LinkedIn Pro Series - LinkedIn Strategies - Be a Thought Leader

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.

Interested in Upcoming Training Sessions on LinkedIn?

For real estate professionals in St. Louis. Missouri, the materials for the LinkedIn Pro Series will be used in a live quarterly training session on real estate technology jointly hosted by PREA Signature Realty and Assured Title (formerly Landamerica).
