Recording of live event:
Sorry…Crystal dropped and then when she came back in it the HOA disconnected. We were reviewing what we covered:
Video Highlights:1) Optimize your profile, add video – look at other profiles. Example profiles:

Julie Weishaar NewHorizons123
Sharon Hurley Hall
Viveka (Vivica) von Rosen
2) Create a business page for your business or blog and use it much like a Facebook fan / business page.
3) Apply to blog directly on LinkedIn – see the link at https://growmap.com/linkedin-for-bloggers.
4) Use dropdown to find groups and be selective. Better to be consistently active in a few. (Limit 50 groups.)
5) Focus on making connections. Be sure to get recommendations relevant to what you most want to do. Make yourself easy to recommend.
