1. Social Proof

We are more likely to buy or engage with someone that has worked with certain brands or companies.

Great examples: Dr. Natalia Wiechowski and Ali Mirza

2. Say What You Do

Literally list out exactly what you do for clients like Neil Patel and Tenita Johnson.

3. Sharing Expertise

Show yourself speaking and sharing your expertise in a setting with people listening to you. That image invokes a feeling of thought leadership and you can also show yourself at work in a business setting or out in the field. These two examples incorporate that and elements on social proof at the same time: Tim Schmoyer and Richard Moore.

4. More Ways to Connect

Make it easy for people to find you online or let them know you have a podcast, YouTube channel, or let people know how to best consume the content you create and continue the conversation. Great examples: Rachel Chang and Tima Elhajj.

5. Personality and Expertise

Show who you are and what you do with some personality. Highlight colorful or artistic that let people experience and see your expertise! Great Examples: Michaela Alexis and Brittany Krystle Hoffman.

Now for the Bonuses - YES!

There are so many amazing examples on LinkedIn showing creative ways to position yourself or business visually to sell from the top down.

In addition, there are a few more things to consider when creating a great cover image, including making it look amazing on both the desktop and mobile experience.

6. Call to Action and Contact

This before and after from a recent client, Jessica Gonifas, shows how you can use the cover image to direct prospective clients to reach out and positions your business clearly to show who you serve.

Leveling up her cover image resulted in more connection requests, inbound leads, and sales. PLUS she was able to drive more sales from LinkedIn in less than 4 months to go full time into her own business.
