The session was packed full with useful information and practical advice. It brought alive for me the potential of LinkedIn, which I had possibly underestimated. 24 hours on and I’ve already made some fundamental changes to my profile and have new ideas on how to integrate my marketing strategy using LinkedIn as a more pivotal component. Thank you, Mark.

Don’t want to promote your past companies?
With the new personal profiles on LinkedIn, graphics and visibility are becoming more and more the order of the day.
One aspect of this is the company logo which now appears next to the company name of where you have worked within the Experience section, highlighting the company and its branding. All well and good if it’s where you work now, I’m sure you’ll agree. However, what about for the places you used to work? (more…)

Share and share alike on LinkedIn
There has been a tendency over recent weeks and months for LinkedIn to try to encourage more social interaction on the site via a number of different elements that they have been building in.
The updates on our homepages are now accompanied with bigger images (sometimes even with the right sizing!), changes to LinkedIn Today have opened up additional avenues for us to share information and be seen doing it and the ability to follow the new ‘Thought Leaders’ section has also encouraged this spread. All of this has allegedly been with the goal of getting more sharing going on … though I don’t supposed it has harmed the ‘time spent on the site’ stats either! 
Anyway, so much for all the enhancements, but what exactly are our options when it comes to interacting and sharing things that we find on LinkedIn. And, specifically, what do the links (more…)

LinkedIn Tip: Get changed in private
Making changes to your profile is key to developing a strong presence on LinkedIn – adding elements and tweaking are useful not just because you are honing the information that you present to people, but also because it makes you more visible to your network.
Automatically, every time you add something to your profile or make a change, then your 1st level contacts are informed via a status update – in general, this is good as it demonstrates to your network that you are active at the same time keeps you ‘front of mind’, even if only in a small way.
However, there may well be times when you’ll want to have a real overhaul of your profile or you want to make certain changes that you would prefer to be made “under the radar” (more…)

LinkedIn MasterClass Series at Social Media Week London
Well, Social Media Week is fast approaching again!
For those of you who might be thinking that time has flow and it doesn’t seem a year since the last one … well, you’re right. The annual event has now been brought in line around the world and so will be taking place here, as elsewhere, between 24th and 28th September after its February appearance earlier in the year.
As ever, there will be loads of events around London (as well as 13 other cities around the world) and, having missed out a little in previous events, I have decided to participate as well on this occasion. I have therefore decided to run a series of LinkedIn Masterclass sessions to run throughout the week.
The LinkedIn Masterclass Series is a set of five 90 minute sessions (more…)

Want to make an impression on LinkedIn? Just say “Hi!”
Short and sweet today and, at the same time, one of the most powerful things you can do on LinkedIn.
You receive an invitation to connect and press the “Accept” button. Another contact made.
Should you leave it at that? I say no. At that moment, perhaps more than any other, you have the perfect opportunity to develop that potential relationship easily and immediately by writing back and getting the conversation going … right there and then.
Think about it for a second and imagine you were doing this face to face. Someone has decided to approach you {sends an invite} and extends a hand with a cheery smile and a brief introduction {personalised message}. You shake it warmly in return {accept invitation} and then … (more…)

Boxing clever on LinkedIn with box.net
There are lots of great applications on LinkedIn that we can use to spice up our Personal profile – either to share content we have created elsewhere, to get key information in front of people in various relevant places, or simply to use in a way which helps to develop the goals that we have for our use of LinkedIn.
For me, one of the key ones that I always outline in the LinkedIn courses I run is Box.net. This ranks alongside content from the blog applications and Slideshare.net as a primary route to get your content in front of people in a format which is different to the ‘plain’ text which permeates the rest of your profile … no matter how interesting you have managed to make it! 
The fact that you can offer (more…)
