Frequency of LinkedIn Emails – How to Adjust This Setting

Many people tell me that they want to reduce the number of LinkedIn emails that they get. But they don’t know how to do make this happen. When I was a newbie on LinkedIn, I was overwhelmed by the number of emails I received. Then I found the settings where I could adjust the frequency emails. I was delighted with this newfound info. Once I made these adjustments, I got only the types of emails I wanted. And my inbox wasn’t filling up with unwanted messages. Along with adjusting this setting, double check your “primary email” on LinkedIn. This is [...]

Get More Positive Reviews on Your Facebook Business Page

Positive reviews on Facebook and other social media sites are critical to your company’s success. But not everyone knows how to increase their chances of receiving them. Does your Facebook business page show the review function? Too many pages don’t even make this function available. To see if your page does, look for Reviews on the left side of the page. If it’s there, click on it, and the review section will appear in the middle of your page. To see all your reviews, click on the Most Recent tab at the top of the section. You might also want [...]

Three Ways for Job Seekers to Stand Out on LinkedIn

Job seekers: be sure to have your LinkedIn profile really stand out when potential employers find it. To accomplish that you need a headline that attracts attention. Plus you need a summary that illustrates how you will be an asset to their business. But those essentials are not enough. There are other, often over-looked profile features which can differentiate you from your competition.   Highlight Your Certifications Section Make sure to include all relevant certifications and licenses. List all the specifics: the exact name of the certification or license, certifying authority, and date granted. If applicable, include the license or certificate [...]

Your Professional Photo Enhances Your Personal Brand

Does your professional photo represent you well? Remember, your photo is one of the most important elements of your personal brand. I am frequently disappointed with both the quality of the profile photos I find on LinkedIn and other social sites. Too often these photos show the person in a casual environment, sometimes with family members and friends. At times, the way the person looks in the photo is not the way they show up in real life. Sometimes people use a variety of photos across their social sites, website, and other online environments. The better approach is to use the same photo on all sites (except [...]

Facebook for Service Clubs and Other Volunteer Organizations

Facebook can be a powerful tool to help service clubs and other volunteer groups. Effective use of Facebook helps grow their membership, enhance the group's camaraderie, and increase their visibility in the community. The Facebook business page, groups, and/or events features can all be terrific tools for these kinds of organizations.   Facebook Business Page The business page serves almost like a “mini-website” in that it has an info section where you can include basic information such as your mission and contact info. Photos, videos, and posts on this page can be seen by anyone who checks out the business [...]

Sorting Your LinkedIn Connections: Part 2 of a Series

Like Facebook and Twitter, LinkedIn offers a system for sorting your connections. To do it you use “tags”- a relatively unknown feature that can be very useful.   This post, the second in a three-part series on creating and optimizing lists on social media, covers LinkedIn. Last week we looked at Facebook, and next week we will focus on Twitter.   LinkedIn’s Tags Sort Your Connections According to LinkedIn’s help center: “Tags are simple keywords to help organize and sort your contacts.

The Power of Facebook Lists: Part I of a Series

Are you using Facebook lists and/or the list features of LinkedIn and Twitter? Doing so can help you stay focused on the segment of your connections most critical to your business success. Each site gives you the ability to group connections as clients, referral partners, groups needing speakers, and much more. For example, perhaps some of the clients with whom you are connected on Facebook are regular posters. To make sure you see their posts, you could create a “clients who are also Facebook friends” list. You can create any type of group or list for the people you are [...]

LinkedIn Groups Are Worth Your While

Are you involved in groups on LinkedIn? If not, I highly recommend that you join and become active in at least a handful. The other members can be a great source of information. They may help you get ready for an interview, find a job, research a topic, prepare a proposal, or discuss issues of interest. The information in this post is drawn from the section on groups in the LinkedIn help center. Purpose of LinkedIn Groups Among the main purposes of LinkedIn groups is to provide a place for professionals in the same industry or with similar interests to [...]
