Simple brand guideline = consistent + memorable profile
Step 1
Before You Start: Set Your Brand Guideline
- Define your brand colors (2–3 max) and use them consistently
- Choose 1–2 fonts and stick to them across posts, banners, and visuals
- Decide your visual style (clean, bold, minimal, etc.)
- Keep everything consistent: banner, posts, carousels, profile visuals
- -------------------------------
- DIY tip:
- Go to Pinterest and search your niche (e.g., “personal brand design”, “linkedin branding”)
- Save styles you like (colors, layouts, fonts)
- Pick 1 direction and stay consistent
Simple brand guideline = consistent + memorable profile
Step 2
LinkedIn Profile Picture Checklist
- Use a square image (1:1), min 400×400px (prefer higher), JPG/PNG under 8MB, sharp and not blurry
- Crop to head + upper shoulders, with your face taking ~70–80% of the frame
- Keep face centered, with slight space above; don’t cut chin or head
- Place eyes in the upper third and maintain direct eye contact
- Use a natural, relaxed expression with a slight smile (avoid stiff or exaggerated looks)
- Choose a clean, simple background (solid, soft gradient, or lightly blurred) with high contrast so your face stands out
- Wear simple, audience-appropriate clothing (avoid loud patterns or distractions)
- Test at small size: your face should be clearly recognizable when zoomed out
- Avoid full-body shots, busy backgrounds, low contrast, or distant crops
Clear 70–80% face + eye contact + clean background + good lighting + high contrast = works
Step 3
LinkedIn Banner Checklist
- Use correct size: 1584 × 396 px (4:1 ratio), high quality (JPG/PNG), not blurry
- Keep left side clean/empty (profile picture overlaps there)
- Place important text/content on the right or center-right area
- Avoid putting anything critical in corners (can get cropped on mobile)
- Add a clear positioning line (what you do + who you help) → Example: “I help founders turn LinkedIn into a client magnet”
- Use large, readable text (must be clear even on small screens)
- Keep text short and straight (no long paragraphs)
- Use high contrast colors (text should stand out instantly)
- Stick to 2–3 colors max (preferably your brand colors)
- Keep design clean and minimal (avoid clutter, too many elements)
- Use simple visuals/icons only if they support the message
- Align banner with your profile picture style (colors, tone, vibe)
- Maintain consistent personal branding
- Test on desktop + mobile to ensure nothing is cut off
- Zoom out test: message should be clear in 2–3 seconds
- Add a soft CTA (e.g., “See how →”, “DM me ‘Profile’”)
- Add social proof (e.g., “50+ founders helped”)
- Add a website or handle
Clear message + clean design + right-side placement + high contrast = effective banner
Step 4
LinkedIn Headline Checklist
- Clearly state what you do + who you help + result → (e.g., “I help founders get clients through LinkedIn”)
- Keep it simple and easy to understand (no jargon or fancy words)
- Focus on benefit/result, not just your job title
- Use keywords your audience searches for (helps visibility)
- Separate ideas with “|” or “•” for readability
- Keep it short and scannable (avoid long sentences)
- Make sure the first part is strong (shows before ‘see more’)
- Avoid generic lines like: → “Entrepreneur | Dreamer | Hustler”
- Match it with your banner and overall positioning
- Read it out loud: if it sounds confusing, simplify it
- Add credibility (e.g., “Helping 50+ founders”)
- Add CTA (e.g., “DM me ‘Profile’”)
Clear offer + specific audience + simple words = strong headline
Step 5
LinkedIn About Section Checklist
- Start with a strong hook in the first 2–3 lines (this is what people see first) → Speak directly to your audience or their problem
- Clearly explain who you help + what you help them achieve
- Focus on outcomes/results, not just what you do
- Keep language simple, direct, and human (no corporate tone)
- Show your process or how you work (gives clarity and trust)
- Add credibility if possible: → Results, numbers, clients, or experience
- Make it feel personal, not robotic → Talk like a real person, not a resume
- Guide the reader toward action: → “If you want help, reach out” or similar soft CTA
- Include relevant keywords naturally (helps discoverability)
-
Structure it for easy reading:
→ Short paragraphs (1–3 lines)
→ Use spacing (avoid big blocks of text) - Avoid: → Long life stories → Buzzwords and fluff → Copy-paste AI tone
Hook → Problem → Solution → Proof → Simple CTA = strong About section
Step 5
LinkedIn Featured Section Checklist
- Add only your best assets (quality > quantity)
- Aim for 3–6 items max (don’t overwhelm)
- Link to your resources/templates where relevant
- Include a mix of:
- Best posts (high value or high engagement)
- Portfolio (banners, profiles, carousels)
- Case studies or results
- Lead magnets (PDFs, templates, guides)
- Website or service page
- Make sure each item has a clear cover/title
- Easy to understand at a glance
- Optimize thumbnails:
- Use clean visuals + big readable text
- Keep style consistent with your brand
- Order strategically (most important first):
- Start with your strongest proof or offer
- Each item should answer one of these:
- “Can this person help me?”
- “What results can I expect?”
- “How do I work with them?”
- Update regularly:
- Replace weak or outdated items
- Avoid:
- Random posts
- Too many similar items
- Anything unclear or low-quality
Best work + clear proof + easy to understand = strong Featured section
