Most of your efforts to increase your profile views will fail if you have not changed all the privacy settings to public. When you restrict your profile, it means you are driving away many people who can bring opportunities for you. Here is a list of setting options you should keep public:
1.Turn on/off your activity broadcasts: Turn on this feature and LinkedIn will let people know when you change your profile, make recommendations, or follow companies. The broadcasts will remind your network members about you. When they regularly see your updates, it will be hard for them to forget you. But you may want to turn this option off if you are looking for a job and do not want your present employer to see that you are updating your profile. …show more content…

4.Select who can see your connections: If you are not afraid of some of your connections who may steal your clients, you should set it to “Your connec- tions”.
5.Change your profile photo & visibility: Your photo will be visible to all users you send message. There are three options - (a) My Connections (b) My Network and (c) Everyone. I keep my photo visible to everyone because I like to connect to other people. But users who prefer privacy may set their profile photo visible only to their connections.
6.Select the types of messages you're willing to receive: The main two types are – (a) Introductions and InMail only and (b) Introductions only. The first one is recommended by LinkedIn. There are many other options such as ca- reer opportunities, new ventures, expertise requests, personal reference re- quests, consulting offers, job inquiries, business deals and requests to reconnect. Do not forget these additional options since these can bring you opportunities. You can also edit the “advice to people who are contacting you”
