With Michele Scism

 

August 12th, 2014






LinkedIn can be a powerful marketing tool. Unfortunately, many businesses are turning away potential clients because they do not know how to use LinkedIn correctly.

 

In this interview, Michele will share her best LinkedIn tips…

 

In this exclusive tele-class you will learn:

 

  • What to do next – You have a LinkedIn Profile – now what?
  • The Top 3 Mistakes Business Owners are Making on LinkedIn (and What to Do Instead)
  • How to drive massive traffic to your website using LinkedIn
  • 3 LinkedIn tips to help you start profiting from your LinkedIn time

    Thank you Michele and PJ for this insightful call. I set up my LinkedIn profile during a List-a-Palooza Power Hour last month and have made 261 connections so far, but I hadn’t known what do do from there. With your step-by-step tips, I now feel ready to jump in and do something to develop the connections I have now and add more to my network.

      Yay, LeeAnn! 😀

    QQQ Thank you Michele and PJ for such an excellent call. What great detail! Best takeaway: social media is for marketing not sales!!!

    One question: Like a lot of other people I’ve been asked to publish on LinkedIn. And already there is a glut of information coming in from everyone. Do you see the ROI of publishing right on LI versus your blog entries being posted to LI?

    Thanks for such a comprehensive coverage of LinkedIn today!

    GREAT stuff, Michele!! I appreciate the info, but also your clarity in articulating the tips.

    QQQ – what’s the deal about endorsements? I have not yet figured out if they have value. I sorta kinda endorse people for things, and see them endorsing me… but what’s it all about (strategically, that is).

    Thanks!

  • sharon Roemmel says:

    Take advantage of opportunity to post video. I didn’t know you could do that.

  • Gwenda Joyce says:

    Michelle, You are so informative! I already posted a blog post to my LInkedIn feed. But my options to share are only Public, Public & Twitter, and Connections.

    It doesn’t let me publish to my groups. Anything I can do?

    • Karen Wyatt says:

      QQQ

      Gwenda, I have had the same problem. I used to be able to post blogs to multiple groups using the Share button but it no longer works now. I have had to go to each group and post the blog multiple times. I hope someone knows another way around this!!

      Thanks,
      Karen

    QQQ – People I’ve never done work for have endorsed me for certain skills. Am I supposed to endorse them back?

    • Nela Dunato says:
      at

      You don’t need to reciprocate, but if you know them well enough to know what they’re really good at, it would be nice.

      I don’t even endorse my boyfriend for things he knows very little about, because he thought it was somehow relevant to add. And I’m bugged that people endorse me for a certain CMS I last used in 2004.

  • Nela Dunato says:
    at

    QQQ so you basically accept every single request you get? I’ve been really picky with who I add, since LinkedIn was supposed to be the place where you connect with people you know already. Huh.

  • LeeAnn Hardy says:
    at

    QQQ:
    Is there a way to look at someone’s LinkedIn profile without them being notified that you’ve done so?

    • Nela Dunato says:
      at

      There was a setting where you could turn it off, but then you don’tgget notified either. Not sure if it’s still available.

    Since FB is coined as the “Info” Social media outlet, what info and how often should we post content/marketing strategies on LinkedIn?

  • Coach Adam says:
    at

    QQQ I keep getting invitations from people I don’t know. Should I connect with them?

    • Avalaura says:
      at

      I do! I connect with everyone, you never know who people are and how they can assist you!

    • PJ Van Hulle says:
      at

      If they look legit, I accept the request. If they have no photo or info in their profile, I don’t.

      • Linda says:
        at

        Totally agree with PJ here. And I do the same for all the social media sites. I too have gotten some creepy requests and ‘suggestions.’ I always want to say for cryin’ out loud! I’m old, I’m tired, and if you can’t do better than that, why would I want you?

  • Linda says:

    OMG! I thought I was the only one to go through the alphabet! LOL!

    • Erica says:

      LOL I was thinking the exact same thing! Great minds! It’s a good feeling to know that we are doing what the experts are doing! – Best of luck to you! – Erica

      • Linda says:

        I know! I post to twitter but hate it. I like FB but there’s too much junk and playing. I’ve been having a love affair with LinkedIn. Serious but fun and interesting people who share, participate and encourage. It’s gone a long way in improving my self-confidence as I grow. (That’s the only reason I’ve become a Ninja there. Hard work and trial and error.)

    Hey, everybody!

    This looks like a great session! LinkedIn is becoming such a powerful marketing tool but, it’s unclear what best practices are for growing your list. As a professional service-oriented speaker and founder of a non-profit Cat Sanctuary I’ve made some wonderful like-minded contacts. Really looking forward to learning more about how to use LinkedIn.

    Here’s to a super session!

      Yo Niki! thought I was late, and was the first on the audio site!
      Coach Stacy couldn’t make it today, I guess, but she posted here first.
      I think a lot of us have relied on those replays!

    Hello PJ, Michele, et al,

    Sorry I cannot be with you live today, Lord willing on Thursday – having an internet deficiency while juggling current commitments.

    Enjoy Michele’s talk, I think this is a topic not too many are talking about, yet it’s one of the first sites people go to these days when they really want to know about a person = potential. I’ll be back to read everyone’s comments & questions when I can.

    With you in spirit 😉

    • PJ Van Hulle says:

      Thanks for stopping by, Stacy! Good luck with your juggling. 🙂
