课程: Growing Your Small Business with LinkedIn
Advertise your availability with a Service Page
- [Instructor] A small business can be one sole proprietor or a 500 employee well-oiled machine. I showed you how you can add a product page, but what about services? You could be a larger small business or a sole proprietor, but no matter what size, you need to be able to tell people you exist and what you're offering. The services pages on LinkedIn can let you search for a service provider or tell the network that you are a service provider so they can find you. To add yourself as a service provider, you need to first go into your profile. Once you're here, click the open to button right underneath your name. This is where you can tell people that you're looking for work, but here in the middle, I'm interested in this link that says open to providing services. So here's how it works. You're going to get started telling LinkedIn about the services that you provide. Then you'll be listed in the search directory, so when people look for services, you'll show up. After that, the clients can reach out to you. I'll click continue. And the first thing you need to do is click the plus sign to add the services that you offer. You can add up to 10 services. You can either search for them up here or use these sub-directories. I'll just pick one for now. I'll select it and a check mark appears. I'll click done. And here's where you can tell LinkedIn about your services, what makes you stand out, such as your years of experience or big projects you've done. Here's where you can work, and you can say that you're available to work remotely. And finally, you can allow LinkedIn members that you're not connected to, to message you. After that, you'll click next, and you can preview your services page. I'm not going to publish this. In fact, I'll click the X right now because this is a demo account. I'll click exit again. And here's what the service page looks like. To get there, you can point your browser to www.dhirubhai.net/services. And here's where you can search for them. I also wanted to share this with you so that you can easily find a provider. You're busy doing your services and creating and selling your product. You don't have time to scour the internet looking for a professional so you can have the proposals come to you. Here's where you can browse these services. You can see all of them in the list. You can choose a provider and you can start working together by sending a message just like somebody else could send a message to you if you show up in their list. Here's the same link if you're provider to add your services. And again, there's just a little bit more on how the process works. So again, that site is www.dhirubhai.net/services. And to add yourself as a service provider, in your profile, click open to, and then click providing services. So browse the services, add your own, join the network, and know that you're being extremely proactive in getting your name and service out there.
