Social Media Networks like Facebook and LinkedIn offer businesses new channels through which to conduct marketing and advertising. But how effective are these, really? Ask any SEO or online marketing expert and they will tell you that it’s an organic process and it takes time to develop real results. The key is to have good content that turns people into repeat visitors to your website – eventually they will buy.
Really? “If you build it they will come?”
I’ve been getting the hang of LinkedIn as a more professional alternative to Facebook and am a bit baffled: is there some sort of best practice to quickly evaluate a potential link when I don’t recognize their name?
I’ve been building a reference site for use inside my company and am wondering if there’s any way to hack LinkedIn so that we can have a LinkedIn search box for individuals who work in our company? Yeah, we should have a company directory, but the boss is a huge LinkedIn fan…
I’ve been on LinkedIn for quite a while but only recently jumped into Facebook and, wow, Facebook has so many cool capabilities that make it more interesting! The one that really stands out, though, is that I really want to connect my weblog to my LinkedIn account. Is there ANY way to do that, Dave?
I’m housebound due to an illness, but work half-time anyway. The job I have now is okay, but I really want to step up to something better, which I know I can handle. Problem is, I feel like I really need to learn more about how to use modern tools like LinkedIn but don’t know how to proceed. Any suggestions?
Now that I have built up a pretty good network on LinkedIn, I would like to send out a few quick questions now and then, soliciting feedback and input from the group. How do I do that on LinkedIn?
I’m an HR executive and I’ve very recently started using LinkedIn and found it very interesting and helpful but I’m having problems regarding how to use LinkedIn when it comes to searching for the right people, e.g. I’m particularly searching for managers, or asst.managers in IT industry. How do i locate them on LinkedIn?
Probably like a lot of people, I’m a member of what seems like dozens of social and professional networking sites. Of them, my favorite remains LinkedIn. But I can’t add a photo and don’t see photos from others. Surely there’s a way for me to add a picture to my LinkedIn profile?
I’m a LinkedIn enthusiast and find it a terrific tool for both professional networking and job searches at my (executive) level, but when I come back from face-to-face networking events, I often find that I hit my “outstanding invitation limit” on LinkedIn and can’t invite everyone I met to link with me. Why do they have a limit and how to I increase mine?
I’ve been using LinkedIn for a while now, and recently downloaded and tried out the LinkedIn Contact Manager. Now, to my horror, my account has been suspended! What the heck is going on and how do I get it reinstated?
