LinkedIn is a business networking site. However, a lot of people sign up for LinkedIn but never use it beyond occasionally accepting someone’s invitation to join their network. Here at Elance2K, we will guide you through and show you how to leverage LinkedIn to grow your business. The power of LinkedIn is in the network. Therefore, the more involved your contacts are in LinkedIn, the more powerful a tool it becomes.

Consider using LinkedIn’s email when appropriate. For example, when you ask a question, LI allows you to push that question via email to up to 200 of your contacts. You can also send one-on-one messages to your contacts as well, which will bring them back to LI to respond and may show them some recent activity of yours that will generate new business.

Finally, as with any networking or social media site, the more you put into LinkedIn, the more you get out of it. By following the lessons we will teach you, you’ll be a LinkedIn power user in no time, building your network and business along the way.
