Neglecting LinkedIn in Your Social Media Marketing Efforts? Thumbonomics, Chap. 9 Will Change Your Mind
What do execs from all Fortune 500 companies have that you might not have? No, it’s not the salary… Or the six figure bonuses… It’s a LinkedIn profile! Although we’ve covered LinkedIn before in this blog, l it gets the least press of all the major social media marketing portals. That leads me to suspect you might be neglecting it.
Don’t! Using LinkedIn for Business could be your best kept secret.
In Chapter 9 of Thumbonomics: the Essential Business Roadmap for Social Media & Mobile Marketing, you’ll learn why LinkedIn is equally as important as those other social media news hogs, and exactly what to do with it.
Remember, each of these big social media sites also functions as a search engine, and the LinkedIn members who are searching within that site could be valuable connections, prospects, sources of information, and leads that you might never find any other way. LinkedIn is simply a fantastic way to network nationwide with peers in your industry, give yourself exposure as an expert, and even – gasp – find out exactly what your competitors are up to in a completely legitimate way.
