The most viewed and influential LinkedIn profiles have been revealed, with several members of the Australian startup community leading the way.<\/p>\n

LinkedIn now has over 8 million users in Australia, and the 2016 Power Profiles use member data from the last year to find the most viewed profiles in Australia, split into several categories.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese members are not only great at what they do, but have also invested in their professional identity on LinkedIn, to become the most viewed professionals in their respective fields,\u201d LinkedIn Australia managing director Cliff Rosenberg says.<\/p>\n

In the \u201ctech startup\u201d category, Redbubble co-founder and CEO Martin Hosking was the most viewed profile, followed by 99designs co-founder Mark Harbottle and Tyro CEO Jost Stollman.<\/p>\n

Rosenberg says these people have effectively built a personal brand through the platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvesting in your personal brand helps grow your business brand,\u201d he says<\/p>\n

\u201cThese Power Profiles are spending time nurturing their professional network by sharing insights and their perspective on areas that they are passionate about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rounding out the startup list is Prospa CEO Beau Bertoli and Fishburners CEO Murray Hurps.<\/p>\n

In the \u201cinternet\u201d category, Atlassian founder Scott Farquhar was the most viewed profile, followed by Freelancer CEO Matt Barrie and Internet Australia CEO Laurie Patton.<\/p>\n

In terms of CEOs of larger corporations, Qantas\u2019 Alan Joyce, Westpac\u2019s Brian Hartzer and Telstra\u2019s Andrew Penn were the most popular profiles.<\/p>\n

For startup founders and entrepreneurs looking to build a brand and following on LinkedIn, Rosenberg has three tips.<\/p>\n
