#TheLinkedInGuru is not a real company.

Sometimes when I have introduced myself as #TheLinkedInGuru (Teacher) I have jokingly said that GURU stands for "General Understanding, Relatively Useless". Well, I believe GURU stands for "Gets to Uncover the Real Usefulness" instead.

Since I retired at the end of 2007, my focus has been volunteering and devoting my time to being a Professional Networker / LinkedIn Guru (Teacher), teaching Networking and LinkedIn and I have trained thousands of professionals in how to maximize their networking skills and best utilize networking tools.

Networking is the life-blood that feeds the process of building relationships. Networking is important in all aspects of our lives. I believe that LinkedIn is one of the best tools available to help you find the right people, connect with them and build long-term relationships. That's what I do and that's what I can help you do.

★★ As a Professional Networker and LinkedIn Guru, I have provided nearly 200 free LinkedIn workshops in the last three years. ★★

I'm excited about being able to contribute to the community in so many different areas!

This group is in support of the #DecidetobeKind movement by Shelly Elsliger to ensure that LinkedIn remains a safe and prosperous place for everyone who wants to own space on LinkedIn to tell their story.  This is a movement made up of movers, shakers, and influencers banning together to build community and to do all we can to increase awareness around the trolls and bullies who want to exert power and manipulate people on the LinkedIn platform. This community is worldwide and together we will make it better-Our voices will be heard and we are ultimately #Inittogether

Let's come together and wear our wristbands to show that we are #inittogether and we say "NO" to bullying on LinkedIn

Malka Bendor:

Jeff Young, #TheLinkedInGuru has impacted literally hundreds of job seekers (if not more) who attend his LinkedIn workshops at Jewish Family Services and across Central Ohio. In today's job search world the LinkedIn tool is key to success and Jeff is the master educator, navigating us through what could be a complex, sensitive and overwhelming topic. His teaching style, his subject matter expertise, his patience and ability to hold the attention of an entire room is quite amazing. There is always something new to teach as LinkedIn is updated so frequently and Jeff does not let his students and "fan club" miss a beat. He lights up our room on a monthly basis and gives everyone the confidence they need to build a great profile and the tools to keep refining it! I am so grateful and thankful everyday that Jeff is part of the Jewish Family Services "family" of speakers.

#TheLinkedInGuru #GuruGoodNews LinkedIn Tip of the Week: Video is a Very Powerful Form of Content.

Everyone has heard the phrase that a picture is worth a thousand words, right?  Well, a moving picture (video) is worth even MORE out here on LinkedIn.

Folks in my network know that I don't post very many videos.  That's because video is not my favorite type of content out here, but I STILL realize that it is very effective and meaningful.

That's why my advice this week is to try to create video and share it every once in a while.  If nothing else, it is a nice change of pace for what you share.

This week I am sharing a short 30 second video that I used for what LinkedIn used to call a "Profile Video".  LinkedIn removed this feature about 2 and a half years ago.

Raise your hand if you remember Profile Video and still have yours!

This brief video is a great way of telling folks who you are and what value you offer.

So, what do you think of mine?  Please let me know in the comments.

Will you be creating and/or sharing your video out here?  If you do, please mention me in your post because I would love to see your version.

#TheLinkedInGuru #GuruGoodNews LinkedIn Tip of the Week:  Manage Your Active Status on LinkedIn

Did you know that you can manage who can see you if you are active on LinkedIn?

It shows up as a "green dot" when folks look at you in Messaging or Notifications.

It's really easy to do with this setting:

https://lnkd.in/gRBuZthq

I've chosen to allow "All LinkedIn members" to see that I am on the platform while I am out here.

Other options are:

- Your connections only and
- No one

Although you can hide your active status , I recommend that you let everyone know you are here because it can lead to more engagement and more conversation on your content and comments.

BTW, LinkedIn says it is important to know that "LinkedIn may use data relating to your activity on LinkedIn to personalize our services, so that they can be more relevant and useful to you and others."

How are you set up to show your active status?  Please comment and let me know your reasons.

#TheLinkedInGuru #GuruGoodNews LinkedIn Tip of the Week: Live from New York!  It's... "High Five" Things You Can Do To Be More Effective on LinkedIn

Here's a quick list of 5 things you should check out whether you are new to LinkedIn or a long-time LinkedIn user:

1) Change your URL to remove the "gobbledy-gook" default characters and make it just your name or your name and a part of your brand.

https://lnkd.in/gkZmdYv8

2) Make sure your Profile is written (especially your About Section) in 1st person. You wouldn't refer to yourself in 3rd person so make sure all the text on your profile is like a conversation with the person who visits.

https://lnkd.in/g9ye_Jg4

3) Change your Professional Headline to state your unique value proposition and include strategic keywords. DON'T use special characters because they might hinder your getting found.

https://lnkd.in/gjnzXBAr

4) Update your Profile Photo. There is nothing worse that seeing a "blank" gray icon here and also make sure that your photo is visible to "Anyone" (even people who are not on LinkedIn).

https://lnkd.in/g74iKEgZ

5) Make sure you have filled in and made available as much information as you can in your "Contact Info" Section as possible. Consider including things like websites, phone number, address, and Email if you are comfortable showing this information. It will help others contact you if they are interested in what you have to offer.

https://lnkd.in/gqxWrwky

What else would you recommend as a "High Five" change to make on your profile. Please let me know in the comments!

#TheLinkedInGuru #GuruGoodNews LinkedIn Tip of the Week: Be a LinkedIn ROCKSTAR

Over 5 years ago I created an acronym for the community of people listed in the document below that exemplified what I thought were best practices on LinkedIn.

That acronym and that community of people are still going strong all these years later because in the end it has never really been about numbers.

It has been about building REAL relationships with REAL people.

If you want to really get involved, build a network and make a difference on LinkedIn, then be a R-O-C-K-S-T-A-R like this folks:

“R”eal desire to help
“O”utstanding knowledge
“C”aring attitude
“K”ind and giving
“S”uper connections
“T”rust your network
“A”ctively engage
“R”elationship builder

A huge shout out to Brenda Meller🥧 for her devotion and commitment to creating this list such a long time ago and creating such wonderful memories.

#TheLinkedInGuru #GuruGoodNews LinkedIn Tip of the Week:  Only Use a Trusted Partner for Marketing on LinkedIn.

Did you know that there is a long list of trusted solutions partners that you can use to help you market your business on LinkedIn?

The list even includes some long-time players like Adobe, Canva, and Hootsuite.

And, most important, and the GOOD NEWS is all of these solutions are APPROVED for use with LinkedIn.

For the entire current approved list please take a look at this link:

https://lnkd.in/g9vkn7M2

Now for the BAD NEWS... if you are using a package that is NOT on this list then you are in violation of LinkedIn's Terms of Service and your account could be restricted.

As many of my other LinkedIn collaborators put it "If it's NOT on the list... you must resist"!

Do you have a favorite from the list that you use?  Please let me know in the comments and help others discover something new.
