20. Build your Sales
Contacts with LinkedIn
Social Media is not just for party and puppy pics anymore. A
quick Google search tells me that there are 65 million members
on LinkedIn in over 200 countries. Fortune 500 Executives use
LinkedIn and there are over 14 million unique vistors monthly.
Many of may be working hard to master Facebook and twitter,
when LinkedIn has been around business longer than both of
them and will probably result in a smaller but much more qualified
pool of contacts.
Facebook users are our friends and kids and everyone else.
LinkedIn is primarily only business related so it only draws the
people who want to do business, and if you check out the de-
mographics of people on both sites, more people on LinkedIn are
going to be your higher net worth people. Yet we spend more
time creating the best marketing photo for our Facebook timeline
than we do on our entire LinkedIn Profile.

we will have some steps we want you to take.

some terms that YOU think people would search for if they were
looking for a service provider in your industry. On LinkedIn in the
