Do you have a LinkedIn profile? Do you wonder why this social media tool is just as important as all the other ones? Well, we have answers about why every strong social media strategy must include LinkedIn.
For starters, LinkedIn is the number one business network. LinkedIn has over 50 million users all over the globe with every Fortune-500 company represented. This is a network you cannot afford to miss. LinkedIn is easy to setup and forget. But just like you forget LinkedIn, so do all your LinkedIn Connections. Your connections forget about you.

Concerned that you’ll waste too much time on social media? Well, you should be! If you aren’t clear on why you’re using social media, you can invest hours without accomplishing anything (except maybe having lots of fun and connecting with your long lost high school buddies).
A good social media strategy must be well thought out, targeted and aligned with your company goals. Thus, the first step is to make sure you start by revisiting your company goals. Only then can you start thinking about social media and how it can compliment your objectives.
There are endless ways and ideas for almost every business to use Social Media i.e. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, and blogging. In fact almost every day we are asked how to use Social Media in business. To start answering this question Square Martini Media has started a new series called the “Social Media Minute”. Each week you will find a new blog post and YouTube video with an idea or way you can use Social Media in your business. We will cover questions we are often asked about Social Media, ideas we share with our clients, and explore Social Media uses for all types of industries.

I am constantly asked how I use Linkedin to grow my business. For a lot of businesses and professionals Linkedin is a mystery. Often times when we speak on using Social Media to grow your business we will ask by show of hands “who has a Linkedin account?”. Typically most of the room will raise their hand. Of course when we follow up with “who has received businesses or referrals from Linkedin?” or “who knows how to use Linkedin for their business?” only one or two hands will remain!
Linkedin gives you the ability to control your online identity. Have you Googled yourself lately? What comes up for you? It is all positive? Maybe a few negatives? Or worse does nothing come up at all? Linkedin profiles quickly rise to the top of search results letting you control what people see about you and your company online. Let me say this in another way… You are in complete control of what people see about you on your Linkedin profile therefore you are in complete control on what people read about you online! You must take advantage and leverage this!
