Most people think an “optimized” LinkedIn profile means:• A good headline• A solid About section• A decent profile photoThose things matter.But they are not what actually moves people to trust you or take action.In this training, I break down the three most overlooked pieces of an optimized LinkedIn profile that quietly do the heavy lifting for you.1. Your background banner- This is prime real estate.- It should instantly tell someone:- Who you help, what problem you solve, and why they should keep reading.If your banner is generic, decorative, or empty, you’re leaving authority on the table.2. Your featured content sectionThis is not a place for random links.- It should function like a conversion hub:- A resource, guide, newsletter, or next step that helps someone move from interest to action without a sales pitch.This section works for you 24/7 when it’s intentional.3. LinkedIn recommendationsSocial proof is not optional.- Recommendations tell your story from someone else’s mouth.- They remove doubt, build credibility, and validate your expertise in a way no About section ever could.When these three pieces are aligned, your profile stops being a resume and starts working like a business asset.If your profile gets views but not conversations, these are usually the missing pieces.Don't forget to register for our Amateur to Expert 5 Day Workshop here: https://www.thetimetogrow.com/AtoEonLinkedinWorkshop

Most people are heading into 2026 thinking they need to do more on LinkedIn.- More posts.- More formats.- More features.- More noise.- That’s not the move.In this episode, “The Three Priorities You Must Have on LinkedIn in 2026,” I break down what actually drives visibility, engagement, and revenue moving forward, and what you can safely stop overcomplicating.Here’s the truth:LinkedIn doesn’t reward hustle.It rewards clarity, consistency, and connection.The three priorities every professional needs dialed in are:1. First, your LinkedIn profile.If your profile doesn’t clearly communicate who you help, how you help them, and why it matters, no amount of content will convert. Your profile is not a resume in 2026. It’s your positioning page.2. Second, who you’re connecting with.Growth is not about adding more people. It’s about adding the right people, ideal clients and business allies who can lead to conversations, collaborations, referrals, and opportunities. Random connections dilute results.3. Third, and most importantly....your content.Not content for likes.Not content for trends.But content that builds know, like, and trust.Quality content is what turns visibility into credibility.Credibility into conversations.And conversations into revenue.If your content doesn’t engage the right audience in the right way, nothing else works.This episode walks through how these three priorities work together as a system, and how to simplify your LinkedIn strategy so it actually supports your business goals in 2026.If you want LinkedIn to stop feeling noisy, unpredictable, or exhausting, start here.Click HERE if you'd like to register for our "Amateur to Expert on LinkedIn" 5-Day workshop from Jan 26th - 30th.

You can have up to five LinkedIn newsletters.But just because you can doesn’t mean you should.This is where a lot of people get tripped up.In this episode, I explained why I do not recommend running multiple LinkedIn newsletters for most people. More newsletters do not equal more authority. In many cases, they actually dilute it.There is only one scenario where I would suggest having more than one newsletter:When you serve clearly split demographics with clearly split problems.For example:One audience is current and former military professionals focused on financial benefits.Another audience is small business owners focused on insurance benefits.Those are two completely different conversations. Different needs. Different language. Different outcomes.In a case like that, running two newsletters can make sense.Here’s how it should work if you ever go this route:One newsletter is dedicated solely to financial benefits for military professionals.The second newsletter is dedicated solely to insurance benefits for small business owners.You then create a bi-weekly cadence so you are not overwhelming yourself or your audience.Example schedule:• Finance newsletter goes out weeks one and three• Insurance newsletter goes out weeks two and fourThat structure keeps your content focused, consistent, and intentional.But here’s the key point I want to be very clear about:Before you even think about launching a second or third LinkedIn newsletter, you should fully optimize your first one.That means:• A clear audience• A clear promise• Consistent publishing• Strong positioning• A purpose beyond “just posting content.”One strong newsletter will outperform five unfocused ones every time.Master one. Build momentum. Then and only then decide if expanding actually serves your audience and your business.Clarity beats complexity.
