 Hi, this is George. Welcome back to the LinkedIn course on how to gain more clients using LinkedIn as a solopreneur. So here we are back at the mind map. And what we have talked about thus far, what we've been going over is filling out your LinkedIn profile. Now, one thing that I have just added since the last video was about your profile photo. Okay. And the profile photo, your profile photo on LinkedIn, you know, a lot of people use a quote, unquote professional or corporate look, you know, for example, on my, on my LinkedIn, on my LinkedIn, this is my current photo. As you can see here, it's very, it's a suit and it's me in a suit and a tie. And the irony of this, I took this photo six years ago when I began my coaching business. And at that time, I was doing coaching and more talking to people about their finances and about their work productivity. And so I wanted to come across this more professional in terms of, you know, I'm, I'm an MBA, I know business well and all that. My business has evolved a lot since then. I am much more casual now in my, in my outfit, I have uploaded about 70 video training videos on YouTube and all of them are me in casual outfit. And so I'm going to be updating my photo in the next couple of weeks, I hope I just, I just took some photos with a photographer actually this past weekend. And I don't know how long it's going to take for those photos to be available, but I'm going to be updating my photos. So it's much more, it's less, much less business like and much more of the real me in my videos. And so that's something that you should really think about is how do you want to come across? What kind of people do you want to attract to you? And when you attract them to you, what is the first impression you want to give them? For some of you, it may be business suit and tie corporate type of look. But for some of you, it is, for example, if you are a holistic healer, or maybe you talk to people about spiritual issues, your outfit may be maybe more, much more spiritual, maybe softer, you know, or maybe you are a designer of some kind and you want to look a lot more colorful in your profile photo. So remember that the profile photo is really important. It's one of the things that is most seen on LinkedIn when it comes to searching for you. And so you wanted to represent the feeling of your personal brand. Okay. And one way that you can get feedback about your profile photo is ironically going to Facebook because right now up to this point in the course, we haven't yet talked about adding connections. Now, some of you may already have some connections on LinkedIn, but some of you don't. And so I'm not going to expect that you, you know, really, one of the best ways to get, if you already have connections on LinkedIn, okay, let's say you already have connections, then you may actually want to publish a post on LinkedIn. Okay. So quick. So you see what I did? I went back to home. Okay. And then I clicked on publish a post. And then you can actually then, while I'm waiting for this to look, you can then, you know, don't, don't, don't upload anything here. But here in the, in the section, you can say, which LinkedIn, which photo should I use for my LinkedIn profile profile? Right. And then here you can say, here's version one. Here's version two. How I'd like to come across is, is it need to just describe, you know, describe that, you know, I want to come across, for example, for me, I'm going to come across as being approachable. I want to come across as being successful and yet approachable and warm because that's how people, you know, my, my clients describe me as warm, approachable, smart, caring. So that's kind of how I want to come across. And so that's, and then here, you know, I would upload a photo. You can click on ad image and you upload an image of one profile version. And here's a second profile version. And then, you know, once you've finished doing that, you can click on publish. Maybe I'm going to reuse the screen a little bit. You click publish. And what this happens is this goes out to your LinkedIn connections and it actually goes out publicly as well. But it's okay if it goes out publicly because, well, you have to think about that. But I think probably either photo you, you, you give people an option for maybe there's a version three as well. It's probably going to look okay. And once you get some comments and votes, you can decide to come back and delete your posting and the way to delete a posting. This is, for example, a posting I made. If I want to delete this posting, I just click on delete. Okay. And you might be wondering, well, how do I get back to my postings? Well, when you click on profile and then you scroll down, you will find a section that says posts. And that's actually going to be one of the top, one of the top sections. And then this is how you can find your postings. And when you go into the postings, you can delete it there. So that's one way. I'm sorry. When you get into a posting, you can click on the posting. Okay. Actually, no. Okay. Sometimes you have to click edit post. And when you click edit post, you can then delete the post. Okay. So the other way, if you don't have connections on LinkedIn already, you can go to Facebook and ask your Facebook contacts. You can click on this, for example, in Facebook. And probably you already have Facebook friends. So click on add a photo and you can add multiple photos on Facebook. I'm not going to do it right now, but you can add more than one photo and says, Hi, friends, I'm updating my LinkedIn profile profile and wondering which one you feel best expresses me in these characteristics that I'd like to come across as you know, warm, approachable, smart, caring, you know, et cetera, et cetera. So so business savvy, you know, so that's what that's probably what I would probably I would say my man is a spiritual. So you could do that at photos and ask your friends and get their comments. And once you once you get some votes, you can check in with your with your own intuition about whether you believe you want to go with the top vote or not. And then finally go to your LinkedIn profile. And the way to upload upload your photo is to click on profile. And then if you haven't uploaded anything here, you would be able to click here. It's probably will say upload photo. Or if you already have a photo, you want to change it and click on here. So I hope that helps. And, you know, you can use this course, this Udemy course community as a way to ask people as well and give people their feedback on there. So please feel free to comment on this module and ask people to give you their opinion on whether you think actually, in fact, I think in our Udemy, you can, you know, I'm actually logged in as a as an instructor so I can't see the X. But I think in the, let me actually go back to the course and see if I can add a discussion. There we go. Add a discussion. Yes, you can actually insert images. And I wonder if you can insert more than one. So I'm just going to, I'm just going to, I don't know, I'm just gonna take a quick screenshot. And I'm gonna insert an image here. And I'm gonna see if I can insert another image. Just gonna kind of random screenshot here and see if I can insert another image here. Okay. Okay. Yes, I can actually insert multiple images. So if you want feedback from the community about this, you can go in and add a discussion to this module. I'm not sure if you can add a discussion specifically for the module, but you can add a discussion in general to the course and say, Hey, which one do you think best expresses the characteristics I'm looking for? And you may want to even give a link to your LinkedIn profile if you know how to do that. That's coming in one of the future videos if you don't know how. And by the way, I should let you know that I'm not able to always respond quickly on my on the LinkedIn course. But if you see other people submitting discussions, please, please do reply and help them out and be seen as a helpful star in in our course community. So with that, I look forward to sharing with you the next module. And as always, the most important thing besides learning is applying what you learn. Okay. So until the next episode, take care.
