The Ultimate LinkedIn Profile Tips Summary [Infographic] + 8 Stats

by Neal Schaffer

October 23, 2013 By Neal Schaffer 12 Comments

The-Ultimate-LinkedIn-Profile-Tips-Summary-[Infographic]-+-8-Stats-600x600-V2

It’s been a few months since I wrote my popular Professional LinkedIn Profile Tips: A Checklist of 17 Must-Have Items post, and since we have all seen the growing importance of visual social media, I wanted to offer the Maximize Social Business readers an easy way to compare their own profile with what I call the perfect LinkedIn profile tips summary. When I mentioned wanting to do an infographic with #MSB contributor Tammy Kahn Fennell, she offered to work together to create something that could serve as a reference for her MarketMeSuite customers as well.

In addition to the 17 must-have items I listed in my blog post, all now shown in beautiful visual form, Tammy’s team also added some great content so that the infographic contains the following compelling 8 statistics about LinkedIn that will serve you well to keep in mind:

  1. Adding a LinkedIn profile picture makes your profile 7x more likely to be viewed by others
  2. More than 2 billion LinkedIn endorsements have been given out since its launch.
  3. The average number of endorsements per LinkedIn user is 5.
  4. There are more than 200 conversations happening each minute across LinkedIn Groups.
  5. 81% of LinkedIn users belong to at least one group.
  6. 50.5% of user profiles are 100% complete.
  7. 42% of users update their information on a regular basis.

You don’t need to spend an entire day updating your LinkedIn profile: An hour here or there will suffice. But just as updating our websites on a regular basis is a best practice for most businesses, updating our own personal/professional website that is LinkedIn on a regular basis might be equally important, especially as LinkedIn continues to evolve.

Without further adieu, here is the infographic of LinkedIn profile tips. How does your own profile compare?

    Great tips, Neal. Found them kind of ironically on Pinterest of all places. Small edit suggestion: ado, not adieu. Keep up the good work!

    Great post Neal! Regarding Tip #15 about Recommendations, here’s a quick and easy way to double your pleasure!

    It’s a step that literally takes about 5 seconds. You go to your LinkedIn profile, find your existing recommendations, then snap a screen shot of them. Next, jump onto your website, and insert the screen shot image of your LinkedIn recommendations onto your site as a JPG or whatever.

    BOOM! Instant credibility, and best of all, you’ve got recommendations from REAL PEOPLE, complete with names, photos, job titles, companies, etc. Since these testimonials are already displayed on your public LinkedIn profile, there’s no reason you can’t copy and paste them onto your website as well if you ask me! :)

      Hey John, thanks for your comment. Well, that only works for professionals who have their own website, but I agree that once recommendations are for public display on LinkedIn, they can be displayed elsewhere in whatever format you want.

      There are many ways of establishing credibility. Within LinkedIn recommendations are best, but outside of LinkedIn there are many avenues available to you.

    Neal,

    Thanks for sharing the tips. I know LinkedIn continues to enhance its features and changes things. Did they change the headline character count from 120 to 110? If so, would be nice if they communicated these changes better!

      Thanks Ellie! Don’t know if they changed it, but if they did it’s probably a response to all those professional headline keyword-stuffers out there!
