How To Customize Unique LinkedIn Background Image With Simple Steps?

In the free version of LinkedIn, the most difficult part of uploading is the background image. (Premium subscribers get customized background image templates) The real problem is about half of the background image is blocked by photo, name, personal headline and other details of the profile. The solution is we have to demark the blocked part and the visible part.

 Here, I show how I customized my background image with simple steps.

 1.    Open Microsoft excel sheet.

2.    Fill cell addresses A to O horizontally.

3.    Then vertically A1 to A15, B1 to B15….likewise up to O1 to O 15

•     Copy all the above cells and open in Microsoft paint brush.

 

•    Save the file in PNG format and upload as the background image of your profile as shown below.

• Open in Microsoft paint brush and demark the visible part of your background image as shown below.

• Customize the visible part with your own border.

• Erase everything except your border, demarking the back ground image and the blocked part of your profile.

• Finally, customize your background image with in the visible part of the boarder as shown below.

Your background image is looked differently if you see from your friend’s login. Seek a friend’s help and see your background image from his logged profile. Check, recheck and fix it—fit and perfect within the visible part.

With 450 million professional users and 40 million student users, LinkedIn is a powerful platform to project your profile. Don’t miss the opportunity to make your LinkedIn profile more visually effective to catch the eye of your employer.

FACEBOOK AS A MARKETPLACE

FACEBOOK AS A MARKETPLACE

News:

• Facebook on October 3rd announced a new feature called Marketplace, an e- commerce hub that will initially be available through its mobile app.

• It's designed to provide a single place for users to buy and sell goods and services through the social network.

• Marketplace is currently only available in the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand on mobile, but the company plans to roll out to other countries and on the desktop in the coming months.

• Selling an item in Marketplace is just as easy as browsing for one. Simply:

         1.    Take a photo of your item, or add it from your camera roll

         2.    Enter a product name, description and price
         3.    Confirm your location and select a category

         4.    Post

• Now anyone looking in your area can find your item and message you if they want to buy it. You can also choose to post to Marketplace and a specific buy and sell group at the same time.

• To keep track of all of your current and past transactions in Marketplace, visit the Your Items section. There, you can view your saved items, products you’ve posted for sale, and all your messages with people.

•  Mary Ku, Director of Project Management of Facebook:

"450 million people access "buy and sell" groups on the platform monthly, a number that the social network is looking to tap into with Marketplace".

• Moor Insights & Strategy analyst Patrick Moorhead:

"Marketplace brings it with spontaneity. Users go on Craigslist and eBay to shop for products, but on Marketplace, impulse buys will be a thing. This is because browsing through the social network could allow users to see if certain items for sale would catch their eye, and so they might spend more time on the social network". 

The Muse:

• Facebook Marketplace is how different from other online e-commerce competitors? Will Marketplace grow into a service that will challenge the likes of Craigslist’s and eBay’s?
