You need to create forward-looking profiles, talking about who you want to speak to and attract and talk about the problems you solve, making your profile outwardly focus rather than simply about you and your services.
You can demonstrate your experience in a variety of ways such as hosting events and creating valuable content.
People can get too focused on getting more followers and likes but what matters is what you are doing with the audience you already have, are you serving them well and getting good engagement?
Stop putting things off and waiting for perfection, just get yourself out there and build consistency in all you do.

BEST MOMENTS
“When I was young, so was the internet”
“There are things you can to do build your credibility but it’s not what you think”
“Everybody moves too fast, it’s the hard work you actually do that builds a business”
