You will find the LinkedIN tips I am going to share over the next few days and weeks of benefit when:

  • You are already on LinkedIN but haven't yet truly grasped how you can make it work for you.
  • You aren't on LinkedIN but are curious and willing to explore.
  • You have dismissed LinkedIN as just one more social network. (It's not like the rest, I promise!)

The KEY to success on LinkedIN is to have a plan. I know this sounds obvious but so many people simply climb aboard the social networking band wagon randomly. They have no plan, no strategy, no goals, and no clue! They end up (as you might be) frustrated, wasting time, overwhelmed, and declaring social networking worthless. It isn't.

  1. So what are your GOALS on LinkedIN?
  2. Do you want to build your credibility inside and outside of your industry?
  3. Are you looking for new markets, new prospects, new ideal clients?
  4. Do you want to generate greater visibility?
  5. Are you recruiting key personnel?
  6. Do you want to network with colleagues and peers?
  7. Are you seeking investors for products, programs, research or development?
  8. Do you want to reconnect with workmates and classmates from previous opportunities and institutions?
  9. Are you a manufacturer looking for distribution?
  10. Do you want to get active in an industry organization?
  11. Are you a wholesaler seeking more retail outlets?

These are just a few of the many GOALS you may have, get clear on your desired outcome for LinkedIN. Once you know this clearly, you can develop a winning strategy + implementation + monitor/measure in order to reap your rewards.

When you don't know what you want your outcome to be, you won't know if you are going to get there and you won't be able to determine which steps to take.
