Best Foot Forward

When looking to make connections on LinkedIn, it's crucial to have a completed profile.

Your "About" section of your profile is a place where you can provide a summary of your expertise, accomplishments, and any work-related results that set you apart in the industry.

Content is King

The more active and engaged you are on LinkedIn, the more visible you'll be on the timelines of your connections.

Content could include links to your website, articles about the property you’re managing, virtual tours, and much more. Video content - such as simple videos recorded on your smartphone - are a great way to engage with your connections and one of the most shared formats of social content to date.

Keep the Conversation Going

There are hundreds of groups available on LinkedIn that cover various interests, including rental properties and property management.

A great way to engage with others in the industry is to become a group member, including any associations you may belong to. Groups allow you to have discussions with other experts in your field, which can be beneficial when looking for ways to expand your reach.

LinkedIn Advertising offers more than 200 targeting options that you can combine to generate leads.

An effective campaign on LinkedIn requires a handful of things:

• Engaging Copy - you want to utilize a compelling headline or effective call to action.

• Stunning Visuals - you don't have to be a graphic designer, but using appealing imagery will grab the attention of your potential leads.
