2 Simple Ways To Get Business From Your LinkedIn Account

 
LinkedIn can often be a point of contention among business colleagues. Some will sing its praises, others are sure of its failures. But what can LinkedIn really do for your Business? The answer is simpler than you think. Here are two tactics to using LinkedIn to its fullest advantage.
 
1. Link Link Link
 
Some business owners think having a business profile or social media account is enough to garner attention for their site. The truth is, the real power comes from linking these profiles together, and then linking them with yourself. Put your website's url in your LinkedIn account. Put the link to your LinkedIn account on your website. Put both of them on Facebook. Put your LinkedIn profile link on your personal profile when you send out blogs. You're probably starting to notice a trend. Linking your social media profiles together and with your company content interlocks their fingers, and when someone searches for your site on Google, they will be presented with all your access no matter what results they find. 
 
2. Use It
 
LinkedIn isn't a static listing, its a social media site constantly brimming with new business. You have to have to be paying attention when new business shows up. That means finding new contacts, seeking people out and forming conversations with people on LinkedIn everyday. But it's not just about getting contacts, its about getting the right ones. Pick people who you would actually work with in real life, not people who are there to just help your numbers. LinkedIn members give authority to users that use their profile constantly yet carefully.
