This month we will answer the question of how to make your personal brand even stronger on LinkedIn? How to make sure that your profile helps to boost your value? 

It’s always one thing to say that you are the smartest and brightest in something, but in order to take it to a next level you might want others around you to stand behind this statement. 

For this you can use the LinkedIn “Recommendations” section. You can ask and give others recommendations — share your thoughts about the person’s strengths and value to others. 

Sounds like something to have on your profile? Absolutely! 

Go to your profile. If you don’t have this section already visible on your profile, then on the top part of your profile you can add it from the “Add profile section” button. 

You are either able to continue straight from there or need to move down on your profile to find the section. Simply push the + sign and pick the people you want to ask recommendations from.

You also need to select your relationship with the person, position during that time and write personalized messages for them to ask for their recommendation. 

And don’t worry — you are always able to review the recommendation before adding it to your profile for others to see 🙂 You are also able to hide them later on if you wish to (go to “Recommendations” and push the pencil button).

So who would you like to get a recommendation from? And who would you be willing to recommend from your side? 

Take action and boost your personal brand!✨
