WEBVTT 00:00.420 --> 00:06.450 Once you've updated your two profile images, the very next thing to do is to update your contact information 00:06.450 --> 00:10.140 and you can easily start doing that by clicking this little pencil right here. 00:10.470 --> 00:11.850 So let's do that together. 00:12.180 --> 00:15.540 You obviously would put your name no brainer. 00:15.690 --> 00:19.640 Then the headline is the first interesting spot to show you where it goes. 00:19.650 --> 00:22.810 I want to show you a profile where I'm not logged in. 00:22.830 --> 00:27.440 You see this top 1% Udemy instructor and three time Amazon best selling author. 00:27.450 --> 00:29.130 That's the byline right there. 00:29.130 --> 00:30.900 It goes right under your name. 00:30.900 --> 00:33.480 So it's very prominent and very important. 00:33.600 --> 00:37.290 And here is where you want to put the best thing about you. 00:37.290 --> 00:43.970 So if you're trying to sell something, this blurb should make you authoritative and trustworthy. 00:43.980 --> 00:50.190 If you are looking for a job, this should make you appear as the candidate that everybody should want. 00:50.670 --> 00:55.170 So let's see how I wrote mine and maybe you can see how you can create yours. 00:55.620 --> 01:04.290 Mine can be considered a tad bit long, so if you can create yours to fit on only one line, it makes 01:04.290 --> 01:05.550 it much more readable. 01:05.550 --> 01:07.410 Like this, one sentence like this. 01:07.620 --> 01:09.450 But two lines is fine. 01:09.780 --> 01:11.310 It just has to be very punchy. 01:11.310 --> 01:13.170 So let's click the pencil again. 01:13.380 --> 01:18.600 So even if you may be a modest person, this is a place where you should be not at all modest. 01:18.600 --> 01:21.990 This is a place where you need to put your absolute best foot forward. 01:21.990 --> 01:26.070 So in my case, I'm a successful Udemy instructor. 01:26.280 --> 01:32.490 Also, big numbers work, so I could put a large number of students that I have, but there will be 01:32.490 --> 01:33.690 a chance to do that later. 01:33.690 --> 01:34.740 So I don't do it here. 01:34.740 --> 01:36.360 But in any case, top 1%. 01:36.360 --> 01:41.160 Udemy Instructor and a three time, three time Amazon best selling author. 01:41.160 --> 01:44.190 I help businesses grow at Viacom. 01:44.490 --> 01:45.480 Pretty clear. 01:45.780 --> 01:46.800 Let's save this. 01:46.950 --> 01:49.140 Now, of course there is pronouns. 01:49.290 --> 01:53.220 You can always add yours or you can omit it as well. 01:53.550 --> 01:55.230 To some people this is important. 01:55.230 --> 01:56.970 To some people this is less important. 01:57.150 --> 01:59.730 So you can omit it at that part is fine. 02:00.030 --> 02:05.220 Then there are some basics like your education, your location. 02:05.460 --> 02:08.760 Notice it's not your main address, but it's just the general city where you are. 02:08.910 --> 02:14.100 And then when you get to the bottom, there's contact information and you can say edit contact info 02:14.100 --> 02:15.930 and it will give you a few more fields. 02:16.170 --> 02:21.420 Like you can add your phone number, you can add your birthday, you can add more websites. 02:21.420 --> 02:28.670 But I don't love this because if you add more websites instead of actually showing one URL like here, 02:28.680 --> 02:30.270 have a nice URL, probably me on that. 02:30.270 --> 02:33.720 Com to my website instead of just having a nice one url. 02:33.720 --> 02:39.270 If you have multiple websites, it will just say websites and then a person has to click the link to 02:39.270 --> 02:39.390 it. 02:39.390 --> 02:41.400 So I'm not a fan of that. 02:41.610 --> 02:50.070 So ideally we just have one website and there's not a lot of need to add your birthdate to your LinkedIn. 02:50.070 --> 02:56.160 So in general I prefer to omit the birthday and if you want people to more easily be able to reach out 02:56.160 --> 03:03.510 to you, you can add your instant messaging platform like Google Hangouts or whatever you use here. 03:03.660 --> 03:08.010 And essentially that's it for this area right here. 03:08.370 --> 03:12.570 And then on the bottom here on other services, there are some that I haven't used for a while, like 03:12.570 --> 03:14.550 S.F. hiking, San Francisco hiking. 03:14.850 --> 03:20.100 I'm going to click that and then you get some options for what to display on your profile. 03:20.100 --> 03:22.920 So I don't want to display this as have hiking. 03:23.100 --> 03:27.720 And this problem is also one that's my corporate brand that I don't really promote, so I don't want 03:27.720 --> 03:31.650 to display that it's up to you so you can go back. 03:31.770 --> 03:38.070 And another way to get to a lot of these options is from your profile right here on the top right, 03:38.070 --> 03:41.610 you'll go to settings and privacy and you'll get the screen. 03:41.610 --> 03:47.790 And then from here you can also go to Partners and services and then edit your Twitter. 03:48.180 --> 03:53.670 Now, in my case, I also have a hobby Twitter account for my music and obviously I want to promote 03:53.670 --> 03:53.790 it. 03:53.790 --> 03:58.650 But the question is, well, do I want to mix my music and my business? 03:58.650 --> 03:59.280 Twitter? 03:59.340 --> 04:00.750 And the answer is really? 04:00.750 --> 04:04.710 Not really, because I just want people to focus on my business. 04:04.710 --> 04:09.990 Because what if people don't like my music or make some negative judgments about it? 04:10.020 --> 04:11.010 It's benign music. 04:11.010 --> 04:13.410 It's not controversial, but, you know, people are different. 04:13.410 --> 04:20.610 So just to be safe, you don't win much by having people go like, wow, He also has an interesting 04:20.610 --> 04:27.900 hobby, but who knows how people judge you, So you may lose something if you put links to hobby accounts. 04:27.900 --> 04:31.560 So I would omit the hobby accounts and just keep it business. 04:31.770 --> 04:33.630 So essentially that's it. 04:33.840 --> 04:41.070 This is how to set up this blurb with all the information about you right below your images.
