LinkedIn Profile Writing

Tell a compelling brand story about you on LinkedIn in such a way that you attract your ideal clients to you so that you can build the business of your dreams.To this end, a well-crafted 2000-character (400 – 500 word) profile is the cornerstone of your LinkedIn client acquisition strategy.If you’d like me to help you craft something masterful, reach out at the end of this explanation.


The Goal

Build a brand story and persona on LinkedIn that will open up conversations with your ideal clients so that you can enrol them to do business with you.


The Process

  • You fill out a questionnaire that is aimed at finding out your essence and clarifying your contribution:
  • Your personality
  • Your vision, mission and goals
  • The persona of your ideal client
  • Your products and services
  • Your point of difference (What is it that you bring to the table that your competitors don’t)
  • Your brand story
  • Your call to action
  • And, lots more
  • Once I have got all the information from you, we set up a meeting and brainstorm the message we want to portray. This is your brand, and you have to have the majority say in it. I only guide and write the final manifesto.
  • Once we have agreed on a direction, I go away and write your LinkedIn profile. You clear it, and we make it live on your LinkedIn platform.
  • Thereafter, I’ll tune up your entire LinkedIn property so that it is fully optimised for LinkedIn search and your prospective clients.
  • Once we’ve written the profile, I then give your entire LinkedIn profile a tune up so that it is 100% aligned with LinkedIn best practices.
  • And, I spend an hour coaching you on exactly what you have to do to attract clients to you on LinkedIn.
