How to Make the Most of Your LinkedIn Presence, pt. 2

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Earlier this week, we reminded some of you that what you get out of social media platforms liked LinkedIn depends on what you put into them. Social media platforms are great tools for improving SEO, but you have to do more than just register. You also have to put some time and effort into presenting yourself.

 

If you feel like you do not have the time to devote to promoting your organization on the internet, there is nothing wrong with getting some help. Increase Visibility can offer you some assistance.

 

Whether you choose to do it yourself or decide to get some help, we want to offer you some tips for getting the most out of LinkedIn.

 

You Can Change Your URL
You have the option of customizing your URL on LinkedIn and you are not limited to the default URL. Changing your URL is one way to bring more people to your website and increase your online visibility.

 

Make Some Connections
The whole point of being on LinkedIn is not just to present yourself and your company, but also to connect with others who are doing the same. So as we said, you have to do more than sign up, you also have to connect and communicate with others. Remember that the more connections you have the more people who are exposed to your organization. Your connections are linked to you directly and the people who they are connected to also have the opportunity to find out more about you.

 

You should choose your connections wisely of course, but if you are normally shy or very restrictive in your acquaintances, consider making your profile one that you will not mind sharing with the world. That way you are free to connect on LinkedIn with a lot of people.
