Follow Deanna on LinkedInDeanna, you’re going to own your own business.
Yeah, if you would have said that to me 5 years ago, I would have laughed at you. You know what??? I did it. Owning your own biz can be daunting, it can be scary, but looking back at this past year, I can safely say starting this business a 100% POSITIVE experience! Since I started my business, I...
I want to brand myself this year – in 2021.
If this thought has crossed your mind, you are in the right place. LinkedIn is one of the BEST places to make it happen. When I’m working with my clients, I ask them this:“What sets you apart from the crowd?”“What’s your differentiator?” LinkedIn has 760+ million people on this platform. Chances...
Do you have a billboard for your business?
Probably not. How do people find out about your business? A website is like an online billboard for your business. If people don’t know you exist, how can they reach out to you for your services? A great social media presence combined with a great website makes a FABULOUS combination! We recently...
Not stirring the pot with this one, just telling it the way it is.
I got sold to via PM, right after connecting, from someone who is considered a "LinkedIn expert". I was shocked. I was surprised. I was dumbfounded. I read it multiple times to make sure I got it right. Please, if you are working with anyone to help you grow your network here, PLEASE DO NOT SELL...

This is a myth. I heard this from two different people who I spoke to yesterday. They both heard it from other people. It's not true. I'll tell you why. The truth behind networking on LinkedIn is this: if you are connected to the right people, you could have 150, you could have 300, you could...
“Sending resumes in is an endless black hole.”
That sounds about right. I can’t take credit for that quote, JOHN S. WEHMEYER said that when we were talking yesterday. John was referring to applying for jobs through all those websites that job seekers know way too well. He’s also among the job seekers who are recognizing the power of LinkedIn....
What works on other social media platforms may not work here
Have you tried to fit a square peg in a round hole? Yeah it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work on LinkedIn either. This platform is not a “one size fits all”. What works for one person here, may not work for someone else. Know your goals and What works for you on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter may...
Your profile is not the only thing about growing your network here.
I have clients who start working with me in order to have a great looking profile. One of the things I'm quick to remind them of is: to get attention here, having a great looking PROFILE is a good thing, but it's not the ONLY thing. There aren't magnetic forces drawing people to your PROFILE. It...
It’s NOT an online resume, it’s a professional network.
You can like and comment on posts here...multiple times a day...7 days a week. That’s not the meaning of engagement. Engagement means contributing to the conversation. It means giving value in return to that person who posted with value. Engagement means engaging with the people who you want to...
