Late tonight, I got a mysterious email from @bigmanweston.
“Check out my LinkedIn profile.”
And, sure enough, he’d done something cool.
He added a video to his profile.
If you’ve been dabbling in SEO for a while, you know that LinkedIn is a great place to get some links back to your site. But until recently, there hasn’t been an awful lot of chatter about adding video.
Here’s how to do it. I’ve added a quick screencast video of how to do it as well.
1) Add Google Presentations To Your Profile
Scroll down and add Google Presentations to your profile.
2)Create A Google Presentation
If you don’t already have a presentation, then click “Create a Presentation”.
3) Insert Video
Once you have your first slide, click Insert>Video. You’ll get a YouTube search window. Find a video you’d like to add and then select it.
Scale the video to the right size to fit your presentation.
4) Insert a link
Click on the “Text” button and add the text you want to add. Click the “Link” button and add your URL to the link.
5) Share Your Presentation
Click on the “Share” button and choose “Share” or “Embed”. This allows LinkedIn to see your presentations.
6) Select Your Presentation
Select your presentation from the screen on the left.
7) Post To Your Profile
Click “Post To Your Profile”.
And you’re done!

It’s no big secret that @bigmanweston and I like to eat.
My wife is a killer cook and Weston’s culinary paramour, @girlblake, can make a mean Sunny Side Up-Cake.
So when she decided to take her cupcakes on the road to the Cupcake Smackdown 1.0, we thought we’d tag along with a camera.
There were many entries. [...]
