Are You Leveraging Linked In?
By Jan Marie DoreAre you on LinkedIn yet? I’ve been on it for several years. At first it was not very useful to me. This year though, things have changed. I’m connecting with more and more people and becoming involved with more groups and answering questions on LinkedIn. It’s one of the big three social media tools that I use. The other two are Twitter and Facebook.
John Jantsch of Duct Tape Marketing wrote a post today on
“5 Tips for Getting More from LinkedIn“.
I have been doing several of the things John recommends, but not all. Here’s a summary of John’s top 5:
- get a branded URL and put links in your profile
- recommend other professionals with testimonials
- answer questions to demonstrate your expertise
- build your network by leading a niched group
- use some of the 3rd party applications to call in your content, such as your tweets and blog posts

I’d love to know if LinkedIn has been effective for you?
