🌟 Updated LinkedIn Profile video 👉🏻 • 5 MUST-KNOW LinkedIn P...
In this video, I share my top 5 tips for creating an amazing LinkedIn profile! These profile tips range from how to have a professional looking profile photo and LinkedIn background banner (using free tools) to how best to complement your resume with your LinkedIn profile.
I also show you how I optimize my LinkedIn account: what to put in the “About” summary section, what to write in your experiences section, and how to get your own LinkedIn custom URL. Nowadays, having a professional, relevant, and searchable LinkedIn profile is more important than ever.
Instead of staying high level (aka vague), I dive into my own LinkedIn profile and show examples of other great profiles and walk you through step by step on how to create a similar look and feel, while highlighting your own character and professional experiences.

Should our profile picture match the background? Same color?
Matching but not the same color! For example light tones across the two would be good, or if you really wanna get creative you can "extend" your profile picture into the background but might not look good on mobile!
I have been following your other great videos and saved this to be watched later. Curious for your opinions about my profile before taking your advise from this video. 🍙
@@AustinDesigner Hi Felix! Sure, let me search you up on LinkedIn and DM you directly :)
Hey Jeff, I’d love for you to give some feedback on my LinkedIn!
You know what ? The background you selected went premium now… That’s the reach of the content! Congrats Dude👏
I just released a new LinkedIn profile video, the background is still free!
LinkedIn is my FAVORITE platform for landing clients! Great video.
Thanks Megan! Glad you found it helpful 😁
Loved every single second in this video Jeff! - your energy, your demonstration, and of course the pro tips... This is by far the best Linkedin video for me!
Thank you so much Suong! Thanks for the kind comment 😁
You give the best advice for those looking to "upgrade" their careers or even change careers completely, like I am doing. Thank you so much for your amazing content!
Glad to hear it Tatia, thank you so much!
First few minutes of the first video of yours I was watching seemed a little too corporate/generic but there are so many useful tips in these videos. I'm coming from years in an industry abroad where LinkedIn is not a thing and it's all about archaic job posting sites and networking, so getting my LinkedIn and resume back up to snuff for an American job market has been daunting.
Well I hope these videos are helpful to you!
Jeff, you make the process more clear and easy! Many thank. Love!
Happy to hear it Yaryna 😁
This video deserves millions of likes, You've just saved me weeks of researching and browsing.
Hahaha well I'll settle for just 1 one like from you for now 😉
That first type is such a Gem 💎 and you’re definitely the person I’ve seen thus far to actually SHOW how to make a profile and background image. It was so simple to do but it made a HUGE DIFFERENCE!! Keep educating the public, it’s truly appreciated!!
This is the kind of comment I LOVE to hear Jermaine, thank you 😁
@@JeffSu yes man you are the only one keep it up
you are really changing my life. I saw your notion videos a few weeks ago and they were a life changer, and now that i'm applying to summer internships I came across your resume, cover letter, and linkedin videos. you are sooooooo helpful and to the point. subscribed and i hope the best of luck and blessing to you!!!! i'll come back if i land a summer internship cuz u deserve all the credit :))
Wooohoooo I'm glad to hear it!!! Best of luck my friend 😁
Great tips Jeff - I agree that the 'about section' should complement not repeat what is on your resume. Very useful tips.
Thank you! Glad you found it useful :)
Hey Jeff! Thanks for the tips. I liked the importance of putting up quantifiable business impact and its alternatives!
Glad to hear it Abdul! Yes it's extremely important!
This was very helpful for getting my LinkedIn profile started, thank you!
That's great to hear, thanks Bodidiva!
Super helpful info. I literally took into consideration every tip given and can already see the difference on the outlook of my profile.
Happy to hear that Yolanda! Hope it works well for you 😁😁
Thanks so much for this Jeff! I am enjoying the fact that most of the tips are comprehensive and no more than 10 minutes. 😁
Thank you for letting me know Azalea!! 😁
I’m so glad I saw your video today. I actually went in and updated my LinkedIn account. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos and learning a lot more from you. 👊
That's great Sadaf! I hope you like your updated LinkedIn Profile (even) more now!
Great tips here! One way I like to personalize my LinkedIn profile is to customize/design my own background image. I include things that people may not generally see in my actual profile.
Yes! 100% agree, that's why canvas is such a powerful tool!
Thank you, these are great tips. I love how you just throw together a designed photo almost effortlessly. I'm going to spend hours on it! =)
It means you're gonna have an amazing profile pic!! Let me know how it turns out 👌👌
Right like man I have troubles editing and Instagram photo LOL
your videos are visually so calming to watch.
Thanks Mark! Hope not so calm that's making you fall asleep :)
This video was so helpful, thank you Jeff. My LinkedIn profile is still a work in progress but I've changed my profile pic and background using the tips in this video. It's already looking more professional. Canva is a great tool. Thanks again, Jeff.
That's awesome to hear Jacintha, glad you found value from this!
The world cloud generator tip is absolutely helpful! Thanks, Jeff!
Glad to hear it my friend!
This is extremely useful for me, Jeff! As I'm going to apply for my internship soon. Thanks for this amazing content!
Glad to hear it Ivy, best of luck!!
Jeff, you have given me the best advice to touch up my LinkedIn profile! Thank you so much!
Glad to hear it Anthony!
Hi Jeff, your videos helped me greatly with setting up my LinkedIn profile! I appreciate all your content! Thank you!
Glad to hear it Mel! Hope you like the new profile!
I just updated my profile yesterday and was doubtful.
Great to see I am on the right track! Awesome video.
You earned a subscriber!
Woohooo thank you Asad! Glad you found these tips helpful 😁
What are your thoughts on this: I have a short three minute video about myself from my previous job. It goes into my past life as an athlete and how that correlates into the workplace now, basically. How do I weave that into a message to connect type of thing… I feel like I need some thing to stand out and not get lost in the mix… Especially with these huge huge tech companies where I live.
A video intro will definitely help you stand out! But to be honest 3 minutes might be a little long, something 30 seconds - 1 minute might be better at keeping your audiences' attention :)
Can we see the link so we can give feedback
Hi Jeff! These are amazing tips that I’m going to jump right on now to make my LinkedIn profile looks sweeter ✊🏽
Awesome to hear Hazim, let me know how it goes :)

Glad to hear it!
Thank you Jeff for the great tips. I don't understand any of them but I will muddle through. One of my strengths is my ability to figure things out. I am still quite new to the information super-highway. I'm very glad I stumbled across your videos.
That's great to hear Keli! Best of luck!!!!!!
Love your video. Very illustrative. Optimizing your LinkedIn profile increases your rank in the algorithm and helps you appear in better search results on LinkedIn and even Google. Love LinkedIn and enjoy educating people on how to use LinkedIn for their service based business.
Yes! Couldn't agree more!

Jeff, how do you do it man? I went from not knowing you a few hours ago, to understand your productive tips ( that are really useful btw ), can relate to your humor and subscribed to your channel. hahaha really well done and looking forward to your next videos. :)
It's thanks to awesome and supportive viewers like yourself Tim!! Glad you find these videos useful + relatable!! 😁😁
Thank you Jeff. This content is really helpful.
Glad to hear it my friend! You're very welcome 😁
Hi there Jeff. Just wanted to thank you for your tips and tricks. I have shared this information with folks around me and you are getting more thumbs up than my two hands can count... Great !
Wow, thank you for being an advocate for this video my friend. I really appreciate it 😁
Great tips Jeff! I noticed the LinkedIn Summary example you provided is short and concise. Is this more effective than some other summaries I see that go into more detail about their motivations, unique skills or even adding a quote that suits them?
To be extremely honest, my own LinkedIn Summary isn't the best because I'm NOT actively job searching. If I were, I would actually write a much more comprehensive (but still to the point) summary highlighting one key strength of mine that differentiates me from the crowd. I might do a video on this topic in the future!
Hey Jeff!, thank for this amazing content and tips for making connection these one have been really effective for me and hope to see more amazing content like this, thank you, Cheers!
You're very welcome Parth! I'll try my best to keep it up 😁
Hi Jeff - amazing content all around. Are you planning on doing another Q&A session when you hit 2K? “WE” are all looking forward to it!
I don't know David, I think I need proof that "WE" are all looking forward to it
He about to hit 50k now🤯
@@IvanaMankir I know!!! DAMN! blowin up!
@@IvanaMankir 100k now!
