Make the Most of Your Extra Hour: Boost Your LinkedIn™ Presence Today

As the clocks fall back for the winter, many of us wake up to a rare gift—an extra hour in our day. How will you spend it? Beyond an extra coffee or cozy moment, what if you put it toward a professional lift? Today, I’m sharing three quick ways to use those 60 bonus minutes to enhance your LinkedIn™ visibility and connect more effectively.

Tidy Up Your Networking Requests

This extra hour is perfect for organizing that list of connection requests. Head to LinkedIn’s™ networking tab and check any pending invitations. Not sure if you should accept? Send a quick, friendly message to test the waters. A simple “Hi! Thanks for connecting. What’s brought you to my network?” can help gauge interest. You’ll likely find it easier to decide based on their response—or lack thereof!

What to do with the extra 60 minutes?

Give Your LinkedIn™ Profile a Mini Makeover

When was the last time you updated your LinkedIn™ profile? It might be time to refresh it with your latest achievements, certifications, or even a new profile photo. Highlight any recent projects or wins that reflect your expertise. A polished, up-to-date profile speaks volumes to your network and leaves a lasting impression on potential clients or partners. In today’s digital landscape, people’s first impression of you often comes from LinkedIn™—make it count.

Engage Meaningfully with Your Network’s Content

Take a few minutes to scroll through your feed and engage thoughtfully. Like, comment, and share content that resonates with you or aligns with your brand. When you comment, go beyond “great post!” and add your perspective. For example, if a connection shares an article about emerging B2B trends, mention a trend you’ve noticed or a related experience. Quality engagement keeps your profile active and visible while also building relationships and credibility within your network.

Fox and online become visible online.

Embrace the Opportunity: Small Actions, Big Results

Your LinkedIn™ presence can have a lasting impact on your professional opportunities. Making small adjustments and engaging purposefully can build momentum that resonates long after today’s extra hour ends. Enjoy your winter time change, and make it work for you!
