Quick Tip to Using LinkedIn in Your Business

I have been using LinkedIn for sev­er­al years. I must admit, a few years ago, I had no idea what it was for or why a com­pa­ny should be a part of it. That was real­ly before the days of Face­book and Twit­ter, which rev­o­lu­tion­al­ized the now buzz words ​“Social Networking.“After jump­ing on the band­wag­on of social net­works more in recent months and the last year, I have come to rec­og­nize the pow­er of these sites, if you uti­lize all they have to offer. One thing I have noticed from my indus­try (paint­ing), is paint con­trac­tors are not uti­liz­ing LinkedIn. They sign up and then turn off their poten­tial con­nec­tions. In order to con­nect, the per­son try to con­nect has to know their per­son­al email account asso­ci­at­ed to LinkedIn. It is rather annoy­ing! The whole pur­pose of get­ting on LinkedIn is to con­nect with poten­tial cus­tomers, deci­sion mak­ers, fel­low busi­ness own­ers, and so on. So one sim­ple lit­tle tip that I hope is help­ful: if you are going to sign up for Face­book, LinkedIn, Twit­ter and the any oth­er social network/​media, make sure peo­ple can con­nect with you as eas­i­ly as pos­si­ble! It is that simple!
