Most creators and coaches overlook their profile banner. Yet it is one of the first things people notice.
Your banner should be clean, mobile friendly & aligned with your brand.
Not cropped or hard to read.
Most LinkedIn content is viewed on mobile.
When your banner breaks on smaller screens, it hurts credibility.
I created an Instant LinkedIn Banner Size Guide.
Many banners look fine on desktop but fail on mobile.
A blurry or misaligned banner can cost trust, especially for founders and solopreneurs.
Your banner is your first impression.
It should show:
• What you do
• Who you help
• Why someone should connect
Quick tips:
• Keep text and logos centered
• Add a clear tagline
• Include a simple CTA
• Use social proof
A few pixels should not cost you opportunities.
If you want help reviewing your banner, feel free to reach out.
Such an underrated detail. Most people treat banners like decoration when they’re actually positioning tools. Cropping issues quietly damage credibility more than people realize.
Absolutely. It’s one of those subtle trust signals people underestimate. Curious — what’s the most common mistake you see with banners?

The part that makes you win?
It’s also the part that makes you want to stop.
– get rejected
– do boring, repetitive work
– mess up and learn from it
Yeah, it stings sometimes. I’m human. I’ve had my meltdowns.
But if you can handle:
– posts that flop
– requests that get ignored
– giving value with nothing coming back
You’re already ahead of most people.
Most quit the moment it hurts.
If you can stomach that phase?
You don’t just grow on LinkedIn.
You grow. Period.
Hard shell isn’t sexy.
It just works.
Good Job
