LinkedIn is one of the oldest digital platforms and certainly the largest when it comes to business-related social media. Whether you are promoting a business, job searching, or connecting with others in your field, LinkedIn is considered the premier hub of influential, affluent professionals.
We've compiled 10 tips for gaining success and relations in this powerhouse community:
1) InMail is your friend. You’re more likely to get a response from a cold contact on LinkedIn than you are with email.
2) Groups are LinkedIn’s secret weapon. These gather your ideal customers together and give you the opportunity to connect with them directly.
3) Make sure your company page has a great description, photo, and posts regularly. This adds to your professional look and gives you more credibility when cold messaging.
4) Get all your employees to correctly connect to your company page. It’ll boost your follower count and drive more traffic to your page.
