Hinweis der Redaktion
- Our lips are sealed – I won’t tell anyone your profile is only 80 percent complete, or that you’re using a 10 year old picture.
- A little perspective – as of June 2012 Facebook has 955 million users, Twitter has 140 million. As of March 2012, Pinterest passed LinkedIn to become the third largest socmed site in the US
- Yes, LinkedIn IS social media. But if you want to tell people it is a business tool, or email on steroids, or any other crazy thing to get them to use it, go for it.
- Now, multiple those numbers times the number of people in your company – that’s your available network.
- Just like your company is made up of your employees, your company profile on LinkedIn is comprised of your employees’ profiles
- You are being judged…by the company you keep. Or by the people your company keeps. And by how often you, your employees and managers, and former employees show up in search results.
- Some profile best practices/and helpful hints: Headlines for searchability, titles for titles. Name your websites (drop down menu says “other”), personalize your link, if your professional has an acronym, use it in some of the titles. Use an in-context photo if you can
- Know the catagories
- Tagging connections for usefulness – send group messages by using the tags. Also, based on how you answer the questions about how you know someone, they will get automatically tagged.
- Sending messages via LinkedIn bypasses problems with spam folders and firewalls. Note: only to groups of 50 or fewer.
- LinkedIn Status UpdatesUse 1 tool to post status updates – from LinkedInClick the “birdie” to connect to Twitter
- Today’s LinkedIn status stream is a little “cleaner” than this old screenshot – it used to collect a lot of “less business-like” stuff from Twitter. Today’s LinkedIn statuses are more focused on LinkedIn and professional posts.
- Join and participate in relevant groups. Start and own your own. Groups also give you a way to connect to people you want to connect with – if you belong to a group, you may be able to connect to someone you’ve met there. They are also great places for posting links to downloads on your website – can you say “lead capture”
- Have your team to spend time in “Answers.”Add Skills & Expertise to profilesConsistent keywordsApplications provide additional content on profiles
- Manage your LinkedIn Connections in OutlookPop-ups in email show your LinkedIn networkInstantly invite new Connections from your email
- Add a description to a jobAdd a keyword to your headline, relegate titles to your titleBanish the “resume-isms”Update your summaryConnect a website or Twitter account, name a websiteAdd a group, award, or publication
- Think of it like an HMO – in and out of networkPlace attractive links in Groups, individual status updates, company updatesEventsOn the other end, basic lead captureYour website analytics will identify your LinkedIn super stars
- Get recommendations for the products you sell – much more valuable than recommendations for your people. People leave.
- Personal emailsNewsletter with a regular subscription – Constant Contact has a great cheap service and will give you a box to collect subscribers on your websiteQ&A sites – Quora, Yahoo answers
- Following companies for updatesTargeted list of companies for info/updatesNew employeesEmployees who leaveEmployees that are promoted, New job opportunities, etc.Notification Settings can be set by clicking on the Companies tab-> Search Companies->Following->Notification SettingsWho is on the move? Or wants to be ?Look for people with lots of “New Connections” or new recommendations.
