linkedin dark mode

LinkedIn Dark Mode is now available to the LinkedIn community. Read this post to find out how to enable it on PC and mobile.

What is Dark Mode?

Dark Mode is a feature that allows applications and programs to display their content in a darker interface. Some people refer to dark mode as “black mode” or “night mode”.

Benefits of Dark Mode

1) Dark Mode helps with eye strain.

Eye strain is a common issue for people who work on computers all day. The blue light from screens can cause your eyes to become dry and tired, which leads to headaches or blurred vision.

Dark Mode is an easy way to reduce the amount of blue light exposure. The bright interface of light mode can damage your eyes in the long run, so using Dark Mode is recommended.

2) Dark Mode helps save battery life on laptops and other devices.

While lowering the screen brightness can help save some battery power, an easy way to do this is by enabling dark mode.

3) Dark Mode is a great choice for reading since it’s easier on the eyes.

An increasing number of businesses, entrepreneurs, recruiters and even job seekers view LinkedIn as an opportunity to display their thought leadership.

How? Via content creation, of course!

Writing posts on LinkedIn largely boosts visibility, so active LinkedIn users tend to share great insights with their connections, followers and prospects.

That being said, all of this content would be easier to read with the addition of Dark Mode.  In addition, this mode will make it easier for you to focus on what you’re reading.

How to Use AI to Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile

Is your LinkedIn profile providing good results, or has it just become an old resume lost in the 1 billion community? The job market is becoming competitive day by day. This means a well-optimized LinkedIn is now the key to unlocking new career opportunities, expanding professional networks, experiencing significant reach on posts, and more. Previously, optimizing the LinkedIn profile was considered a technical task. Fortunately, this isn’t the case now, all thanks to the continuous advancement in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Right now, there is a huge variety of AI-powered tools available online that will offer great assistance in the optimization process. If you want to learn about the procedure, then continue reading this blog post till the very end. Proven Approach for Leveraging AI to Optimize LinkedIn Profile Below, we have discussed the effective approach for optimizing your LinkedIn profile for better reach and engagement. AI-Based Profile Analysis You should not just start randomly making changes to each section of your LinkedIn profile. This is because there may be a few sections that are completely fine. Therefore, a better optimization approach is to first analyze the entire profile to determine the areas of improvement. Before AI, individuals (including myself) used to reach out to industry professionals in their inboxes and request them to “Please give a review to my profile & and highlight bad sections.” Now, there is no need to do such things, as AI has provided a quick, free, and accurate solution for this. You can easily find a variety of LinkedIn profile-reviewing tools online such as Redact AI. All you need to do is simply enter the profile URL in the given box, and the tool will come up with a detailed analysis. For a demonstration, check out the screenshot attached below. As you can see, Redact AI not only highlighted areas of improvement but also provided a better version that you can use to achieve perfect optimization. This way, your valuable time and effort are saved. Profile Headline/Bio Optimization A strong and engaging LinkedIn headline is crucial for profile optimization. This is because it not only ranks your profile in the relevant niche but also plays a key role in grabbing the attention of both followers and recruiters. So, try your level best to brainstorm the most relevant, unique, and appealing to read headline. Some of you may find this hectic, especially those who lack creativity or beginners who don’t know the diversity of their field. AI is here to offer assistance. The internet is overflooded with a range of AI-powered headline generators, and HighPerformr is one of them. It is available for free and doesn’t ask for signup/registration. You need to mention your role i.e., Content Writer along with the company name (which is optional). Next, select the necessary options such as tone, etc. You can either use the generated headline as it is or fine-tune it a little bit according to specific needs and requirements.  About Section Perfection The About section of your LinkedIn profile showcases your personality, expertise, and versatility in the targeted industry. The maximum limit for a LinkedIn Summary is 2,600 characters (approximately 500 words approx.).  However, for perfect optimization, it is usually recommended to keep the summary sweet and precise (not too much). So that people, especially HRs, can quickly skim through it, and have an idea about your skill set.  So, now your job is to cover a whole sea of words about yourself in multiple sentences without compromising quality. Quite difficult? Only for you – Not for AI. You can use advanced summarizing tools like the AI Summarizer for this task. It will not only eliminate fluff but also bring coherency and cohesiveness to the summary to showcase professionalism.  Whoever reads such a sweet and precise summary will be most likely to have a good image of you in their mind – which is the primary goal…right? Profile Banner & Image Optimization Last but not least, a LinkedIn profile banner and image are also essential for overall profile optimization. Many users often underestimate both these elements, you shouldn’t be one of them. This is because both play a crucial role in making a good impression on the visitor.  So, try your level best to craft an appealing-to-eyes banner and headshot-based profile picture. Gladly, there are also specialized tools available to get this task done with minimal effort.  A popular tool is Canva, which offers pre-designed banners to a global audience. It even provides the authority to create your own from scratch.  When it comes to profile images, there is an excellent AI-powered tool available named Headshotpro. It uses AI to generate fully professional headshot photos from the given regular picture.  So, after going through all these ways, we believe you will have an efficient idea of how to utilize artificial intelligence to seamlessly optimize your LinkedIn profile.  Ending Notes Optimizing your LinkedIn profile for better reach and engagement isn’t a hectic task any more. Now, there are numerous specialized tools available that will guide you about the optimization from start to end. To further make things easier for you, in this blog post, we have explained the procedure along with tools and pictorial demonstrations. So, it’s time to elevate your LinkedIn presence.
