LinkedIn: A Practical Guide to Optimizing Profile Views
()
About this ebook
The more people view your profile, the more opportunities you get. Many easy and practical tips are given to maximize your profile views. Some people get offers / opportunities almost every day because their profiles are viewed by hundreds of people every day.
An excellent profile is useless if you do not get enough profile views from prospects. All the time and efforts you invest are waste when no one views your profile.
Since the tips are simple, easy and doable, you will be able to start getting more profile views as soon as you start following these tips and techniques in right ways.
*** DO NOT read/buy this book if you have read/bought my other book “LinkedIn: A Practical Guide to Optimizing Profile, Networking & Profile Views” as this book is a part of my other book.

An Introduction
If you are interested in creating a more marketable LinkedIn profile, this practical guidebook can help you. This will also show you how to join the right groups and network better. Why is this important? If you follow certain rules, these can result in generating more leads, a better job, new customers, business partner, vendors etc. But if you fail to follow these, you might end in achieving too little, losing connections, turn away your potential employers.
I shall not only tell you the LinkedIn etiquettes but also show you how you can get more benefits from this network.
Before I start this chapter, I want you to watch this video. This video was made by LinkedIn on their 10th anniversary so that you can understand what some of their LinkedIn members aspire to accomplish in the future.
Chapter 1: Profile Optimization and Networking Benefits
In this chapter, I have tried to explain why you should invest time and efforts to optimize your profile and then to network with people to generate opportunities. I have written about many benefits. Every benefit may not be suitable for you. But I hope you will find one or more benefits suitable for you.
Chapter 2: Increase your profile views
In this chapter, you will come to know how you can increase profile views from people who are searching for people like you. The more interested people view your profile, the more opportunities you may get. People with high profile views have reported that they are contacted by more people with offers.
Chapter 3: Success stories – How others benefited from the techniques
In this chapter, you will see how other people became successful using one or more of the same tips I mentioned in this book. Their stories are amazing and very interesting to read. You can also do what they did. All these stories will give you clear idea
