Why Using Native Video on LinkedIn is So Important

At this point you may be wondering – what is native video on LinkedIn? Or even – asking yourself, since when does LinkedIn have this type of video option? After hearing Viveka von Rosen speak on the importance of using native video on LinkedIn, I realized I need to start using this feature more.   Who is Viveka von Rosen and What is Native Video? Simply, native video is video that is created specifically for LinkedIn rather than uploaded from another site. In his December 22, 2017, article in the blog Social Media Examiner, Michael Stelzner quotes Viveka saying, “LinkedIn native [...]

Use Twitter to Increase Your Influence

Do you use Twitter to increase your influence? I must confess that I’m not much of a Twitter user, though that's how I've been in the past. After hearing Laura Pence Atencio speak on using Twitter to increase influence, I’m reconsidering. Laura is a radio host, author, digital marketing consultant, social media speaker, and online marketing strategist. In addition, she’s been on Twitter since 2010 and has nearly 120,000 followers.

Staying in Touch on LinkedIn Pays Off

I truly believe that staying in touch on LinkedIn pays off. Successful business owners make a point of staying touch with their customers and potential customers. For example, when I was a child, my family’s insurance agent would acknowledge my folks’ wedding anniversary every year. My husband’s friend from their softball-playing days sent us a Christmas card every year for over 20 years. He was a Realtor. So, when we needed someone to sell our home when we moved to Colorado, naturally we called him. Although the friendship had dimmed over the years, his Christmas cards paid off. And just [...]

Publicize Meetup Events Through Facebook and LinkedIn

Are you making the best use of Facebook and LinkedIn to publicize your Meetup events? More and more business events are held through Meetup groups these days. By promoting them on these social media sites, you increase the chances of more people knowing about and attending them.   Review Your Meetup Group Photo and Profile Before you start taking my advice, check your Meetup profile. Often, people start out using Meetup for social purposes, so their Meetup photo is more informal. If you are aligning your Meetup group’s events with your business use of social media, your photo should be [...]

4GenNow and the Benefits of Intergenerational Collaboration

Have you heard of 4GenNow and the benefits of intergenerational collaboration? I’ve been blessed to experience these benefits in many ways.

Ways to Ask for Feedback from Your Clients

There are many ways to ask for feedback from your clients. Have you been thinking of asking your clients what they think of your product or service? Recently, I sent an email to my clients asking for their feedback. I had been planning to let them know about some reduced pricing on my LinkedIn webinars and decided to combine the two. To be honest, it takes courage to ask for feedback. Sometimes responses can hurt your feelings. However, most often, people will share ideas that will help you improve the way you deliver your services. Be sure to follow up [...]

Access LinkedIn from Your Computer – Not Just from Your Mobile App

On occasion, it is important to access LinkedIn from your computer - not just from your mobile app. Why? Well, while it’s true that for much of our social media activity, the mobile app works just fine. You can post, send, and receive connection invites, use internal messaging features, check your news feed, and more. However, there are some things you can’t do from LinkedIn’s mobile app. These may not be things you do often, but they are handy to know about. And knowing in advance that they must be done on a computer will save time and frustration.   [...]

Invite Your Facebook Friends to Like Your Facebook Business Page

Inviting your Facebook Friends to like your Facebook business page might seem obvious. Yet, many people don’t do it. Or perhaps they don’t know how. Facebook removed the “Invite Your Friends” option from the drop-down menu found when you click on the three dots just under your page’s cover photo. There could be people, like me, who were wondering how to use the Invite Your Friends option. Now, to find that option, you need to go the Community Section, found on the right-hand side of your business page. Please note that this invitation will show up in your friends’ notifications.
