LinkedIn is a powerful business development tool for lawyers if used correctly. Luckily, it’ll only take 10 minutes a day to increase your exposure and relationships. 

First off, just having a basic profile is not enough. Create a profile that highlights all of your accomplishments and expertise:

• Your profile photo should be clear, professional, and not pixelated.
• Your job title should be descriptive as possible.
• Your summary section should tell a compelling and personable story.

Secondly, connect with as many people as possible:

• Send a connection request and a personalized note to everyone you meet in person.
• And don’t forget the people you met in the past such as previous classmates, coworkers and clients.  

Lastly, don’t just consume content. Be a contributor and add value for your network:

• Post relevant articles for your network. 
• Write posts highlighting your expertise.
• Comment on other people’s posts.
