WHY
300 million users These affluent, ambitious, and influential professionals have an average household income of $107,000, and over 50% of them represent some level of senior management. If you are a business professional and you do not have a powerful presence on LinkedIn, you are missing valuable opportunities to connect and grow your business.
WHY
Accurate targeting, based on authentic data, is the foundation of the LinkedIn platform. Its accurate because it draws from actual profile data provided by and continually updated by our members. You can also target the 1st degree connections of specific members. And you can use their behavior on LinkedIn—like what Groups they join to inform targeting. Marketers can use our targeting data to tailor their messages and content.
WHY
The ability to see your immediate professional connections on LinkedIn as well as your 2nd and 3rd degree connections opens up a powerful network to you that you could never replicate on your own. As your connections grow, your professional network grows exponentially. !LinkedIn is a virtual trade show
HOW!Properly optimized pages, both company and employee can boost SEO and organic visibility !• Include a professional headshot • Include keywords in job position title • List skills that are part of your future role • Link to company blog under “Websites” • Add Twitter handle • Claim unique URL and then drop it into email signatures
HOW
Upload your contacts from Outlook, webmail like Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, or other address books. You can do this via the green “Add Connections” button in the menu on the left on every page; then click on the “Import Contact” tab.
