We spoke with Marta P\u00e1le\u0161ov\u00e1 \u2013 a LinkedIn marketing expert who helps individuals and companies shape their digital identity in a way that brings real results \u2013 about how to use this platform effectively, strategically, and with impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to her, the key to success lies in having a clear goal, consistent presentation, and above all, activity. <em>\u201cHaving a profile is not enough. If you want to achieve your goals, you need to be visible. Only then will people notice you, remember you, and start trusting you,\u201d<\/em> says Marta. Her experience shows that the more a user invests in their network, communicates, comments, and engages, the greater the return they can get from the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>First impressions matter: your profile must speak for you<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although LinkedIn offers a variety of tools to enhance a profile, many users don\u2019t realize how much influence the very first impression has. Marta highlights three key elements everyone should adjust: a quality background photo, a professional headshot with a subtle smile, and a clear, concise headline. These are the elements that determine whether a visitor stays on your profile or clicks away immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cYour photo and headline say a lot before someone even starts reading your profile. Many people think it doesn\u2019t matter, but this is where trust begins,\u201d<\/em> explains Marta. A professional profile should not only be visually appealing but also clearly communicate what you do, who you serve, and what makes you unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.martapalesova.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/marti-35875web-417955-dkqr762T-scaled-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Marta Palesova\" class=\"wp-image-2092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.martapalesova.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/marti-35875web-417955-dkqr762T-scaled-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.martapalesova.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/marti-35875web-417955-dkqr762T-scaled-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.martapalesova.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/marti-35875web-417955-dkqr762T-scaled-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.martapalesova.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/marti-35875web-417955-dkqr762T-scaled-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.martapalesova.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/marti-35875web-417955-dkqr762T-scaled-2-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.martapalesova.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/marti-35875web-417955-dkqr762T-scaled-2.avif 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your network is not just about numbers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most common mistakes Marta sees among users is focusing solely on the quantity of connections. <em>\u201cGrowing your follower count is technically easy. You just send out connection requests and wait for people to accept. But having a high number of contacts doesn\u2019t guarantee success. You need to nurture your network \u2013 reply to comments, join discussions, be approachable. That\u2019s how people build a relationship with you and come back to you,\u201d<\/em> says Marta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building a network should therefore not be a mechanical collection of contacts, but an active and purposeful process\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can read the full article on Startitup <a href=\"https:\/\/www.startitup.sk\/nahradi-linkedin-platformy-s-pracovnymi-ponukami-expertka-zdoraznuje-3-klucove-prvky-navod\/\">HERE<\/a>.<br>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/martapalesova\/\">HERE<\/a> to follow me on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LinkedIn has shifted in recent years from being just a digital CV to becoming a tool that can truly transform careers, businesses, and personal brands.
