How to Use LinkedIn For Business

LinkedIn is a fantastic social media site. There’s really nothing else out there like it. Sure, you have Facebook, Twitter, and other social platforms. But, LinkedIn was created strictly for networking and getting the word out there about one’s skills on the job and/or one’s business.

That’s a game changer, when you really think about it. People aren’t typically on Facebook to learn about you or your business. People aren’t on Twitter for that reason either.

Building Relationships via Social Media

If you’re going to be successful with social marketing, it’s very important to pay attention to the relationships you build and tend to.

How to Run Twitter Chats

Some people I talk to in business are frustrated because they aren’t sure how to use Twitter effectively for business. I totally get it. Twitter is very fast moving and it can be hard to find your voice there.

At the same time, there are many business people who successfully use Twitter every day. They’re able to use it to boost their authority, make connections with potential JV partners, and connect with members of their audience.

It’s sort of mysterious how they do this. At least, it was mysterious to me until I really started to investigate what some of the most successful Twitter users were doing. By following the trail of what leads to success and traffic on Twitter, I realized that Twitter Chats, or Tweet Chats, are a very effective strategy.

Taking the Plunge

Now, it’s time to officially set up your group. You don’t have to fear this process at all. You already have plans for what your group will be about. You just have to choose your group’s name and go ahead and set your group up with Facebook’s easy process.

One of the great benefits of Facebook is that it’s not technical at all. It should really only take minutes to get your group up and running. Don’t worry about this process… I promise you it’s not difficult.

I’m going to go through a few of the most basic steps below, though Facebook has fantastic tutorials and will be the most updated.
