00:00So, welcome back guys.

00:02Guys, we have this LinkedIn series going on

00:05that how we do 3rd party client hunting from LinkedIn.

00:09And in this journey of 3rd party client hunting

00:12today we will see that

00:14the LinkedIn profile which we made

00:16how we make a profile image of that profile

00:20so that we have professional looking

00:22in hands-on content for our client.

00:27So that the client approaches us more

00:29and gives us more orders.

00:31So, first of all

00:33the need of this series

00:36of this video

00:38is that you have to like and subscribe

00:41and my different platforms are also available.

00:44You can subscribe and like on this YouTube.

00:48Along with that, I also have Instagram

00:50in the name of Sakhi Technical.

00:51You can also subscribe and like there.

00:53Now let's see here

00:55that we made this account here.

00:57Now we made this account

00:59in the name of Social Media Consultancy

01:02and made a student account.

01:04Now here we have to put the profile image.

01:07And how we have to make a keyword enhancing profile image

01:13and how we have to make a profile image.

01:16So, I will tell you some examples

01:19that how you can see and put profile images

01:23so that your client's attraction can increase by 1000%.

01:28So, the most beneficial thing to have a client interaction

01:31is that when you have a profile image

01:34in the name of your company

01:36and when you have a profile image

01:38in the name of your owner,

01:40in the name of your software house,

01:42in the name of your agency,

01:43in the name of your consultancy.

01:45So, most of the time your client comes to you.

01:50Client comes to you when you give valid reasoning,

01:56your postage is very good,

01:59along with postage, your following request is very good,

02:04your connections are very good.

02:07So, your client comes to you for work.

02:10Like there are many software houses,

02:12like we have Sakhi Technical is also a software house.

02:16It is important that you follow Sakhi Technical.

02:19You can follow Sakhi Technical here on LinkedIn as well.

02:24So, if we see Sakhi Technical,

02:26then we have that content in Sakhi Technical

02:30with which our platform is enhanced the most.

02:36We have done a good about section,

02:39we have done a good postage.

02:41Now, the thing to see here is

02:43you must have seen that what is the biggest mistake here.

02:47The biggest mistake is that

02:49we have made a Sakhi Technical logo

02:52which is promoting software engineering, software houses, services here.

02:58Along with that, our headline is here.

03:02We have not made that headline right

03:04and along with that banner is not made right.

03:07Now, I will tell you why I did this on purpose.

03:11I did this on purpose because

03:13there are many such professional platforms available here

03:16such as PayLinkedIn,

03:18which are taking services from this page as well.

03:21But the thing is that you do not have a first person client.

03:25The client is also a second person

03:27and most of the clients go without paying.

03:30That is because you have a benefit profit

03:34which is the platform that generates you.

03:37You have not established that platform properly.

03:40So, first of all, what we have to do is

03:43that we have to make a profile image

03:46and along with that we have to keep a banner.

03:48Now, to make a profile image,

03:50we go to Canva and explore Canva

03:54and see how we can make a profile image in a good form on Canva.

04:08Here I have come to Canva

04:10and when you log in for the first time

04:12you will get an image like this.

04:14So, here we have to use it for personal

04:18so we make it personal and maybe later.

04:20It is easy to use Petrial in this.

04:22You can also use Petrial.

04:24Along with this, what we do is

04:26we write profile image here.

04:29So, we write Profile Company here.

04:33And here we will get a lot of content.

04:36But what do we want?

04:38We want an image on which

04:40our content is being provided.

04:44According to that content,

04:46we have to write a name.

04:53This is a little problem of Canva

04:55that I have to do custom sizes again and again.

04:57But in the free version,

05:01this opportunity is not available

05:03that if you can't do it again and again,

05:05then you have to do it again.

05:07So, this is a little issue of Canva.

05:09We will definitely deal out this.

05:11How to do this?

05:13We go here and select this one.

05:17And we will get this black.

05:21We change H to S.

05:25And here we change R to M.

05:33And here we manage the sizes a little

05:37that we have.

05:59Here we have adjusted.

06:01And here we click on Share.

06:03After clicking on Share,

06:05we click on Download.

06:07And with the download,

06:09we download this PNG.

06:11Here we click on New Upload Image.

06:13So, we drag and drop here.

06:15Here we bring and open.

06:17So, we have a good looking,

06:19a whole my niche,

06:21I have made a logo

06:23to show it.

06:25And the logo that I am putting

06:27on the profile pic.

06:29And here I click on Save Photo.

06:31And as soon as I click on Save Photo,

06:33the photo is updated here.

06:35Along with this,

06:37we will also make a banner here.

06:39We make the banner in the same video.

06:41And here we see the size of the

06:43LinkedIn banner.

06:47Let's see first.

06:491584 by 396 pixels.

06:53So, we go here on Canva.

06:55And go back.

06:57And here,

06:59we see the size of LinkedIn.

07:01Now,

07:03we have to see the size of the LinkedIn banner.

07:05Here we can see that

07:07we get a lot of banners.

07:09We have to choose that banner

07:11which is free.

07:13Because in free courses,

07:15this facility is available.

07:17In free courses,

07:19we use free content.

07:21And here,

07:23we need a professional looking banner.

07:25Just like this banner,

07:27but this is the pro version.

07:29Let's click on More

07:31and see all the banners here.

07:33And here in the filter,

07:35we have to check out the

07:37P banner available here.

07:39Along with this,

07:41we have to see the

07:43most suitable banner.

07:45And bring it here.

07:59Here,

08:01I have

08:03chosen this banner.

08:05The biggest benefit of choosing this banner

08:07is that

08:09I have shown my social media

08:11in an illustration.

08:13That I am doing this on social media.

08:15So, on social media,

08:17I am providing these things.

08:19Like I am providing social media services.

08:21Similarly,

08:23on social media,

08:25on YouTube,

08:27you get followers and subscribers.

08:29To increase those subscribers,

08:31like social media agencies

08:33provide,

08:35I am providing those services to my clients.

08:37So, when I am providing

08:39these services,

08:41my banner should also show

08:43that I am providing these services.

08:45Along with this,

08:47the most important thing about my banner

08:49is that it should match

08:51with my logo's

08:53background.

08:55Because

08:57good looking is also

08:59a good thing.

09:01Along with this,

09:03it is also a good keyword

09:05to attract clients.

09:07It is a visual pictorial keyword.

09:09Most of the LinkedIn forms

09:11are mentioned here.

09:13Here, we have to

09:15provide content.

09:17We will take that content from AI.

09:19Like we used AI earlier.

09:21So, by utilizing AI,

09:23Here,

09:29we have AI.

09:31Along with that,

09:33we have to give this content

09:35to AI.

09:37And,

09:39what AI will do is,

09:41we will give a prompt to AI

09:43that

09:53...

09:55...

09:57...

09:59...

10:01...

10:03...

10:05...

10:07Here, you can see

10:09how well it has provided the content.

10:11Now, here,

10:13because it is an expert buzzword,

10:15we will avoid

10:17the expert buzzword.

10:19Because, it is not 100% perfect.

10:21So, don't rely too much on

10:23ChatGPT.

10:25ChatGPT is a good form

10:27that we can utilize.

10:29It is a forum.

10:31So, we will utilize it here.

10:33What we do here is,

10:35...

10:37...

10:39...

10:41...

10:43...

10:45...

10:47So, here,

10:49...

10:51...
