Introduction to the LinkedIn Pro Series: Over the next month, I will be doing a series of articles on LinkedIn.com and how to effectively set up and use LinkedIn as a tool for generating new leads, developing new business opportunities, and keeping in regular contact with contacts, prospects, current and former customers, and members of your sphere of influence.
This Week's Installments... In today's installment, we discuss:
- Thought Leaders
- Establish a Group
- Develop a Niche
- Develop Content
- Promote the Group
- Build Mass
- Provide Member Recognition
Feedback, Questions and Comments are Encouraged: Despite the title, this is a "back to basics" series unrelated to the LinkedIn Pro product and is intended to expose real estate professionals to the power of LinkedIn based on simple, easy to understand instructions and tips. Feel free to leave questions, suggestions, etc. in the comments section. For more advanced users of LinkedIn, please share your tips, comments, examples, war stories, etc. in the comments section.
