Are You Really Using Your LinkedIn to Grow Your Business?

On Thursday (10/24/08) I am giving a presentation to a recruiting company on utilizing LinkedIn to build contacts and relationships. Next week I'm giving a web class on using LinkedIn at a clients request. Therefore, I thought this week's tip should focus on LinkedIn. Here is a great idea to start using your LinkedIn.

When is the last time you really looked at your LinkedIn Network?

Click on Contacts from the navigation bar on the left side of your screen. Then click on the tab marked: Network Statistics. This will show a brief overview of your network of contacts, degrees of separation between you and other LinkedIn members.



If you scroll down your screen you'll see a regional breakdown as well as an industry breakdown. By clicking on the industry type you'll be sent to a page showing you search results for people in that industry that you are connected to directly and others that you may want to reach out to.

Just a quick tip on leveraging your LinkedIn Account.

Please share your tip or ask a question all are appreciated.
