Why Choose Personal Branding Over Company Profiles?

👉LinkedIn's unique position for personal branding over corporate facades: Here, it’s about showing up as your genuine self, not as a faceless entity.

Raising your LinkedIn profile Checklist:

The Art of Engagement

Fu*k ChatGPT off and get real with your community. When it comes to using LinkedIn effectively, you need to remember authenticity is the one. No one wants to see AI-generated comments all over your posts. Make a bit of effort and speak as you, the unfiltered you.

👉Share insights and content that add value, not noise: If it doesn’t help, inspire, or entertain, then fu*k that. It’s not good enough.

👉Comment, like, and interact in ways that feel human, not automated: Be the person behind the profile, not a bot.

👉The benefits of regular, meaningful engagement with your network: It boosts your visibility obviously but it also builds real relationships – the good stuff.

Quality Over Quantity

You probably heard this from your mum and dad when you were younger when it came to making friends; ‘it’s about quality over quantity’ and well they’re not wrong. The same applies to LinkedIn. It’s not about how many, but about who. You want to build a loyal community that get you, follows you, and swear by your content. Not just those people who come and go, or are inactive. Few tips for ya lads:

👉The strategy behind connecting with individuals who align with your professional goals: Seek out those relationships that add value, not just connections.

👉How to politely decline or ignore connection requests that don’t fit your brand: No hard feelings, but not everyone’s a fit. And that’s okay. It’s like, If you get offended by the word “fu*k”, then us at co&co probably aren’t gonna be a good fit. It’s a two-way street, you need to be right for us too if we’re gonna work for you.

So, that’s the co&co way. Straight-up, no fluff, no bullsh*t. Ready to kick ar*s on LinkedIn? Check out our sh*thot LinkedIn training and management services. Let co&co show you how it's done. Let’s work together.
