Did you know that LinkedIn is 277% more effective for lead generation than Facebook and Twitter? LinkedIn is an incredibly powerful marketing tool that you should definitely be taking advantage of.
LinkedIn is known as the largest social media platform for professionals, LinkedIn has over 135 million users, most whom are business professionals.
For businesses, the opportunity to grow through new connections on LinkedIn is invaluable. So, how can you maximize your efforts?
Watch my suggestions in this video.
By doing things differently than the majority of users on LinkedIn, you are setting yourself apart from the rest. Send personal introductions with a real message from you, not the generic ones already created. Send a real message after the connection is made to thank them for accepting your request.
Stand out and watch the leads roll in!
Please connect with me at LinkedIn.

Hi Beverly, at present I don’t really use LinkedIn. I just use FB and a few other places.
I know that LinkedIn users have a lot more money than people on Facebook!
I will move over to LI in the near future…
Thanks

Hi Bev. As good as I think LinkedIn might be I don’t feel that it’s right for me to find my audience from. I think facebook traffic could be far more ‘laser targeted’ etc I find with a lot of people earning more $$ on LinkedIn as such they don’t want to try anything new and want to keep things the way they are. I think by trying too hard on that platform I think that somestimes we can do our industry harm by trying to hard sometimes. Do you know what I mean? William

You can do all that with LinkedIn too.I am using it more and it is really good.Some people seem like they are spamming when they try too hard. Keeping it professional and you can do quite well anywhere.

Hi Beverly,
Thanks for this video;)
I like Linkedin a lot as a matter of fact much more than FB.
The results of google analytics though gave me best results with the same efforts using FB.
I am trying to find the right balance using FB, Tweeter and FB for optimum results, but again it’s a question of time management and the choice of tools these platforms offer according to our market.
What works for me is updating my Linkedin profile once per day and connect with groups once per week.

Linkedin is very different from the other sites but I do believe it is a good one to be a part of.
