Nowadays, it’s not good enough to just create a LinkedIn profile and leave it. You have to engage and grow your professional network. Since this platform continues to evolve, you may be lost on which strategies are the best.
In a recent blog, Scott Gerber, founder of Young Entrepreneur Council, shared some new ways to get the most out of LinkedIn:
- Get Involved in Niche Groups: Many users are members of broad category groups but joining more specific groups is “a great way to be seen as an expert and helpful resource.”
- Use It for Conferences: Using LinkedIn to research speakers, exhibitors and other attendees helps you “meet the right people” before the event starts.
- Start Writing: Blogging and sharing opinions with your LinkedIn network will encourage conversation and feedback within your industry.
- Invest More of Your Time: This strategy is simple. If you want more from LinkedIn, you have to invest more time. “Even just 15 minutes a day will really bring in results.”
