APRIL 2021 NEWSLETTER
Hello Friends,

It's April! What's interesting about this month? It's the official start of Spring! Which means lots of different things to lots of people. For our DWCS Team: Assess our first-quarter results and review our second-quarter goals. For me, personally, I now get to enjoy tons of color on my patio sanctuary of orchids and tropical plants! (pic on right) :)

What makes the month of April exciting for you?

A few more notations:
4/26 Supermoon: Pink Moon - full peak at 11:33 pm EDT
4/30 National Arbor Day - hug a tree or better yet, plant one

It's the start of Q22021 - and isn't it interesting that in light of our current challenges, time still flies?! Stay on track of your goals and let us know how we may help you to do that. LinkedIn Overview Presentations for your office or organization, Corporate Coaching, Individual Coaching, Profile Translation services in Spanish & Portuguese, and more!

Enjoy this issue - loaded with great LinkedIn Tips, an important Spotlight on some very special people, a Follow Debbie calendar to keep everyone informed of our activities, and a FREE LinkedIn Webinar on 4/29! Enjoy!

With much gratitude ~

Debbie

April LinkedIn Tips
TIP 1
Did you know that there are over 5M LinkedIn Groups? We still feel this is an often overlooked feature of the site. And you can join up to 100 Groups! Here are a few reasons to pay attention to this feature:
  1. When you join a Group, all members become part of your Network. That means they can find you in keyword-driven Searches. Remember: It's the members within your Network who can bring you up in organic Searches.
  2. You can message Group members directly without being connected to them, provided they allow it in their privacy controls and most do.
  3. Being active in a Group can establish you as an authority in your field.

TIP 2
Business Owners: Have you established a LinkedIn Page? Formerly known as a LinkedIn Company Page, it will act as a mini-website to accompany your LinkedIn Profile. And it's free! Needed criteria:
  1. Have at least 100 Connections
  2. Have an email with the business name in the extension - no gmail, Hotmail, or AOL
  3. An All-Star profile - scroll to your Dashboard and look to the right for 'All-Star'. Or you will see what you still need to add for content to attain that ranking.

TIP 3
Job Seekers: Tap on the Jobs tab (navigation bar at the top,) and then tap 'More' to access Interview Prep. If you've not explored this, now is the time! Many interviews are done virtually and LinkedIn has added a very cool way to practice - and you'll receive immediate feedback via AI! Note the 26 questions on the left margin (and Categories for even more specific ones,) pick a question, think about your answer, and tap Practice and Get Feedback, and record! You can also practice written answers as well. Who's ready to be on camera?!
