By now you have probably heard of LinkedIn and the power of this social media platform for connecting. This will be LinkedIn’s 9th year and its growing bigger and faster every year.
If you are a business and looking to connect with other business, LinkedIn is a good choice.
If you want to stay on the pulse of the business world, then you want to be on LinkedIn.
80% of companies are using LinkedIn as a recruiting tool, so if you’re looking for a job, LinkedIn is a great resource.
As with all social media platforms you must decide your Purpose for being there, How you will Position yourself, have a Plan for what strategies you will use to accomplish your goals and you must be Passionate. If you’re not passionate you won’t be consistent and you should probably hire that part of your marketing out.
Couple of tips when beginning LinkedIn;
- Be sure your profile is 100% complete, be sure your key words are listed in your title and description of what you do and join some groups that match your marketing goals.
- Avoid the 10 most overused buzzwords on LinkedIn: Extensive experience, Innovative, Motivated, Results-oriented, Dynamic, Proven Track Record, Team Player, Fast-paced, Problem Solver and Entrepreneurial.
