LinkedIn is one of the most powerful social networking and digital platforms to build your personal and business brand of authority, influence and human connection.
If you think LinkedIn is just for finding a job, you are missing out on opportunities to ignite brand awareness, build community, earn trust with your target audience, and grow your business.
LinkedIn has more than 700 million members in more than 300 countries and regions worldwide. There are also more than 50 million companies setup on LinkedIn.
Bottom line, LinkedIn converts to real business.
I've been a power use of LinkedIn since 2005 when I joined their beta launch of the platform. At the time I was working at an enterprise technology company and was fascinated at using the platform to connect with industry leaders, colleagues as well as building community for our company.
Fast forward to today and I now have more than 350,000 followers on my personal LinkedIn profile, 15,000 connections and professional relationships to last a lifetime, LinkedIn has provided my personal and business brands the highest ROI of any platform I have used.
