You have just five seconds to position yourself as an expert with your LinkedIn profile. When people find you on LinkedIn mobile, they will only see your profile picture and headline. This is ultimately your first impression\u2014and where people will decide to learn more about you. Your goal should be to make this valuable space as professional as possible, it\u2019s your elevator pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without an appealing LinkedIn mobile profile, you may miss out a new client, a potential business partner, or a future job opportunity. In today\u2019s social media world, investing in LinkedIn and your personal brand is a must. Be prepared to stand-out and highlight who you are. You need 4 sections to stand out on mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four tips for a powerful first impression on LinkedIn mobile.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Use a Current Professional Profile Photo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your profile photo is everyone\u2019s first visual impression of you and an important part of your personal branding\u2014you\u2019ll want to make sure you do it right. An inviting profile photo can persuade people to want to read your profile. If you don\u2019t have a decent portrait, it\u2019s time to contact a local professional photographer today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you based in Switzerland? Peter Sturn, Pixstudios<\/a>, is an international business- and people photographer from Switzerland with a unique and modern style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I continues to share my unique vision and experiences as a speaker, primarily focused on educating professionals through presentations and keynotes about the power of LinkedIn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Write a Powerful Headline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first words are the most impactful on a mobile device. You\u2019ll want to write a catchy sentence that encourages people to open your profile. This is where the magic happens\u2014potential clients, recruiters, and business partners are bored with seeing generic headlines such as, \u201cLinkedIn Strategist and Trainer at Kessler Social Media.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Without an appealing first impression on LinkedIn mobile , you may miss out a future job opportunity.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

3. Wow Visitors with a Custom Background Picture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that you can add a background image behind your profile? This is an opportunity to share an enticing slogan, tell more about yourself, highlight your services, or emphasize your passions. The key to standing out is by being authentic and transparent\u2014this is your career website, not your resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It takes courage; however, professionals that I have trained have been amazed at the possibilities of their personal branding when it\u2019s been thought through. Need help creating a custom graphic? I can recommend the graphic design expert Laura Cunningham<\/a> from San Diego. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Share Your Career Summary and Shine with the First Sentence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the LinkedIn mobile app, the first line is the only section of your summary that you can see without clicking further. Do you see the three dots on the second line?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people don\u2019t know that when creating their summary on the desktop version, so be sure to put an extra priority on the first sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Remember, Your LinkedIn Profile is Your Career Story on the Go.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Standing out with creative text and visuals will attract people\u2014which means more business! Show the authentic you, write content, and share your experiences and tips with the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
