Still don’t believe in LinkedIn? Read it and Weep

Filed under: Uncategorized — Editor @ 2:18 pm
I'm going to assume if you're reading this, you're on LinkedIn.

But are you maximizing LinkedIn's potential? I advocate organically growing your contacts through LinkedIn if you're just dipping your toes into professional social networking, but there are other ways to get involved, too.

  • Ask questions of peers – how are they dealing with a current issue?
  • Comment on other people's status.
  • Recommend people for the great work they've done for you.
  • Introduce people who should know each other.
  • Check your keywords – whatever you do should show up in your bio 10-15 times. 
  • Make sure you have a full bio and resume. Seriously, don't just be a finger puppet.
Let me know if you have any questions – I'd love to help make things happen for you.

Check out this article for some great insights to where LinkedIn came from, where it is going, and how it can help you.
