I just received an email notifying me that I had one of the most viewed LinkedIn profiles for 2012. And I wasn’t alone, I have been flooded with emails over the last few days from people thanking me because they too received an email similar to this after implementing the many optimization strategies I teach.

After LinkedIn reached the 200 million member milestone, it seems that things have continued to get better and better for the professional network. There has been a truckload of recent updates ranging from LinkedIn endorsements, the ability to follow major thought leaders and even a complete profile makeover.
Most Viewed LinkedIn Profiles: How To Make It In 2013
Hopefully you have been following our posts for the past year and have implemented strategies taught in our webinars and articles – as many of you have and sent me a message to let me know that you were one of the most viewed LinkedIn profiles for 2012.
Even if you didn’t make it to LinkedIn’s top 10%, 5% or 1% for 2012, you will have a fighting chance for 2013 if you implement a couple critical strategies that get you noticed.
- Complete your entire profile. I guarantee you anyone who wasn’t one of the most viewed LinkedIn profiles for 2012 did not do this. This is non-negotiable! Go here to find out why.
- Optimize your profile for specific keywords that your target market uses when seeking out your services. Read this blog if you need help mastering this part.
- Engage in groups. Another way to get people interested enough to check out your profile is to engage in LinkedIn groups. Provide as much value and thoughtful discussion as possible in relevant groups that contain your target market.
- Personalize! Personalize all messages when interacting with anyone on LinkedIn (or anywhere online for that matter). Never resort to LinkedIn’s default messages!
- Don’t make any of these mistakes.
