    Hi Samir,

    LinkedIn is heating up as “the” place to be. I encourage anyone serious about their career, business or online marketing to use the links at the bottom of this post to improve what they are doing there now. If you haven’t gotten started on LinkedIn yet, there is no time like now.

    I know many people would argue about this, but i found that LinkedIn is also the Best platform to advertise your business on,Even though the cost is relatively allot higher in comparison with Facebook and Google Adwords, with a minimum of 2$ per click,
    Higher Cost and Less reach but the quality of the traffic is just Gold,
    Making the most of your Business presence on LinkedIn is definitely something worth investing your time and resources on.
    Best wishes!

      Hi Ustad,

      The new features on LinkedIn make profiles far more powerful. The new blogging capability can get strong traffic and increase influence. Some argues with me when I wrote that LinkedIn was the most important social network, but it is more true today than it was when I first recommended it.

    This is awesome advice! I’ve been trying to get my clients to branch out and do this more. I’ve started piecing together a company post on LinkedIn, but it’s difficult to get people to transfer over to this idea of ‘another’ place to post fresh content.

    Here’s an example of what I’ve been doing:

      Hi Jane,

      Even those of us who have optimized our profiles fairly well learn new things every day. I just found out they have ‘LinkedIn Showcase pages’. Who knew? Many aren’t aware you can put videos in your profile.

      The first thing to do is to claim a vanity URL that is easier to share. How-to instructions http://feigenson.us/blog/?p=998
