You never listen to me

I’m preparing for the next Linked Accelerator class, so I was scanning through some old emails I wrote in 2015.

I can’t believe how bad I was at writing emails in 2015.

Great tips, but the emails were boring as hell.

As I read them, I could hear a monotone, robotic, boring voice.

That’s not the point of today’s email, so let me get back to my story.

I could cut and paste tips from 2015 and you would never know (other than my bad writing).

As I scanned emails from 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023, there are three mistakes people make on LinkedIn.

The same three mistakes.

Can you guess what the three mistakes are?

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know the mistakes.

You may even be sick of me talking about them.

Let me give you a hint.

“You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.”

Mistake #1

How old is your profile picture?

I’ll admit I need new headshots, but my photo is professional.

Do yourself a favor against a blank wall and take a selfie right now.
