HOW TO SUCCEED ON LINKEDIN

Succeeding on Linkedin really boils down to whether or not you are correctly using all of its features. If not, you’re simply not getting the most out of this lead generation social media platform.

Finding the right people to contact on Linkedin has never been easier with the suggested contacts based on your network. Before you reach out to new connections, you can learn more about them and how closely connected they are to your network with LinkedIn insights.

Contribute to your LinkedIn community by sharing useful information, articles or even start a thought-provoking conversation. It really is the quickest way to get seen and if you consistently provide readers with valuable content, you will be known as a worthy contributor.

LinkedIn being your public resume should highlight all your accomplishments, big and small. You really want to make sure that you have the perfect LinkedIn profile, this is your time to shine and boast about all the great things you’ve achieved so far.

If you want more out of your profile and want to elevate your presence to the next level, add featured apps. Sync your tweets with LinkedIn or share a behind the scenes look at your company with SlideShare, you can optimise your profile depending on the type of content you would like to share.

Whatever you decide to do make sure to keep it consistent. LinkedIn users are very loyal and less likely to also be using other social media platforms. So while LinkedIn to you is just another aspect of your social media marketing strategy, to others, it is their bread and butter. Maintaining a strong presence on LinkedIn will really pay off in the long run.
