SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORK SPOTLIGHT: LINKEDIN



  
LinkedIn is a network changing.  

Among other things, they are a network where small business and big business members interact, first as strangers and then as colleagues. This network is a great place to search a potential client out and find other businesses of the same sort.

Example: Your service is writing business white papers, and looking through local midsize corporations, you can find the head of the particular department that hires and then pays external operations and vendors. And then you can send this person a letter directly telling him or her how essential your business is for them.

LinkedIn will change soon, as the network has no choice but to change because of recent successful hacking; over six million names and passwords were lost by the LinkedIn Servers.

Expect: A focus on security and related-topics to be important to users of LinkedIn as the interface of the Network is upgraded and tough. Honestly, now is a good time to start Marketing on LinkedIn because

Outlook: Still very good, though expect a sharp loss of "connections" as the initial shock of the hacking translates in to loss of interest in some of the network's users. They will bounce back though, as the network still contains methods to find specific kinds of companies and the people within these companies to speak with.

You "Like" This - Promote your Business Effectively Through Facebook!



Want people to "Like" your facebook page fast? For all of us business owners who promote our business through Facebook, we know the more "Likes" we receive, the more potential our business has to grow. But how do you do this, how come your business has been on facebook for what it feels like ages and hasn't received attention? It may not be as hard as it look folks.

Just like any business starting out you have to have personal contact with your customer. Each facebook profile is a potential customer.  Reach out to each profile and ask them to "Like" you, and even show them how. Always include links to your page, whether your writing a blog, on someones wall, a message, etc. 

Add for example Sincerely, Chanler Haden Contributed : ( www.whocanihire.com/about ), then Chanler is now promoting through something so basic as a wall post.

After listening to that tip, I bet you have "Likes" already. Now you need to interact with those fans at least 2 or even 3 times a day. Post links about something interesting or funny. For instance, http://www.facebook.com/#!/whocanihire puts a (joke of the day) on their wall Monday-Saturday. Cool right?!  Now all they're doing is putting their joke of the day on their wall with a link to the joke and  promoting themsleves through something so basic.

The most affective way I have seen interacting with customers is through personally sending them messages with a short one or two sentences telling them what your business is all about. Coupons on your facebook site are another way to promote, "Like" us today and get $10 off when you sign up http://www.facebook.com/#!/whocanihire . Make sure you have a comment box on your page, or a way for customers to leave their advice or opinions. Many customers crave personal attention from you. Respond to all facebook comments in a friendly and polite manner to show off your businesses personality. Always post fun appropriate videos to grab the attention of your social media craving customers.
