If you want to discover how to attract clients using LinkedIn, it's critical to understand what your ideal audience on that particular platform wants... and what they don't. For instance, they're not interested in reading an online version of your work résumé. (In fact, that's about as far away as you can get from creating a killer LinkedIn profile.)

They do want to know, as quickly as possible, who you are, what product or service you provide, and how that product or service can help them achieve their goals. They also have to know how to take next steps to working with you, so they are going to be frustrated if you don't place your contact information in some strategic places.

I want to show you how to create a client-attracting, lead-generating LinkedIn profile in five minutes or less. Before I get there, however, I need to make one thing clear: If you want to attract your ideal clients and customers on LinkedIn, you must adhere to these two core tenets: Speed and Clarity. The fastest way to ensure you deliver on those two key elements is to think about one simple reality: How most of us tend to consume content online.

Lebanese President Michel Aoun is set to visit Saudi Arabia on Monday, marking his first overseas trip since taking office two months ago. Aoun will visit the Kingdom Jan. 9-10 at the invitation of King Salman, before heading to Qatar for a two-day visit. "President Aoun will meet Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Deputy Crown Prince, Second Deputy Premier and Minister of Defence Mohammed bin Salman," Rafiq Shalala, Lebanese presidential media adviser, told Arab News. President Aoun, who will be accompanied by a large ministerial delegation, had earlier promised to visit Saudi Arabia when King Salman's envoy Prince Khaled Al-Faisal visited Lebanon to congratulate him on winning the presidential election.

During the meeting with Prince Khaled, the president underscored his keenness to enhance ties with the Kingdom. The delegation accompanying President Aoun includes seven key ministers covering finance, defense, information, economy, interior affairs, foreign affairs and education.

"The timing of the visit asserts the attention given by President Aoun to Lebanon's relations with the Kingdom," Shalala pointed out. He also noted that a Lebanese delegation preparing for the visit has already arrived in the Kingdom to work on the final program of the visit of President Aoun.
