443 - The #1 LinkedIn speaking hack

If you want more speaking opportunities, you don’t need luck.You need visibility.Event organizers, conference hosts, and podcast managers use LinkedIn to scout speakers.The question is: When they land on your profile, what do they see?🛑 If your speaking experience isn’t apparent, they won’t dig for it.🛑 If your authority isn’t apparent, they’ll move on to the following profile.🛑 If you’re not positioning yourself as a speaker, you’ll get overlooked.Visibility Beats Outreach Every TimeInstead of endlessly pitching yourself, here’s the simple system that turns your LinkedIn profile into a speaker magnet:1. Create a New "Speaker" Job RoleAdd a new experience section titled “Speaker” or “Keynote Speaker.”Make it official.This instantly signals anyone scanning your profile that speaking is part of your brand identity.2. Document Every Speaking EngagementInside the description of the "Speaker" role, list every talk, keynote, panel, and podcast appearance you’ve participated in.Even small webinars count.Every entry builds credibility.3. Update It RegularlyEvery time you speak, add it.Over time, this section becomes a living résumé that grows your authority and signals your expertise without you ever needing to pitch.4. Use Proof to Build TrustWhere possible, add links, event photos, or short descriptions to make your speaking experience tangible. Trust grows when proof is visible.Final Thought: Your LinkedIn Profile Is Either a Magnet or a Missed OpportunityYou’re already doing the hard work building a brand, leading teams, and sharing expertise.Make sure your profile showcases it in a way that opens new doors.This episode shows you the fastest, easiest way to position yourself as a speaker without shouting and attract opportunities matching your influence.🎧 Tune into The Daily Hint and turn your LinkedIn into your best inbound asset.Highlights:00:00 Introduction to LinkedIn Speaking Hack00:08 Setting Up Your LinkedIn Profile for Speaking Engagements00:14 Creating a Speaker Job on LinkedIn00:24 Showcasing Your Speaking Engagements00:28 Highlighting Your Speaking ExperienceLinks:===========================Equipment and Software that I use for my Videos and Podcasts!   Jens Equipment and Software overview: https://www.jensheitland.com/equipment===========================Books that I read and recommend.My Book Recommendations: https://www.jensheitland.com/books===========================Here are the ways to work with me:Speaking: https://www.jensheitland.com/speakingLeadership Skills Assessment: https://www.wearesucceed.com/===========================Connect with me!   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jensheitland/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JensHeitlandofficial/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jensheitland/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jensheitlandX/Twitter: https://twitter.com/jensheitlandNewsletter: https://www.jensheitland.com/newsletter===========================Subscribe and Listen to The Jens Heitland Show Podcast HERE: YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjuSGi1feauCNSER3IKuGWgWeb: https://www.jensheitland.com/podcasthomeApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jens-heitland-show-human-innovation/id1545043872?uo=4Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7H0GWMGVALyXnnmstYA1NL===========================Subscribe and Listen to The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland Podcast HERE: YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2tLdutVh6b6nCBgWQ817eQWeb: https://www.jensheitland.com/the-daily-hintApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-daily-hint-with-jens-heitland/id1722930497Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4T02uYPvcOrajPC6FgH64r?si=8aab1e7683204160&nd=1&dlsi=0f69c72af017454a
