LinkedIn Marketing
What are six ways to make your LinkedIn profile more inclusive and promote diversity?
LinkedIn offers six practical steps to build an inclusive personal brand. First, add pronouns to your name to demonstrate respect and avoid gender assumptions. Second, include name pronunciation guidance to help connections properly address you. Third, make your profile public for better visibility and networking. Fourth, customize your profile URL for easier sharing and memorability. Fifth, add descriptive alt text to images for accessibility to visually impaired users. Finally, diversify your recommendations to represent various demographics and organizations, helping potential clients see themselves working with you. These steps foster mutual respect while making your profile more accessible to everyone.

To measure LinkedIn post impact, track impressions from posts and correlate them with Google search queries for your brand. This creates a leading indicator showing how posts drive website traffic - visible spikes in brand searches can be directly linked to specific LinkedIn content. For confirmation, examine direct website traffic and implement self-attribution by asking new contacts how they discovered you. This approach helps distinguish between different content types, with client videos typically having longer-lasting impact compared to regular posts, which often create quick spikes followed by decline.

Traditional LinkedIn outreach is failing because 99% of B2B messages use generic cold pitches that people automatically ignore or delete. These tactics only target the 3% of prospects actively seeking solutions. Instead, successful businesses are using a micro-engagement strategy focused on positioning rather than pitching. This approach involves getting on prospects' radar before messaging them, optimizing profiles for instant credibility, and asking strategic questions instead of selling immediately. By engaging with prospects' content first and providing value, businesses build authority and trust, making prospects come to them rather than chasing leads. This strategy transforms cold outreach into warm conversations with response rates exceeding 50%.

The Dream 100 concept, originated by Russell Brunson, is a strategic approach to connecting with influential people on LinkedIn. Rather than directly targeting your ideal 100 people (who would likely ignore you), you connect with people in their network first. When you connect with people in their networks, you increase your visibility to your dream connections. This strategy works because the LinkedIn algorithm shows content to users whose connections engage with it. By focusing on strategic connections within your space who are interested in similar content, you improve engagement rates and algorithmic performance. Eventually, this network-building approach leads to connecting with your dream connections directly, helping you build organic impressions and attract high-quality leads without cold messaging.

LinkedIn messages get better responses when you understand the platform's indicators and use psychology effectively. The green circles in your inbox provide crucial information - hollow green means the person has mobile push notifications on, while solid green indicates they're currently online. By prioritizing messages to people who are active, your response rate can triple overnight. Using audio messages creates intrigue like a mysteriously wrapped present, making people eager to respond. The technique makes connections feel seen and respected, which significantly increases engagement rates compared to the common approach of random messaging.

Morgan J. Ingram outlines a strategic 90-day framework for building meaningful relationships on LinkedIn. The first 30 days focus on consistent engagement with potential connections' content - commenting, liking, and staying top-of-mind through quality interactions rather than asking for favors too soon. The second 30 days involve starting meaningful conversations about topics your connections are engaging with. This doesn't mean immediately jumping into direct messages requesting meetings, but rather asking relevant questions about their content to deepen the relationship naturally. In the final 30 days, you can explore opportunities for collaboration, meetings, or other valuable interactions once you've established trust. This patient approach leads to more genuine relationships that could connect you to potential clients, even if the person themselves isn't a direct prospect.
