Using Sarah’s own 5 step process to LinkedIn success, you will be guided smoothly through all aspects of LinkedIn to become a confident LinkedIn ninja.
LinkedIn is an amazing place to find new business. Working together with LinkedIn expert, Sarah Clay, you will learn how to position yourself on LinkedIn to get more clients, charge more for your services and earn more money!
I get that, I used to be the same. I used to quiver with nerves each time I hit ‘post’, for fear someone would judge me because I wasn’t in the right place, or if I said the ‘wrong’ thing.
I will help you understand and even love LinkedIn. Yes! I will help you overcome those ‘first day’ nerves to help you feel that LinkedIn is a place you WANT to be. When you love it, believe me, it will show, and you’ll start seeing results!
Here in 2021, LinkedIn is for EVERYONE! If your clients are there – that’s exactly where you need to be. Whether you’re a photographer or a plumber, a coach or a café owner, a designer or a director – LinkedIn is a great place for you to sell your services. If you’re in IT, HR, or you’re a VA, a PA, an ACCA or an LLB, LinkedIn is so about you! Believe me when I tell you that your competitors are there so you’d better get there too!
That’s why you need to join LinkingIn Academy! Now is the time to dust off that old profile photo and start telling the huge LinkedIn world (of around 820 million), what it is that you do! With my step-by-step, no-nonsense style of teaching you are in very safe hands when you’re learning with me.
Don’t stress, I understand that feeling and I tackle it in depth both in the course material which you have access to when you join LinkingIn Academy AND in the regular ‘lives’ and ‘Huddles’.
I’m not denying, talking to ‘strangers’ on LinkedIn feels weird at first but I help you overcome those nerves. I help you develop tactics to give you the confidence to go out there and talk to anyone!
I’ve headed up PR and marketing departments for different companies before setting up my social media agency, Sarah Clay Social. I created content and strategy for other business owners, so I know exactly what you’re going through trying to do it all for yourself on LinkedIn.
One day, I realised I was getting new clients through LinkedIn without really trying so I thought it was only fair that I taught my methods to others. I looked at what I was doing and I created my course, LinkedIn Simplified, and, on the back of that, I created this wonderful community, ‘LinkingIn Academy’.
I teach in a no-nonsense, easy to understand way. I don’t use ‘industry speak’, I use clear language to help you learn fast without fuss. LinkingIn Academy is a safe, and fun, learning environment.
“Sarah is fantastic! I have avoided looking at or using Linked In since it began. I recently realized that I need to get up to speed. I accidentally (and joyously) bumped into Sarah. I love her and I love her LinkingIn Academy! She is so much fun, AND makes learning how to understand Linked In and how to make it work for you so easy and fun! I am only beginning, but I’m finally excited to be getting into the great tool called LinkedIn. Check her out…you won’t be disappointed!”
“All the ground work we did last week has been AMAZING. I can’t believe the value of this course and community – you really are giving us incredible insights and info. Thank you!”
“There’s fun and learning. And then there’s Sarah — FUN and LEARNING in a seamless, energetic package. I met Sarah on LinkedIn and right away I knew that she was a master of her craft and not a know it all either. Collaborating with her is always an insightful opportunity to expand my understanding of social media in the absolute and more specifically the ins and out of LinkedIn. Her approach to training is fresh, innovative and light while driving impact and results. With the many LI trainer choices available, there are few that deliver with this rare type of delight.”
With LinkedIn becoming more ‘creative’, what you post about is increasingly important. As a content creator, I help you map out your content for the whole month, so you never run out of ideas to consistently create engaging posts which are relevant to your ideal clients.
Experts so far include: Business coaching, branding, Canva masterclass, video (yes video!), sales strategies, content creation: and there will be many more!
LinkingIn Academy is a warm, supportive group. Our monthly Huddles are a great chance for you to learn from and support each other with me at the helm!
Continuing the values of LinkedIn, there are regular networking ‘parties’ on Zoom for all the members to help you all get to know each other and do business together.
My no-nonsense and fun approach to teaching LinkedIn ensures that you will WANT to learn because I break it down into bite-sized steps to make it super easy for you.
6 modules of pre-recorded videos and pdfs taking you all the way through my 5 step process to LinkedIn Success! This course is a step-by-step programme for you to work through in your own time.

LinkingIn Academy will provide you with a safe, structured environment for you to grow in your knowledge and confidence of LinkedIn to start using it strategically to earn more money in your business.
“The course provided step-by-step guidance for everything from creating a profile to using video. In just four weeks, my numbers improved drastically, with Profile Views up 242%, Search Appearances up 1250%, and Followers up 18%. Even better, I was able to connect with amazing people. Sarah is generous to a fault with her knowledge and time. She is an absolute joy to work with.”
“Sarah has completely changed my view of LinkedIn as a business tool. She has great insights and is passionate about what LinkedIn can do for your business and personal brand. The course reflects Sarah’s evident curiosity and enthusiasm – it’s well structured, relevant and focused, and Sarah has a natural ability to keep you engaged and motivated through the course. Definitely 10/10!”

When you join LinkingIn Academy, I will guide you through my 5 step journey so you can start start achieving LinkedIn success. It means I can keep a check of where you are in your learning. Here are the 5 steps.

In LinkingIn Academy you will learn how to build a profile which positions you exactly how you want to be seen by your ideal clients.
With the introduction of ‘Creator Mode’ in July 2021, we are aware that LinkedIn is focusing far more on content than ever before.
With only 1% of people posting content regularly on LinkedIn (yes that’s what LinkedIn tell us!), your opportunities are huge! Once you have fully identified who your audience is, you can create content to appeal directly to them.
With the right content, you can start to build up a network of ‘fans’ – yes really! Fans who will be waiting for your posts to come up in their feed! With our monthly content clinics, you can plan out a monthly strategy and get content ideas you can use over and over again.
There are incredible tools to help you find your audience on LinkedIn. Used correctly, the outreach capabilities of LinkedIn are almost limitless!
In LinkingIn Academy, you will learn how to identify and find and target your ideal clients so you don’t waste hours of valuable time; time which could be spent earning more money!
The possibilities for connecting with new people on LinkedIn are endless. It’s important to have a connecting strategy so you don’t just end up going down the ‘LinkedIn rabbit warren’.
More now than ever before, LinkedIn is about conversations. Since lockdown, the conversations on LinkedIn have become more frequent, longer and more relevant.
In LinkingIn Academy, I teach you tricks and techniques to connect & engage to generate positive responses and grow your network every single day.
Being ‘salesy’ on LinkedIn simply doesn’t work. You will learn techniques to build strong relationships with relevant people to bring them into your world and turn them into fans!

I give awards each week to encourage Academy members to help each other as much as possible. Having said that, the support is wonderful anyway!

Ditch the dull keynote speeches in favour of fun-filled, laughter-inducing groups and seminars that get the audience involved from the get-go.
I’m bubbly and vivacious by nature, which you’ll find out in my presentations.
I strive to appeal to those across sectors and disciplines, whether it be to those in more traditional professional roles, such as senior executive management, or those who are solopreneurs, freelancers or working in creative industries.
I ended up leaving my day job behind and achieved a diploma in Social Media Marketing. I set up Sarah Clay Social to help businesses promote themselves on social media. While using various platforms to promote my business, one stood out – LinkedIn. I seemed to attract new clients without really trying. All without a cheesy sales pitch and just by being myself.
I was astonished by the success I had with LinkedIn and couldn’t get over how handy my childhood techniques had been. I realised that all the tools I’d learnt as a child were immensely useful! Soon after, I realised that other business owners weren’t using LinkedIn to its fullest potential.
That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help business owners, just like you, harness the power of LinkedIn and be more successful in business.
Are you ready to leverage LinkedIn’s potential?
