Linkedin offers 4 types of services 1 free the other 3 are paid services; check out what works best for you. It will change as you become more familiar with Linkedin.
How can I use Linkedin to get referrals? Selling your services instead of sharing relevant industry information # 1 mistake.
What does your Professional Heading Say? # 2 mistake
Lack of planning your approach #3 mistake Why did you join Linkedin (because someone either sent us an invite or everyone else is using it. Now that you have joined then what should you do?). Put a plan in place. First of all think offline marketing. When you send out emails, print material, connections to associates or business partners put a tag line that reinforces that a referral is your best compliment. You could also say the same for testimonials. .
A few tips to follow
- Join groups, colleges or universities you went too, companies you may have worked for and other groups that you either belong to now or in the past. People may like you and reconnect with you, they may even need your services.
- Join other groups that maybe of interest.
- Get involved, either ask questions or give answers.
- Check out other applications and most of all share your knowledge.
