For instance we chose to add our video to our own John’s LInkedIn profile:

Now people who visit his profile can see the explainer video of what Dasheroo does!
3. Be Generous With Your Title (But Don’t Lie)
Your title doesn’t have to just be VP, Excellent Company in LInkedIn. You can even get some keywords in there. When we looked at our co-founder John’s title for one of his gigs it reads: Co-founder & Board Member – Advisor on Online Marketing Strategy, Branding & Customer Acquisition. GREAT JOB! He incorporated keywords into the title.
There you have it, 3 quick ways to re-visit your LInkedIn profile and make it better.
