1. Sign Up or Log In
Go to www.linkedin.com.
Click Join now and enter your email address and password.
Follow the prompts to add your first and last name.
2. Add a Professional Profile Photo
Choose a clear, high-resolution headshot.
Smile, dress appropriately for your industry, and make sure your face takes up around 60% of the frame.
No pets, party hats, or sunglasses, unless you’re applying to be a rockstar.
3. Write a Compelling Headline
This appears right under your name and is your mini-billboard.
Don’t just use your job title. Use a value-based headline like:
Helping female-led brands build magnetic digital strategies | Digital Marketer | OBM | Podcast Pro
4. Fill Out the “About” Section
This is your personal elevator pitch. Write in the first person.
Mention:
- What you do
- Who you help
- Your mission or values
- A sprinkle of personality
Example:
I’m a spiritual OBM helping female entrepreneurs ditch the tech overwhelm and show up online with soul-aligned strategy. From email marketing to course launches, I turn chaos into clarity.
5. Add Your Work Experience
List your past and current roles, ideally with descriptions.
Use bullet points to highlight achievements, not just tasks.
Include results where possible (e.g., “Grew client’s list by 5K in 3 months”).

Choose key skills that match your niche (LinkedIn allows up to 50).
Prioritise the top 3 that reflect how you want to be known.
7. Ask for Recommendations
Reach out to past clients, managers, or colleagues for testimonials.
A good rec = social proof that sells without you saying a word.

Include schools, courses, certifications, and anything relevant to your career story.
Short courses (Mailchimp Academy, Online Marketing, VA Bootcamp)? Include them!

Go to “Edit public profile & URL” on the right-hand side.
Change your LinkedIn URL to something clean and easy like:
linkedin.com/in/yourname

If you’re looking for clients or roles, enable this setting.

Facebook is Removing Videos from Groups: Here’s How to Save Yours Before They’re Gone
Heard the rumour? Facebook is clearing out videos from Facebook Groups, and if you’ve uploaded content over the years—training videos, lives, memories, or milestone moments—they might disappear. Poof. Gone.
But don’t stress. You don’t need to lose all your valuable content. With a few clicks (and a handy Chrome extension), you can download your videos and keep them safely stored.
Here’s how to save your Facebook Group videos before they vanish into the digital abyss.
Why Is Facebook Removing Group Videos?
Meta (Facebook’s parent company) has been gradually scaling back certain video features in Groups. They’re shifting focus toward Reels, Stories, and monetised video content – which means older video formats in private and public Groups are potentially getting the boot.
Translation? If you don’t download your videos now, you may not be able to access them again.
The Easiest Way to Download Facebook Group Videos (Using Chrome)
To download your videos easily, we recommend using a free Chrome browser extension called “Video Downloader for Facebook”. It’s quick, simple, and doesn’t require a tech degree.
Step-by-Step Guide
✅ Step 1: Use Google Chrome
This only works in Chrome—so if you’re a Safari or Firefox fan, it’s time to switch browsers (just temporarily, promise).
✅ Step 2: Add the Extension
- Head to the Chrome Web Store.
- Search for Video Downloader for Facebook™ by FDown.
- Click “Add to Chrome” and install the extension.
- Once added, you’ll see a little arrow icon in the top right of your browser bar.
✅ Step 3: Go to Your Facebook Group Video
- Navigate to the video you want to save inside your Facebook Group.
- Play the video.
- The arrow icon (the extension) should light up or show a download option.
✅ Step 4: Click to Download
- Click the Video Downloader for Facebook icon.
- Choose the video quality you want (usually “HD” or “SD”).
- Click Download.
- Your video will save directly to your computer.
✅ Step 5: Repeat for Any Other Videos You Want to Save
Rinse and repeat. If you’ve got loads, make a checklist and knock them over with a coffee in hand.
Tip: Organise Your Downloads
Create a folder on your desktop or Google Drive called “Facebook Video Archive” so you can keep everything sorted – especially if you plan to repurpose your content for other platforms (hello Instagram, YouTube, or your next course launch).
For my clients, I have been saving them by their business initials, giving it a number and then the title. eg: ACC 001 – How to Download your Facebook video – it will make it easier for me to set up a directory for them for quick reference.
Don’t Lose Your Content – Future-Proof It
Whether it’s client training sessions, member updates, or your latest “lives with heart” video series—don’t let Facebook’s clean-up sweep away your hard work. Take ten minutes today to download and store your best bits.
Because if not now… when?
Need help turning those videos into valuable evergreen content for your brand? I’ve got you. Let’s chat about how to repurpose, repackage and re-share your brilliance.
