LinkedIn Profile Evaluation
I recently developed this self diagnostic evaluation form (download below). It is a tool for you to self determine if you meet the LinkedIn standards for a 100% complete profile, as well as my extended standards for a further expanded and then embellished profile. Included is Page 1 of 2 for your pleasure. (Note: Need an Adobe reader program to open).
The fill ins are based on the concepts I teach in my class room LinkedIn presentations in the Chicago area and Webinars. Thus an understanding of my principles of LinkedIn 101 and LinkedIn 201 are required. So if you have any questions, please list below. Click on the link to open up and download.
LI Profile Self Evaluation – Page 1
Am also interested in your comments and suggestions for improvement – you can list below as well.
If you need a fill in form as a Word document, please request via the contact page.
Let me know when you are ready for page 2! Remember, you must complete the foundation before you can build the building’s skeleton.
Personal Evaluation Help
For those of you not electing an autodidact (self teaching approach), I offer a pesonal LinkedIn Profile Evaluation at a reduced fee to help guide you. I do the evaluation for you, which includes a Word Cloud summary and an approximate 45 minute session via Skype or Join.me. The cost for this one-on-one session is $54.00.
Page 1 – * After doing a prototype evaluation for an active job seeker who attended my presentation but never got the message, I raised the price on 10-16 since no one took advantage of this ridiculously low priced, high value evaluation. I will continue to raise the price until you realize the value and act on it. I already know there is no value to ‘free’.
LinkedIn 101 and 201 Outlines and Resource Sheet
10-21-11 After several requests for copies of the presentation (sorry I consider it intellectual property) I decided to at least offer you the combined outline of my LinkedIn 101 and 201 presentations. I frankly have yet to meet someone who has taken my recommendations and fully implemented them. Why? I don’t know since they work for me. Yes, it takes hard work and diligence. So, let me ask, who promised you life would be easy or even close to fair? So for your download pleasure: LinkedIn 101 & 201 Outline & Resources Rev 10-21-11
LinkedIn 301 and 401 – Review and Strategies
LinkedIn 301 is now the personal evaluation level to assure someone implements these steps before aggressively marketing, whether for their business (as I do) or in search of a job. This leads to LinkedIn 401 which is a strategy session followed by coaching and overseeing of results.
Frankly I also know of someone who teaches this as part of Web marketing for small businesses in a large on-line group. I have no interest in building a long term business nor starting a community of followers although the residual income aspect should be attractive to an entrepreneur. He charges a membership fee of $67.00 per month. If interested in the source, please let me know. I will see if I can have an affiliate link to earn some pocket change for referring you to him. But, you see I have always disliked working with larger groups and prefer the one-on-one custom approach. It’s more personal and targeted.

I just wanted to add that if Michael is offering help with your LinkedIn bio at a reduced price of $18, you are getting a great deal. He is a well-versed and all-knowing coach who can offer you a lot of helpful, practical and professional advice. Jack

Just raised the price to $36, US. If you think it’s a great deal, it’s too cheap. Plus I just did one and there is too much time involved to do it right.

Hi Mikey,
I tried to submit my Linkedin profile but I got a response that there was a problem. I input my credit card and that has me concerned.
Thank you,

Janet -
Submit your LinkedIn profile to whom? For the evaluation on BigMarker.com? If so, I can deal directly with you over Skype.
