How to Promote Your Business With LinkedIn

Posted by: Adriana Post date: February 18th, 2010

Designed for professionals to network with other professionals, LinkedIn isn’t like other social networking sites. It’s ideal for finding service based companies to work with and if you’re a service company, it’s a great place to be represented. Like many social networking sites, users can invite, create and join groups and search for like minded individuals. However, LinkedIn offers much more.

LinkedIn allows business owners to:

• Receive Recommendations – Other business owners can boost your profile by recommending you and your business.

• Create Groups – Like Facebook, you can create a group for your target audience to join. This gives you the ability to connect with and market directly to them.

• Utilize Applications – LinkedIn offers applications like Blog Link, Polls, and Reading Lists to help you enhance your profile and connect with others.

• Advertise your business on LinkedIn for more awareness, traffic and exposure.

LinkedIn is a fantastic opportunity to build your professional network. Along with Facebook and Twitter, and any other social networking tools you choose to use, promoting and growing your business just got easier.

   I have a question: Do you find Linkedin useful for promoting new web applications? For example, if Twitter was coming out today, would you promote it on Linkedin? Even if people did not know what to do with it? HOW would you promote it?
