There are three fundamental boxes to LinkedIn success, and these core methods will assist you in your target market success.
Pillar One: Professional Development – Do you have a brand marketing strategy?
-¡ To build your personal brand, make sure your profile is 100% complete. Fifty-six percent of those attending the webinar did not have their profile finished.
-¡ Add a book, video or blog application to your profile. Adding an application makes you a little more unique.
-¡ Have a professional headline in the header. A professional headline under your name actually helps to identify you. This is one example of how attraction marketing is woven into your profile.
Pillar Two: Marketing – What Internet Marketing Strategies do you use?
-¡ Make sure the topics you post are relevant in the different groups to which you belong. You may post and answer questions.
-¡ Be brief. Be compelling. Be professional.
-¡ Create "engagement" or conversation. When you post, remember what your business objective is. You do not needlessly have to post every day in groups, as you would on a blog. A good indicator to how often you should post would be to watch the activity in the group.
-¡ Twitter feeds are a good idea to add into your profile social networks.
Pillar Three: Joint Ventures – Good Old Fashioned Partnering
-¡ Partnering creates goodwill, distribution channels, and most importantly, bridge- building to success.
-¡Do not discount the value of joint ventures for targeting your market.
LinkedIn is continuously driving to improve their service to users, and updates are currently being initiated to improve user performance.
