A very important thing to remember while following the checklist:
GOOD CONTENT in the profile details entices the reader.
(DON'T DO TYPOs)
I have prepared actionable LinkedIn Profile Checklist-
"Important Things To Remember and Apply to Your Own LinkedIn Profile"
PHOTO: It doesn't have to be fancy - just use your cell phone camera in front of a plain background. Wear a nice shirt and don't forget to smile!
HEADLINE: Tell people what you're excited about now and the cool things you want to do in the future.
SUMMARY: Describe what motivates you, what you're skilled at, and what's next.
EXPERIENCE: List the jobs you held, even if they were part-time, along with what you accomplished at each. Even include photos and videos from your work.
ORGANIZATIONS: Have you joined any clubs at school or outside? Be sure to describe what you did with each organization.
EDUCATION: Starting with college, list all the educational experiences you've had -including summer programs.
VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE & CAUSES: Even if you weren't paid for a job, be sure to list it. Admissions officers and employers often see volunteer experience as just as valuable as paid work.
SKILLS & EXPERTISE: Add at least 5 key skills - and then your connections can endorse you for the things you're best at.
HONORS & AWARDS: If you earned a prize in or out of school, don't be shy. Let the world know about it!
COURSES: List the classes that show off the skills and interests you're most excited about.
PROJECTS: Whether you led a team assignment in school or built an app on your own, talk about what you did and how you did it.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Ask managers, professors, or classmates who've worked with you closely to write a recommendation.
This gives extra credibility to your strengths and skills.
There is also a good tutorial and a course on Lynda.com. Refer here
So, if you're done creating your profile, don't stop here.
