Always start a marketing technique by thinking about the people who are using it and what they want to get from it. You can't start advertising your business all over the LinkedIn discussion boards and expect to get any leads. You can't invite strangers to connect with you, because they will send up red flags against you. LinkedIn is primarily a giant network of business professionals. So the people who are on LinkedIn are looking to connect with other professionals to grow their business networks, and find people who can assist them in their business or career. As you market you want to think of what type of mindset a LinkedIn user has. Generally they are there to learn tips, strategies, and tools for success. Whatever marketing platform you are using, you must always ensure you position you and your business in an appealing way to that particular audience. Keep that in mind as you get your LinkedIn campaign started: How are YOU going to help? LinkedIn is a completely different audience from other social networks. Here people appreciate professionalism, so don't have a family beach photo on your profile, and don't have a big explanation of your wonderful lifestyle. Put up a good professional looking phot of yourself, talk about your experience and your business opportunity in a professional way. You are establishing yourself as someone who can truly assist others in achieving their goals, so discuss your role as a business owner from that aspect. Who can you help? What sets you apart as someone who has their solution? The aim here is not to be aloof or unfriends, but keep it professional. How are you already Helping? As always: provide great relevant content! Most people use the discussion boards to mastermind and learn. A very simple strategy is to pick your target market and join related groups. Create an article daily and make sure it provides them good information. It's best if the information is somethign that can be taken away and applied. Put the article in the discussion board for every group. If you provide good content, it will be perfectly fine to have the same discussion on multiple boards. Sign your name, number and website at the bottom of your article, and let people come to you. How do you Connect? It's important not to rush to connect with people on LinkedIn. How you connect is very important. Some people send connection invitations to people they have had no interaction with before. People tend to be careful who they make connections with as those people have access to their email and other personal details. Always wait until you have had some form of conversation first. When you receive comments on your discussions then invite those people to connect, and attach a personal note that reminds them that they responded to you. If you take the time and have the patience to work this way the people you do connect with will be more targeted, they will know who you are and are a lot more likely to check your profile, sites,etc. Like everything the key here is consistency. You have to build a reputation and show people that you truly are a leader. It is well worth the extra time to have leads that actually trust you and want to work with you. You need to apply this daily during the working week and you will begin to build a reputation as a leader and someone who delivers over and over again. Remember in Network Marketing, the leaders always win. Everyone wants to work with someone who can truly assist them in their success. Start building your reputation today and you will be rewarded for the time you put it! The second day I used this strategy I got 10 leads, so it can happen quicker than you think. This is just scratching the surface of what you can do with LinkedIn. Educate yourself, start writing your content today, and prepare to create massive success in your network marketing business
