How to Make the Most of Your Time on LinkedIn
Jerome Knyszewski
We ALL know that LinkedIn is the place to be to network,
conduct business, meet new partners
and advance our careers, however the great majority of
individuals I discuss LinkedIn with,
are not sure as to what to do and how to do it.
We ALL know that some have tremendous success generating new leads,
We ALL know that some have tremendous success generating new leads,
engaging
new prospects, creating fantastic business alliances,
but most might have had
zero success, so the disconnect feels painful.
We ALL have 24 hours a day and we all need to figure out HOW to make the most
out of our time on LinkedIn if we want to fall in love with LI.
I will, in the next 3 articles share with you what
I do on LinkedIn and how I do it,
so that it yields the best results for the time and
effort spent -invested-, the intent of this article
is to give you some insight and tips that you might apply
to yourself and find great benefit, or,
if it doesn't match your business model, just ignore it,
or adapt it.
FIRST: let's make it clear:
IT WORKS FOR ME,
it might very well work for you too!
IT WORKS FOR ME,
it might very well work for you too!
Let's start this with some screen captures from my
account so you see what can be achieved
and if you feel this is what you'd like to do, just
follow the advice.
1: SET A TIME LIMIT & GOAL
FACT: most of us tend to get sucked up into social media sites like dust in vacuum cleaners,
FACT: most of us tend to get sucked up into social media sites like dust in vacuum cleaners,
5 minutes turn into 2 hours.
So it is CRUCIAL to set a LIMIT of time you will spend on
LinkedIn,
I shoot for 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the GOALS I
have.
Goals vary from day to day and person to person, but make
sure you hold yourself accountable
to not go over those limits on regular basis, very
quickly,
you will not be investing time on Linkedin, but
WASTING it.
2: INTERACT WITHIN THE GROUPS YOU BELONG TO
On linkedin you can join about 50 groups,
On linkedin you can join about 50 groups,
you can search and select the groups you'd like to join
with amazing accuracy.
Some groups are small others are HUGE (they max out at
1,000,000 members).
The greatest majority of linkedin members have joined many groups,
The greatest majority of linkedin members have joined many groups,
but what good does it do, if you don't interact!?
PRO TIP: Don't be one of those that
post dozens of times each day!
STAND OUT by complimenting others, liking other's
posts, commenting, giving value,
sharing your insights, trust me, profile views will
come and connection requests will follow!
3: ENDORSE!
I know, endorsements feel lame and senseless, so many find them ridiculous and roll their eyes
I know, endorsements feel lame and senseless, so many find them ridiculous and roll their eyes
as they receive endorsements for skills they don't really
leverage in their business and career.
Many feel even more awkward when they receive
endorsements from folks they never met
or dealt with. I agree, all this is bit strange, but do
it, do it and do it again!
Why? Because by endorsing people you are connected with,
Why? Because by endorsing people you are connected with,
you are staying in front of them in a non invasive
way.
You could and should send a message to thank those that endorse you
You could and should send a message to thank those that endorse you
and ask what skills you could endorse to help them. Give,
give and give.
As long as LinkedIn keeps this feature, make use of
it.
This will get you more profile views, and someone might have forgotten
This will get you more profile views, and someone might have forgotten
they were connected to you until, they received the
notification from LI:
Jerome Knyszewski endorsed you for "goat milking
skill"
PRO TIP: Get the LinkedIn app, a
lot of these "tasks" are much easier
and executed much faster from the LI applications!
It takes me about half the
time than on my laptop.
