Editor's Notes
- #2: Thank You I am Russell Chesler, Founder and Director of Achieve IT Consulting and Im going to be talking today about you can use LinkedIn to boost your online marketing activities and expand your network. Im going to be going through some hints, tips and advice to get you started with this online phenomenon Before I start Id like to see a show of hands - Who has heard of LinkedIn - Who has an active profile - Who has made a meaningful introduction through LinkedIn? For those of you who have profiles I hope that my presentation will help you get more out of LinkedIn And for those of you who are currently missing out I hope that this will encourage you to Get In with LinkedIn
- #3: What is LinkedIn? Professional Networking site 90m users in 200 Countries, 5m in the UK alone 3 primary aims - Reconnect with ex-colleagues, contacts, friends - Improve your prospecting by looking for shared contacts who you can be introduced to by a respected colleague - Interact with fellow industry professionals to share opinions and offer advice Unlike Facebook which is a social networking site, this is a professional networking site, with the focus on you, rather than your company Connect and interact with fellow professionals LinkedIn becoming one of THE places to both Hire and be hired. Background research into potential employees Offers another avenue to get introduced to that dream referral!
- #4: So why should you get involved? Online networking is fast becoming more mainstream with more and more people using social networks for business Being active on LinkedIn helps raise your profile in the online world, and allows you to develop your reputation as an expert in your field Lastly, your competitors are using LinkedIn and getting involved. If you dont get interact with your customers online, someone else will!
- #5: Name Title Current Position Photo Education Websites e.g. company / blog Twitter
- #6: Summary: Think of this as your BNI 60 seconds What do you do (in a nutshell) What makes you stand out Why should someone use you over someone else List of areas of Speciality
- #7: List all your previous jobs with timelines and positions This acts as your CV so its important not to leave any gaps!
- #8: Recommendations This is where you really stand out Helps build your credibility on LinkedIn Who looks better: Guy with 20 recommendations or the guy with none? IFDAYDG
- #9: Example of a Great Profile Peter Lurie, Proactive Medical and Life, Fortune Chapter Worked with Peter to help develop his profile Completely filled out Main Section 21 Recommendations List of Published Articles Honours & Awards A lot of people arent comfortable bragging but LinkedIn is a great to place self-promote without having to feel embarrassed.
- #10: Here is an example of a Poor Profile Ive greyed out the name to protect the innocent! No Picture No Links No Recommendations Does nothing to stand out amongst the crowd
- #11: Why is it important to actively develop your network? Without an extensive contact list you're not going to get very far People more likely to connect with you if you have an extensive contact list as this improves your credibility Your ability to get introduced depends on the size of your contact database. The more contacts you have the bigger your 2 nd and 3 rd degree networks! Assume everyone had 200 contacts on LinkedId You would be exposed to 40000 people your 200 contacts could directly introduce you to If you go down to the 3 rd degree of separation thats 8m people!
- #12: Import from Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo or AOL Import from Desktop client (e.g. Outlook) Search Colleagues (based on company) Classmates (based on school / uni) Friends and Family LinkedIn has a People you may know facility which suggests contacts based on your existing network Measure: Size of Network Number of recommendations
- #13: What are they? groups of people in same profession share similar interests work for same organisation membership groups (e.g. BNI) Why join them? This is where using LinkedIn starts really gets interesting Opportunity to partake in topical discussions Keeps you up to date with the latest Industry Happenings Opportunity to network with new people, expand your network, increase chance of being introduced Opportunity to soft-sell When you contribute to a discussion and include a link to your website or blog, the search engines pick up this fresh content and it, in turn, has a positive impact on your search engine optimisation

- #17: 3 types ranging from $25/month to $100/month "Inmails"... Is a message direct to anyone on LinkedIn even if they are not in your network.
