The Science Of LinkedIn Domination 6 Of 6

Jun 02, 2009

You now have enough information to use LinkedIn effectively.  In the last few posts we have discussed Profiles, Building a Reputation, using LinkedIn for Job Hunting, Using Groups and Conductiong Better Searches.  Going forward there a number of ways you can continue to push the boundaries:

  • Take a Webinar - find a webinar online, read a book, keep developing your knowledge of LinkedIn. One of my best sources for ideas and material is http://www.linkedin.com, which is a blog on LinkedIn. It's full of new advice and continuously updated.
  • Work on your Profile: continue to refine, add keywords, post articles, white papers, Powerpoints on your site.
  • Find contacts in The FENG and invite them offline and online to connect.
  • Send periodic emails to contacts: stay in touch, have coffee or lunch - keep the contact alive.
  • Help others connect: Introduce people to each other, pay it forward, create your reputation as a LinkedIn hub, someone who knows people.
  • Hold events for people with common interests: Create a group, go offline and host a meeting, give a seminar and publicize it through your groups.
  • Form a group: Post articles, news, discussions
  • Share your knowledge: Write a blog, post it through LinkedIn, post articles, answer questions, forward interesting articles to contacts.
  • LinkedIn Events - check regularly to find networking events in your area.
  • Explain value of LinkedIn: knowledge is power, become an expert and help others understand LinkedIn while building your network.
