Use LinkedIn to Promote Your Organizations You Support

Have you thought to use LinkedIn to promote your organizations you support? Many people think of Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter when it comes to promoting these organizations. In addition, LinkedIn offers many opportunities to spread the word about your organizations.   How to Use LinkedIn to Promote an Organization If you’re a member of the Board, be sure to include that information in the experience section of your profiles. Positions in this section get more attention than those in the volunteer experience section. As a result of this attention,  more people will see "job changes" you make within the organization.

Pros and Cons of Announcing Job Changes on LinkedIn

There are certainly pros and cons of announcing job changes on LinkedIn. Have you thought about the possible repercussions of announcing job changes on LinkedIn? Perhaps you didn’t know that you have the option to announce or not. Many of my clients prefer not to announce job changes or other changes they have made to their profile. They simply don't see a need to let their connections know about these changes. Most of the time, I choose this option as well. Yet, there can be benefits to sharing these changes, especially a change of job or position. Recently, I was [...]

Use Filters to Enhance Your LinkedIn Searching Experience

Do you use filters to enhance your LinkedIn searching experience? Using filters narrows your search results. With fewer people to look through, you can find the kinds of people you are looking for more quickly.   How to Find Filters Let’s say I want to get to know more business coaches in the Denver area. I type the words “business coach” into the search box and scroll down to the bottom of what LinkedIn shows me. Then, I click on the words “search for all results for business coach.” The filter “tabs” available to people with a free account are: [...]

Ways to Leverage Your LinkedIn Connections

We have often talked about making the most of your content, but what about leveraging your LinkedIn connections? Too often, it doesn’t occur to LinkedIn users to reach out to their connections. To this type of user, LinkedIn is simply a resume on steroids. They put some time into their profile and then figure they’re all set. It is essential to remember that LinkedIn is a social site with the dynamic nature that implies. When we effectively engage with our connections, we can make LinkedIn work for us.   How Many Connections Do I Need to Have? The ideal number [...]

Be Strategic When Using Notifications on LinkedIn

I advise that you be strategic when using notifications on LinkedIn. If you don’t take this approach, you can get overwhelmed by notifications. Then you are likely to simply ignore them rather than use them. If you check notifications on a regular basis, even once a week, you can get some helpful information. This LinkedIn feature is one of my favorites, as it helps me to track on the activities of my connections. For example, LinkedIn will tell you when your connections are celebrating a work anniversary or gotten a new job. I’ve landed several new clients by commenting on [...]

How the Power of Weak Ties Can Work for You on LinkedIn

Have you ever thought about how the power of weak ties can work for you on LinkedIn? Wait a minute, you might be saying. What are weak ties? And how can they be powerful if they’re weak?   What are Weak Ties? Here is an edited version of the definition of weak ties from Wikipedia’s Interpersonal Ties entry: Interpersonal ties, that is the connections or ties between people, come in three varieties: strong, weak, and absent. Some researchers theorize that weak ties are actually responsible for most of the structure of social networks, as well as the transmission of information [...]

Use LinkedIn to Enhance Your Email Introductions

Do you use LinkedIn to enhance your email introductions? Perhaps I should back up and ask if you do email introductions. One of the many reasons I thrive in the entrepreneurial world is my knack for connecting people I think should meet each other. In fact, people I’ve introduced via email have complimented me on how well I compose these emails. One reason for this is that many years ago, I got the idea of including the URL to the LinkedIn profile for each of the people I’m introducing. I do this for a couple reasons. First, giving access to [...]
