How to be visible on LinkedIn – without losing your day job! [S3, EP8]

In this solo episode Mildred Talabi dives into the tricky but totally doable task of growing your visibility on LinkedIn while holding down a 9-5.

She shares practical tips on how to build a strong personal brand without crossing any boundaries at work. From understanding what your employment contract says, to using the right language in your content, this episode is all about showing up online in a way that protects your job and promotes your side business.

We also talk about how to stay consistent with your content, use your time wisely, and keep work and business activities separate.

This episode covers:

• How to position your LinkedIn profile around your business, not your job

• When (and if) you should tell your boss about your side hustle

• How to speak about your business in a way that won’t raise red flags

• A realistic daily engagement routine that fits around a full-time job

• How personal branding now sets you up for future opportunities
