Everyone here knows what LinkedIn is, if you don't, you must live under a very nice rock
If you don't know what LinkedIn is it's an extremely large social platform for businesses and business professionals. You can build a profile on there and use it as a kind of resume if you want. I get contacted constantly by recruiters because my profile is optimized to a point where I'm usually ranked high for any search that is done in my field At least for the local market that is
Now how can you do this? I will tell you
Nice profile picture
Your profile has to look good in order for someone to want to work with you. What I did with my profile is that I used a profile image of me in a real life situation, I was at a wedding, and not a faked professional photo of myself sitting in front of a camera with a suite. Now some people will say that this doesn't increase conversions, but they also aren't getting people contacting them through their LinkedIn profiles on auto pilot ;) You don't have to be in a professional setting or wearing a suite, just make sure you look nice and are smiling
A closing background image
When I say a "closing" background image I mean it has to sell for you before anyone contacts you. You can see mine, it's the same one I'm using here on SeoClerks Here's my profile: https://www.seoclerks.com/user/Razzy
My image asks a question and answers it while easing people at the same time. It's short and sweet and right to the point, which people like. It leaves just enough out so that people want to contact me to ask more questions. And if they contact me, I can get them to sign up
An all star profile
Add whatever you can to your profile to make it complete. Having an all star profile doesn't show up to anyone who is viewing your profile, but it could help with the search rankings
Fill out your profile as much as possible and build contacts. You won't be able to do this overnight so just take your time. If you do it all in one day you will feel drained. Go through a few sections and get a decent set up of your profile and then go work on something else. Come back the next day and add in more content, I guarantee that you will have more to add that you didn't think of they other day
Optimize your profile
Yes, you can optimize your profile and the search algorithm on LinkedIn can be gamed pretty easily using keyword stuffing. Yeah, it's sad but true.
Here are some LinkedIn profile optimization tips and tricks:

Thank you, I didn't even see that you can add a background photo! I guess I will have to get someone to design something nice for me, since I am not very good at that. Oh my gosh Razzy, won't my name look a little silly with my keywords in? I would have to add more jobs and stuff them full of keywords LOL So I shall now be known as "Lynne Huysamen Mommy Blogger"? heehee Ok so an all star profile you are meaning that your profile is complete you are referring to where is says "profile strength" - ok got me all star over there.
