The hardest part of my LinkedIn profile was writing my LinkedIn summary. Learn how I used my LinkedIn summary to go from 100 weekly LinkedIn profile views to now over 1000 weekly LinkedIn profile views. Remember to SUBSCRIBE for more videos like this.
I realize I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?
The 2-3 rule worked beautifully for my summary! Thank you! Time to add in my expertise section.
Love this one. Expertise in the summary. Boom. The 2-3 rule. L-O-V-E. Heather, you're LinkedIn tutorials are killer.
Hey, thanks Andy! I'm glad you like my LinkedIn tutorials. It's a platform I've really enjoyed using the past few years.
This is a great explanation of how to write a LinkedIn Summary. I see yours is already one of these great LinkedIn Summary Examples.
Thank you for your awesome videos. You saved me so much time (with regards to figuring out what to update in LinkedIn) and gave me the confidence I need to present myself to potential employers. Your videos are short and to the point packed with information. I definitely will recommend your videos to colleagues.
you are the best.Always ending with the soft things(personality) after the hard things(tech skills,job skills etc) is what gives the human touch and bonding.
loved it, short, clear, and to the point 👍👍
Thank you for these tips,
I am new on LinkedIn, I will keep these tips in my mind while creating profile summary.
Great tip about tailoring the summary towards the types of jobs you're interested in! Recruiters are very active on LinkedIn to find potential candidates and tailoring the summary is a great way to land interviews by making your profile work for you.
This is great advice for someone who's already been in the job market for several years.
Drives me crazy when people write their summaries in third person!!! We all know it's you, so write as yourself!
I know! The third person thing just kills me. I'm seeing less of it these days. Thanks for sharing.
Agreed. It seems so artificial and bland.
Exactly! I find it so weird.
Very helpful! Thank you heather!
I always go to you for fresh new and usable information when I am updating my Resume, Cover letter and or Profile.
Pauline, I love that you mentioned fresh information. It's so important to keep your marketing materials up-to-date with your latest accomplishments.
Very useful indeed, really intriguing. Thanks a lot professor
Nice LinkedIn growth 100 to 1000..now I got to work on my own profile
Thank you for this helpful tutorial.
This is so good! You are rocking the tutorials Heather!
Thank you my friend. So glad you like the tutorials. They are some of my favorite videos to create.

Hello! Your videos have helped so much!
I have a quick question: If as of now I'm doing photography as a hobby (eventually would want this to be my business) should I include hobbies under the summary section? Thanks in advance!
Super helpful tips for all business professionals!
Thank you for watching!
Good information for LinkedIn. Great tips
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you liked these LinkedIn tips.
Great tips! Especially the "attention grabbing" sentence. Everyone does have a short attention span!
Thanks for watching Christy. I don't know about you, but for me, my attention span is shrinking all the time. Lol!
You know Heather ... I am thinking of spicing up my linked in ... and it's all because of you! As soon as my course is going I think I will start to work on it. I love it, that we met here... and love your videos..... thank you for them and all your work. I'm paying attention! :D ~Elizabeth
Elizabeth, thanks so much watching my friend! I'm so excited for you to spice up your LinkedIn profile.
me too!
Heather, I've neglected LinkedIn for years, and it's now time to dust off that virtual desk! Thanks for the tips, I also signed up for your free 5-day course.
Teena, yea! I’m so glad to hear you’re dusting off your LinkedIn profile. We should connect over there.
I have published my first Linkedin post! Thanks for your timely video Heather :-)
Woderfull your video
Wow! This is so valuable! Thank you for sharing! Not gonna lie! I don’t have one but you convinced me to start one. 🙌
Hi there! Holy smokes, I can't believe you don't have a LinkedIn profile. You would kill it on that platform girl. Can't wait to see you over there. ;)
Professor Heather Austin I’m definitely going to get it done soon 😎😎❤️❤️❤️
0. Attention grabbing first sentence, keywords are important in the whole summary (SEO)
1. Write in First Person
2. Tailor your summary (to a specific position or industry)
3. Include expertise/specialties section (to be placed at the very end of the summary)
4. Keep your summary short and to the point (2-3 paragraphs with 2-3 sentences each)
5. Show your character (industry related hobbies and interests)
6. Include a call to action (website, portfolio, email address etc.)
Hello Professor Austin! I want to thank you sincerely for this good information. I believe your tips will help me truly. Especially your remarks about showing my personality. I might not have had the guts to be me if you didn’t share that info. I do have a little technical feedback. I listen to most of my UA-cam videos podcast style, in other words, I put on my headphones and lock my phone or iPad. There was a very noticeable bit of feedback in this video. This video was published in 2018 and we are in September 2019. So you might have resolved the issue in current videos. If you ever need help or advice on improving your videos and sound, hit me up.
I like seeing the different angle of your office toooooo Heather or should I say studio!
Yes, just playing around with different room in my house.
Looking at the summary section of my LinkedIn profile. Having two different degrees and wanting to practice in any of the fields makes it difficult to do up a good summary. Please what do you advice
Good tips......
Thanks!
This is good I have LinkedIn account...Thanks
Fantastic! So glad to hear you have a LinkedIn account. Do you have a summary?
Hi , love your videos on LinkedIn.. im a new user to LinkedIn.. how can i do the mini course
Your hair looks great. Great video
Hey, thanks! It's nice you noticed my hair.
It will be even more helpful if you have tips for fresh graduates without experience
Hi there Binay! Thanks for watching. I have more videos for you on my channel. Look around. You'll find what you're looking for.
I need to be on LinkedIn more, but UA-cam has been my main focus.
I hear you! I've been spending most of my time on UA-cam.
But this isn't a high net worth platform. The demographic is completely different.
Totally agree the summary is the hardest part and these tips are most helpful for anyone struggling. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Marta! The summary is difficult. I'm glad you agree and that you enjoyed these LinkedIn summary tips.
#greatjob
In point 2, you mentioned to tide your profile for a specific position. What about a career changer, that can have not only one position but severals?
Great question Alberto! Career switcher should tailor their profile to the position or industry they want to be in. Hope that helps my friend.
Thanks madam
Ok
All the best

Hi Heather, love your stuff!
I have a bit of a difficult one, How can i apply for 3 different jobs, using one profile? E.g. I want to apply for Personal Assistant, Marketing Assistant roles and Project Administrator roles.
Thanks for the tips. Have always wondered about first person vs third person. We see people doing both. Do you think #'s are effective on Linkedin?
Hi there! Thanks for watching. What do you mean by #'s? Do you mean quantifying your achievements?
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin No, I mean't hashtags.
she's on top, aww I see! Hashtags are becoming more and more effective on LinkedIn, especially if you add them to a post. However, I’m not sure if there searchable inside someone’s profile. I’ll do some research on it. Great question though!
Good video, this video is for professionals, but how would you do it for a company that wants to stand out in a competitive niche?
Fantastic question. The same principles apply to a business on LinkedIn. I would however recommend to go heavy on posting in the news feed. Post as much useful information as possible. Similar to what you would do with a business page on FB. Still to one post a day for a business. Does that help?
hi professor, i followed your step to write my summary , but i am unable add bullet points there and unable change my background photo
waiting for your response.. thanks...
Wonderful content - thank you! I am a small business owner - I can't utilize the "keyword phrases from job descriptions". Are there other sources that I could use as reference ( in a similar way)?
hello Dan, you absolutely can by searching for consultant job descriptions, these are similar or you can look at others in your industry and see the words they are using. you can also use the tool tagcrowd.com to get more insights into what keywords to use. Hope this helps
@@freedom20288 Great, Thank you!!
Hello
Thank you for your insightfully inspiring video
I need your help
I am struggling to do my summary. I am a recent business admin grad who is interested in multiple different industries/positions. I'm struggling to tailor because I don't know what I want exactly like most recent college grads. Any tips?
We want to use this video for a college course in Diet & Nutrition at Santa Rosa Junior College. Would you please grant us permission to caption the video so it has punctuation and clear sentences? If you turn on Community Contributions in UA-cam, we could add the better captions to these videos. Alternatively, we can send you a corrected caption file that you can upload in UA-cam. One more option is to use a site such as Amara.org that will embed the video and give us an interface to overlay the video with the better caption file.
All of these options leave the control in your hands. If you take down the video, it will no longer appear in the course, we will just be embedding from UA-cam, not downloading the video.
Hey there, wondering what if my experience is in insurance but I'm studying a post grad in Human Resources to be completed this yr. How do I sell myself as someone who wants to chamge career directions?
Hi Davies, congrats on taking the chance at switching careers, you can reflect your goals and aspirations to change careers by letting the reader know why you are changing careers, what was the pivotal moment that prompted you to switch, I recommend looking at job descriptions for the job you want and add those keywords int he summary and integrate them as that is what you want to do. best of luck and hop this helps.
I like the idea of showing my character on LinkedIn! Business profiles can be SO dry!
I agree Steven. Business profiles are not nearly as fun as more casual platforms like IG and FB.

Hello Mam, very important things u said. Thanks
Can you please suggest below thing?
I prepred my resume in 3 pages becuase i had 5 years of exp. And 4 companies i worked so that i mentioned my role and responsibilities under each company along with other details. So that it is extended to 3 pages. My doubt was if i have 8 years exp. What i have to do? Please mam reply. Can i extend pages or what?
Great question Pawan! My recommendation would be to stick to no longer than 2 pages (even with 8 years of experience. Mention only your most important accomplishments as they relate to the position you are applying for. Does that help?
Professor Heather Austin ok i will use most important accomplishments and reduce pages in Resume. Thanks alot Mam. You got my Q'n as content, Could you do video on this subject?
Pawan Angadi
Why?!
Five years of experience is the beginning of your life span of your entire career.
Wait until you are out here 10, 15, 25 years!
Constraint
Less is more
Use more charged and powerful phrases to say more with few words.
Cut, cut, cut 'n edit and cut some more.
Take a class in resume writing, consult with one of hundreds of resume writers and pay to have them give you important suggestions. Better to pay someone to write it one time then use this as a template of how to format it and word it.
Local US libraries have free resume writing volunteers for free. Submit your CV and they will critique it as many times as you want.
Like Tony Robbins says it's not about not having the resources, it's about not being resourceful enough.
Good luck.
Hi from India
Hello there! Thanks for watching from India. Glad you could stop by.
What about if you are still a student?
Gloria, focus on your accomplishments as a student. Mention club, memberships and organizations you were a part of.
It says its downloading but its not.
Perhaps try a different browser.

*I want to interview vedios*
Hey there! Take a look at my play lists about how to do well in an interview. This one is all about interview questions you may be asked: ua-cam.com/play/PLLuXVilepoVEfCGu9OxPZ_ilMR4We4TOW.html and This one is all about to ace your interview: ua-cam.com/play/PLLuXVilepoVEpbnKKuwIERcsvX110cGBX.html
Hi Heather, as usual, your hints are very helpful, congrats! I do agree with everything you've pointed out. It is indispensable for someone to get interested in your profile. However, to boost your page requires much more than this, do you agree? In your situation, for instance, you have this regular channel on youtube which gives you a very expressive contribution. For ordinary users like me and the majority of your audience, to hire a Premium Service should be a good option to put me in the top research positions when headhunters and potential clients are looking for potential candidates or partners; to make your own prospection and invite people for adding you should increase your network and visibility as well; to write articles for specifics communities should be also a good alternative.
Waldir, thank you for the conversation! Yes, I do agree that a good LinkedIn summary is only one method for increasing LinkedIn profile views. There are other methods, like you mentioned - news feed posts, writing articles, participating in groups, etc... However, I believe it all starts with a great summary. As soon as I really tailored my summary and made it keyword heavy, my profile views and connection requests increased substantially (even before UA-cam). I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Dear mam u had only spoken but viewer expecting practical not occur so video is not like sry mam but ❤️❤️ mam ur hard work
Shatp
Huh?
One-hundred profile views in one week to one-thousand? I'm lucky to get one profile view each week!
The key to multiplying those weekly views is posting and sharing content, publishing your own original content, and engaging with content from others within your network (especially those who are very well-connected). You'll go from that 1 view to 200+ very quickly.
This is worth $500 an hour. Trust me!!!
Hey! Thanks. So glad you think so. Are you on LinkedIn?
Don’t waste your time with the first 1:39 seconds
I am really sorry, I want to watch your video as I am sure it is informative. I can't get over how the background music is slower than your speech pattern; it is really distracting and I recommend to use something else.
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear you aren't able to watch. I never noticed the pattern of music to speech. You must have a good ear for sound. I do included captions on all my videos. Perhaps you can watch with the sound off. I wish you all the best with your LinkedIn profile.
Professor Heather Austin
Always reread your response before hitting SEND yes? Typos are unprofessional esp. from a native speaker of the language.
I understand completely what you mean. You don't have to be sensitive at all to hear how the volume, and tones, and tempo are too close to her voice.
It competes with her voice and message.
If you listen to recordings of VO from samples off of Edge Studio, you can hear how the mix is not competing with the voice. Maybe that will help. Edge studio trained me in VO work. Ed the owner was just a, solo act back then. It will definitely help.
Best of luck to you professor.
@@dannac_8888 Hi there! Thanks for the comment. I'm not perfect nor do I try to be. I like to respond to EVERYONE that leaves a comment. Due to the high volume of comments I get on my channel, I'm unable to double check my responses for error. I appreciate your concern though. 😀
@@dannac_8888 thank you for the recommendation. I truly appreciate. I'm always trying to make my videos better. Your suggestions will certainly help me with that. Stay well my friend!
Nice Video but please don't do the false commitment of FREE Course when it is not free.
Lol what...1000 views a week?! I get like 7-25 a month.
I love you.
will you marry me?
Can you write a Linkedin profile if you never had the possibility to work a normal serious job? If you are poor and forced to get just humble jobs (cleaner, carer), be an economic migrant in other nations, can you make a Linkedin profile to find an office job?? (if you have the right skills to get the office job)? The answer is NO. Linkedin is racist, structurally racist.
