50 Powerful Tips on Using Social Media for Your Business (Tips 11-20)

11. Set up a LinkedIn profile.  Be as precise in what you do and what you sell as possible.

12. Add a picture to your profile. LinkedIn users range from small business owners to freelancers to corporate executives. All of them like to see who they are doing business with.

13. Include background information that will generate hits. This includes schools attended, past employers, and anything else that you have done in your life. You never know what will lead to a connection.


14. Search LinkedIn. Find other people that you have some sort of connection with, such as a high school, college, or past employer.

15. As part of a another search, use keywords that have to do with the type of products you offer. You may come across people who work with companies or in fields that could use what you have to sell.

16. Always respond to queries or messages your receive from other LinkedIn members, even if they are general queries. They may pass your web site address on to other people if the two of you get along.

17. Check out other profiles for ideas on how to present yourself. You may come across something that would work very well and increase your visibility.

18. Update your data from time to time. If your LinkedIn profile appears active, it will draw more attention.

19. Post a link to your LinkedIn profile on Twitter. It will help increase your LinkedIn network as well as your Twitter followers.

20. Devote a few minutes each day on LinkedIn, actively looking for new contacts. People sign up every day, so there is always potential there.
