Linkedin For Beginners


LinkedIn is a social network with over 53 million users that enables you to make better use of your Professional network and help the people you trust in return. It's no secret that LinkedIn is a great placen to network professionally, post and find jobs, and answer questions and build thought leadership. It isn probably the most obvious way to identify influential individuals at specific organizations. A search for your target business or title on LinkedIn will identify people you may already be connected with, either directly or through your connections. LinkedIn is a great tool to leverage your existing contacts to connect with people and find potential customers online.

Are you new to Linkedin and don’t know your head from tail. This first thing you need to do is
 SET UP YOUR PROFILE ON LINKEDIN
Setting up a LinkedIn Profile is free and quick. You will receive a confirmation email to activate
Your profile and then you are set to expand your network

Complete your profile. Your profile should be 100% complete. Add work experience,
schools, and other relevant information about yourself. People searching for contacts
will make a decision to connect or not to connect based on the information you provide
in your profile. A complete profile will increase your visibility and help you get found by
employers, recruiters, and prospects.

 Upload a profile photo. People are more likely to connect with you if they recognize
your face and they feel like they are connecting with a real person.

Get recommended. Ask for recommendations from friends, colleagues, partners, and
clients. This will speak to your experience and add to your credibility in your industry
Promote Your Company. Include a link to your company’s website. LinkedIn allows you
