Why You Should Have a Company Page on LinkedIn

Have you ever thought about why you should have a company page on LinkedIn? Until recently, I wasn’t convinced of the value of a company page for a single-person business. Over the past year or so, my thinking has changed. Now, I’m proposing that if you are a business owner, you should have a company page. I continue to believe that you as a business owner should optimize your personal profile and keep it updated. Also, it’s important for you to use LinkedIn to stay in touch with your business colleagues. In addition, it helps to build your personal reputation [...]

Use LinkedIn to Highlight Your Involvement in Membership Organizations

Do you use LinkedIn to highlight your involvement in membership organizations? There are several reasons to do this to benefit both you and your organization. If you are looking for a job, being part of one of these organizations might lead a hiring authority to notice you. So often it’s our connections to others in the community that lead us to our next job. Perhaps you’re looking to grow your membership organization.

New Facebook Layout Affects All Facebook Users

Did you know that the new Facebook layout affects all Facebook users as of September 30? Yes, we are getting this new layout, whether we want it or not. It’s the most comprehensive change I’ve seen on Facebook since at least 2013 when I started my business.   Background on the Change to the New Facebook Layout I learned a lot from Maggie Tilman’s July 1, 2020 article, “The New Facebook Update: How to Get It and Turn on Dark Mode.” According to Tilman, this update is one of only four major changes that Facebook has ever made to its [...]

There are a number of effective ways to invite people to connect with you on LinkedIn. Conversely, there are plenty of ways to alienate potential connections when you send them a note with your invite.

If you use it mainly to grow your business, you will likely reach out to potential clients and referral partners. If you use it to share information of value related to your field, you may broaden your circle of connections.   Should I Send a Personalized [...]

What to Do When Someone Pretends to Be You on Instagram

Do you know what to do when someone pretends to be you on Instagram? It can be very unsettling when someone pretends to be you on a social site you use. Sadly, this kind of activity is far too common. When something like this happens, the key is to act swiftly to both notify your connections on the account and to make a report through the standard processes of the social site. Then make a point to carefully monitor the account in case it happens again.   My Own Experience of Someone Impersonating My Instagram Account Just over a week ago, I had [...]

Value of Reducing the Time Spent on Social Media

During a recent trip with my husband, I definitely appreciated the value of reducing the time spent on social media.
