As we approach Thanksgiving, I’m feeling very thankful for the Alternative Business Networking Group (ABNG). This remarkable organization recently celebrated its 9th anniversary.   What is ABNG? Quoting from part of the About section of the ABNG Meetup group: “At the Alternate Business Networking Group (ABNG) we want to attract members that are not only interested in getting referrals, but also want to give of themselves to encourage and help strengthen the businesses of the other group members. And, of course, we want to pass along quality referrals we may have. The key to a truly effective business network is [...]

Many Ways to be Gracious on LinkedIn

There are many ways to be gracious on LinkedIn, and people will truly appreciate you for doing so. These can range from the note you send to someone you hope to connect with to the comments you share. By way of background, unlike some, I often connect with people I haven’t met in real life. So, these tips come from that context.   Getting Connected By simply including a short note with your invitation to connect, you are being gracious. The recipient, especially if they are over 50, will be more receptive to connecting with you if you send a [...]

Value of Getting and Giving Recommendations on LinkedIn

Have you thought about the value of getting and giving recommendations on LinkedIn? Potential employers, clients and referral partners notice both those you receive and those you give. Yet, many people remain reluctant to ask for public recognition of their work. And some also hesitate to write a recommendation for someone else. Perhaps they don’t know how to ask for a recommendation. Or maybe they’re not sure what to say in one. Recommendations are vital ways to make your profile stand out. It’s one thing to say you’re great at something. It means a lot more when someone else attests [...]

How to Adjust Your Settings on Your Instagram Account

Are you looking for some tips on how to adjust your settings on your Instagram account? I’ve found that Instagram is becoming more popular with folks in their 50s and beyond. For example, many millennials migrate from Facebook to Instagram. So, their parents tend to follow them. Instagram users like the simplicity of this visually-oriented social site and the option to have a private account. Yet, many are struggling with how to adjust their settings on this site.   Private Accounts on Instagram The first consideration when creating an Instagram account is whether to make it private or keep the [...]

Removing Connections and Blocking People on LinkedIn

People often ask me about removing connections and blocking people on LinkedIn. There are many reasons for people to bring up these matters. For example, sometimes you might grow apart from people and no longer have an interest in them. So, you decide to remove them as a connection. Or the person may be a competitor of yours. Many people choose not to connect with others who are direct competitors of theirs. Blocking can be an option if a connection or a someone inviting you to connect comes across as too pushy and annoying.     Removing a LinkedIn Connection [...]

Selecting the Right Photos to Use on Facebook

Do you need help with selecting the right photos to use on Facebook? Photos and other images typically enhance the reach of a post. Even with the increasing use of videos, photos still provide a big impact. Yet, sometimes it’s hard to know which ones and how many to post. Certainly, the selection of photos is largely a matter of personal style and preference. But there are some general guidelines I have come up with as both social media professional and user. And while I usually focus on Facebook business pages in my blog posts, this post covers all your [...]

Effectively Managing Pending LinkedIn Connection Requests

Do you struggle with effectively managing pending LinkedIn connection requests?  Many of my clients do.   To Connect or Not to Connect? Everyone takes a slightly different approach. In general, I advise my clients to be very selective. Here are some examples of criteria you can apply: You can see a potential business relationship with this person. The two of you are part of the same professional, business, or community organization. This person is a current or former co-worker, business colleague, client, or vendor. You met this person at a networking function and hit it off. You know them from [...]
