Building Your Business Through LinkedIn

Most business people you speak with will be on LinkedIn.

Some will actively use its forums and groups, others just set up their profiles, but do nothing else.

I was interested to read an article recently on SocialMediaExaminer.com that takes a look at how you can use LinkedIn to build your business, become more visible and become more engaged with business intelligence. The 10 tips it covers are:

1. Using keywords and phrases
2. Mirroring your online and offline business networks
3. Tag your skills and expertise
4. Link to your website with anchor text links
5. Taking the time to welcome new connections
6. Adding video
7. Note important details and opportunities
8. Tag and filter connections
9. Use context to gather business intelligence
10. Update your CRM with data from LinkedIn

If you’re on LinkedIn this is a really valuable post so I would urge you to take 5 minutes out of your day to have a read of: 10 LinkedIn Tips for Building Your Business.
