Get started on LinkedIn with Kylie Chown
Are you using LinkedIn to its full potential?
Many of us have a profile that we set up ages ago that just details our work history. But you can actually use LinkedIn as a business owner as another arrow in your quiver of social media platforms to reach a wider audience.
In this episode, I’m chatting with the award-winning Kylie Chown, founder of My Digital Brand. Kylie is a LinkedIn strategist and social media trainer who was awarded Best Use of LinkedIn from the Social Media Marketing Institute, Mentor of the Year and Australia’s first Certified Social Media Crisis Advisor along with many other spectacular achievements.
I worked with Kylie to set up my own LinkedIn profile and she helped me understand how to grow my audience and business using this remarkable platform.
Kylie is listing her top tips and steps to set up a profile that stands out, generates sales, grows your audience and is SEO friendly. I’m so grateful to have her on the show today to share all her expertise with you!
