask yourself the same question the brand managers at Nike, Coke, Pepsi, or the Body Shop ask themselves: What is it that my product or service does that makes it different? Give yourself the traditional 15-words-or-less contest challenge. Take the time to write down your answer. And then take the time to read it. Several times.<\/p><p>Start by identifying the qualities or characteristics that make you distinctive from your competitors \u2014 or your colleagues.

The people you know and work with know what you&#8217;re the &#8220;go-to&#8221; person for. They know about the personal attributes, values, strengths, and passions you draw from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s up to you to identify those qualities and characteristics within you, integrate your value proposition into all your personal marketing efforts, and communicate a crystal clear, consistent message across multiple channels \u2013 online and offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have my personal branding worksheet, here are some questions to ponder and answer as specifically as possible. Remember that branding is about differentiating yourself. You can\u2019t do that with vague words or content. These questions will help you get going:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What things do you love most about your work?<\/li><li>What makes you a good fit for your target employers?<\/li><li>How do your personality and personal attributes help you do your work better?<\/li><li>What are your \u201csuper strengths\u201d at work?<\/li><li>Which things about your day-to-day work life are you most passionate about doing?<\/li><li>How have those things benefitted others at work?<\/li><li>What makes you stand out from others with similar qualifications?<\/li><li>What do people you work with say about your performance and contributions?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color:#0d7b14\" class=\"has-inline-color\">How to Brand Yourself in Your LinkedIn Profile<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>LinkedIn provides many ways and <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/how-to-get-your-personal-brand-into-your-linkedin-profile\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"158\">places on your profile<\/a> to communicate your personal brand and stay top-of-mind with people who can help you achieve your goals. Here are some strategies to help you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>There&#8217;s no single right or wrong way to write personal brand content.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are probably many ways to approach this that will position you well. Don&#8217;t be afraid to do something with your <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/15-savvy-tips-to-boost-linkedin-profile-views\/\">LinkedIn profile<\/a> that few, if any, others are doing. Branding is about differentiating your unique value. Just the fact that your profile reads a little differently than your competitors could seal the deal for potential employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Engage people at the beginning with an intriguing, bold statement. <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, in the About section you could start with something like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;<em>I love what I get to do each day at work.<\/em>&#8220;\u2026 and then describe what those things are.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Look at the LinkedIn profiles of some of your competitors.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>See what they say about themselves. Get ideas from their profiles, but NEVER brand yourself the same way they do by using their content for your own profile. Potential employers are very likely to notice when they&#8217;re sourcing candidates. Both you and the person whose profile you copied from will suffer. No one looks favorably on plagiarism. But it\u2019s okay to use some of the same keyword phrases representing your areas of expertise that they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Be specific about your areas of expertise.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Write down all your relevant skills, the ones in which you do well, and use this information in various areas of your profile. These areas of expertise typically represent your relevant keywords for SEO. They should also go in your Skills section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Back up the claims you make about your expertise.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Go further than just stating that you excel at particular things. Provide examples. A statement will carry more weight if you include a specific instance when you had a win using your expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color:#0d7b14\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Creating the Content to Brand Yourself<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some things to keep in mind as you create the content for your profile:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Always keep your target employers in mind, and write content that positions you as the problem fixer for them.<\/li><li>Draw people in and make it an interesting read right from the get-go.<\/li><li>Your content should be written with both human beings and search engines in mind.<\/li><li>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/how-c-a-r-storytelling-gives-executive-resume-branding-zing\/\">storytelling<\/a> whenever possible, instead of only flat statements of fact.<\/li><li>Include plenty of white space so the content is easy on the eye to read, and people will want to read more of your profile.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the final point above, it\u2019s very important to break up the content. I see too many profiles with dense, tightly-packed text. There\u2019s no relief for the eyes. Here are some ways to build in white space:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Keep paragraphs to no longer than, say, 5 lines.<\/li><li>Add blank lines between paragraphs.<\/li><li>Use groupings of 3-5 bullet points.<\/li><li>Further improve visual appeal by adding italics, bolding, and other enhancements with a site like Cool Symbol.<\/li><li>Add \u201ceye candy\u201d by copying and pasting in special characters from other sources<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t go overboard with the last two items above. Make sure your profile looks professional, with just a few enhancements here and there. Too much of that stuff can work against you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you don\u2019t need to do the work of <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/how-to-write-a-dazzling-linkedin-summary\/\">writing content for so many sections<\/a> all at once. Take your time. Focus on one section at a time, but start with the About section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About Section<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The About section sits high on the web page, so both humans and search engines will take notice of it more readily than other sections further down the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know the saying that \u201c<em>people hire people they know and like<\/em>.\u201d Think of this section as your biography. Here&#8217;s where your personal brand content tells your career story, differentiating the value you offer over your competitors. Storytelling allows you to make a more vibrant connection with people than the dry resume-speak too often used here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highlight the qualities and personal attributes that make you a good fit for your target employers . . . that is, lean on the \u201cpersonal\u201d part of your personal brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your goal here is to strike a balance between personal branding and personal SEO, or hard vs. soft skills. Here are a few ways to do this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Add one or two short but juicy testimonials. Use something that\u2019s not already in one of your LinkedIn recommendations.<\/li><li>Include a brief paragraph about why you chose your profession or industry.<\/li><li>Break down the information into sub-sections, with headers in all caps. The headers should include relevant keywords and phrases for SEO.<\/li><li>Leave a little room at the bottom of the About section to list misspellings and variations of your name, so that people using them to search for you will still find your profile. This also helps Google and other search engines find you.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay close attention to the first few lines (a total of 40 words or so) in this section, the ones that are visible without having to click on &#8220;see more&#8221; to view the entire section. Make this preview enticing enough to compel people to want to read the whole section. If you&#8217;re using desktop instead of mobile, a few more words are visible in the short preview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Writing in the first person and using the word \u201cI\u201d (sparingly) is the best way to approach this section, instead of writing in third person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Experience Section<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of this section as your resume, where you\u2019ll brand yourself and build credibility by highlighting the actual work you\u2019ve done in current and past jobs, and how you helped companies in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One good way to tackle this is to create Challenges, Actions, and Results (CARs) stories. In other words, think of two or three times (for each of your jobs) when you really came through for your employer. The things you did that benefited them. Prompt these stories by writing down answers to these queries for each of your stories. (Use metrics or numbers here whenever possible to really hit it home.):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What challenge were you, your team or employer facing? <\/li><li>How were you the right person to tackle it?<\/li><li>What specific actions did you take to meet the challenge or get that particular thing done?<\/li><li>What were the positive results of your actions that benefited your employer?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason the Challenge \u2013 Actions \u2013 Results exercise works so well is because it links your hard skills to your softer skills, and it also helps boost keyword density. The \u201cactions\u201d you took will typically represent your hard skills, which are the relevant keywords you need to sprinkle throughout your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with the About section, as you\u2019re adding in content to this section and making adjustments, pay close attention to what appears to viewers without having to click on \u201csee more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Projects Section<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This somewhat hidden section is a little-used gem. You\u2019ll need to add it to your profile itself, before you can make use of it. Access it in the \u201cAdd profile section\u201d drop-down under \u201cAccomplishments\u201d when you\u2019re in \u201cview profile\u201d mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since each Project is tied to a particular job of yours in the Experience section, a project becomes a powerful way to add more content to that job if you\u2019ve used up all the 2,000 characters and spaces allowed for each job description in the Experience section. You essentially get an extra 2,000 characters and spaces for each entry in the Experience section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get creative with Projects. For example, if you worked on a challenging project, write up a description of it with the details and plop it into a Project. Tell the story of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How it all came about,<\/li><li>The situation you walked into,<\/li><li>What needed to be done,<\/li><li>What wasn\u2019t working,<\/li><li>Exactly what you did to fix things, and<\/li><li>What the various outcomes were.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, as with the About section, as you\u2019re adding in content to this section and making adjustments, pay close attention to what appears to viewers, without having to click on \u201csee more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Two Other Longer LinkedIn Profile Sections to Brand Yourself<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recommendations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The character limit in this section is 3,000 (as of this writing). Although these are written by others recommending you, you can certainly reach out to people and ask for recommendations for yourself, and help them write them. I\u2019ve found that people appreciate help and suggestions. Better yet, write recommendations for others first, and they\u2019ll be much more likely to write one for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Publications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The character limit in this section is 2,000. If you\u2019ve written an ebook, white paper, or other publication, fill out one of these sections for each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A tip: You can\u2019t add images in the Publications section, but you can upload the covers (or associated images) for your publications in the About or Experience sections of your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article was first published, with a slightly different focus, on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smallbusinessrainmaker.com\/small-business-marketing-blog\/how-to-write-linkedin-personal-brand-content-for-your-profile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Small Business Rainmaker blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More About LinkedIn and Executive Job Search<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/how-to-find-and-connect-with-the-right-recruiters-on-linkedin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Find and Connect with the RIGHT Recruiters on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/should-you-display-opentowork-on-your-linkedin-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Should You Display #OpenToWork on Your LinkedIn Profile?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/are-you-using-linkedin-stories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Are You Using LinkedIn Stories?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every part of your LinkedIn profile is an opportunity to communicate your brand, but LinkedIn offers 5 longer sections to really brand yourself well.
