Making Money Through LinkedIn

With approximately 875+ million users in 200 countries, LinkedIn is the world’s largest business-oriented search engine. However, most LinkedIn members see it as nothing more than a place to post their online resumes. They apparently hope that others will find their resumes among the digital pile.

Every minute, 3 people find a job on LinkedIn. Obviously, LinkedIn is not only a social media platform. Some users have a habit of looking at LinkedIn only for a job, even though uploading your online resume and finding a job is not the only way to make money on LinkedIn.

A Professional Headshot 

One thing that draws people to your page is your profile and photo. You can receive 21 times more profile views and more messages just from the look of your profile photo. Cropped photos from parties you went to with friends or wedding receptions do not improve your professional image. You might think it is okay to add some casual pictures, but in reality, it will only hurt your professional look. Imagine if a financial adviser uploads a blurred selfie as their profile photo. Would you trust them? The same applies to you. To upload a professional headshot picture to find a better job.
