To do this, you must choose a favorite topic on LinkedIn, where you will position yourself as an expert on the subject. Once you have found your theme, it’s time to think about it and plan posts on the network.

If you are comfortable creating marketing tools, do not hesitate to publish content that redirects to a landing page. This will present your skills and expertise differently, while driving traffic in another medium. 

2. Have a catchy title

From now on, you can retrieve B2B emails and legal information from companies (SIRET, SIREN, VAT), while respecting GDPR requirements.

How to recover this data? Go to point 4. It may be a detail for you, but for us it means a lot...
This means you have LinkedIn codes. As you know, emojis have been on the rise for several years! So why not use them on LinkedIn? 

This avoids monochrome titles, which become less visible. Choosing your emoji carefully serves to briefly introduce yourself and makes you want to know more about you and your expertise. 

Beyond the title, you can add a “subtitle” and clearly announce your added value! You can use for example: “We propel your company's digital strategy! 🚀”

3. Target your audience

From now on, you can retrieve B2B emails and legal information from companies (SIRET, SIREN, VAT), while respecting GDPR requirements.

How to recover this data? Go to point 4. To be visible, your profile must speak to your audience. If you position yourself as a salesperson, recruiter or job seeker, your message will not have the same spin. To help you, it is strongly recommended to define your persona.

A persona, what is it? 

The persona is the typical profile of your target. Depending on different criteria, such as:  

  • age, 
  • sex, 
  • the area of the activity, 
  • interests,
  • geographical position,
  • consumption habits,

Communication methods are different.

Once this persona is defined, all you have to do is think about your content strategy and above all, the tone of your messages to be 100% consistent and achieve your objective: be visible on LinkedIn. 

4. Encourage your target to participate

Once your content strategy has been developed, all you have to do is build loyalty and involve your community! It is at this stage that you will be able to generate leads.

In the subtitles section mentioned previously, you can also add a link to your website, or a landing page, for example. 

LinkedIn is full of interesting features! Don’t hesitate to make good use of it: 

  • Use surveys to gather feedback and consider improving your content strategy, 
  • Create a carousel by leaving an open question at the end of it. Be creative!
  • Write an article, to collect different interactions and optimize your SEO on LinkedIn 

5. Stand out!

No more overly professional profiles with little identity: we immediately want to understand your personality and who you are! 

We repeat ourselves, but having a catchy title and a punchy summary is already a big part of the work done.

The more structured your profile is, the more you will make a difference.

Beyond the text, the visitor wants a visual identity. 

An image to match your banner

The profile photo showing you on vacation is over! We want professional. 

Create harmony between your profile and your banner using a color code, or an image redirecting to a landing page, for example: 

Discuss your favorite topics in your presentation

Favorite topics will allow visitors to directly understand whether your profile is related to their activity or interests. 

To do this, you must have a creator profile. Go to “Resources”, “Creator Mode” and “Topics (optional)”. 

Highlight your key posts thanks to the selection

Show what you are capable of by highlighting your posts! You can pin your website, your posts that worked best, blog articles... In short, all the content that will make the difference.
