Is Linkedin For You?

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Chris And Susan

Statistically, with 85 million users and one new member being added every second Linkedin is certainly worth looking at.  It is considered to be the premier social networking site for professionals.

Linkedin was the first social networking site we belonged to long before Facebook and Twitter took over in popularity but it worked then just as it does now in building your brand, your reputation and getting collegues to give you testimonials and recommend you to others.  If you get it right your network grows exponentially but like Facebook it needs to be done in the right way or you will fall flat on your face!

Coincidentally our friends at Social Media Examiner have also decided the time is right to share their knowledge on Linkedin with their subscribers and followers and we hope that you will find this interesting too.  Just click here to read the full article and why not subscribe to their newsletter while you are there if  Social Media is your thing.

If you would like to connect with us on Linkedin we would love to see you there

We also have a great pdf to share which you can download here

Enjoy and please share

Social Proof Counts

Posted on January 12, 2011 by Chris And Susan

There is no doubt that social proof makes all the difference to how people see you and it is not something you can make up or spoof.  When someone else talks about you or recommends you that is social proof and it is a great feeling for both the recipient and the person giving the testimonial when it is generously given.

We are avid fans of Katie Freiling and members of The Unified Tribe so it is great to be able to re-blog such great content and there is no need to pretend it is your own content.

This is what she says

“When you have great social proof on your blog, your visitors are much more likely to want to follow you, listen to you, and buy from you because they SEE that what you are sharing is really valuable!

Even if you don’t have a product or service of your own just yet… You can still simply and easily grab testimonials from Twitter and add them to your blog whenever someone sends you a “tweet” that sings your praises! ”
