10 Tips for Marketing on LinkedIn

This is the guest post by James Adams who writes at cartridges.

LinkedIn has a stunning 75 million members. All types of people use LinkedIn as their resume network, from presidents and CEOs to production line workers. Are you using your LinkedIn network to market your products and services to the masses? Here are some tips for marketing your business on LinkedIn.

Also Read: 10 Best Social Network Sites for Business Professionals

1. Use your network - Connect with your former coworkers and colleagues through the LinkedIn network. The person who was the line worker yesterday may now be the CEO at one of your target businesses. Get in contact with your colleagues and peers, make introductions and use that network to your best advantage.

2. Join discussions - There is a group for nearly every conceivable purpose on LinkedIn. Search through LinkedIn to find discussion groups about your fields of expertise. Become an active participant in these groups and establish yourself as an expert. To be the most effective, you need to be an active participant within the group, so make sure that you can devote the time and effort to cultivating your company's reputation.

3. Create a group - After participating in some of the discussions, make a group of your own. Being an administrator allows you to create subgroups and start discussions. You can poll the members of your group about important breakthroughs within the field. You can make job postings for the other member. Ask your current contacts and employees to be part of the group to provide more exposure for your brand.

4. Personalize your profile - Create a personalized profile. Add pictures and share your interests with other LinkedIn users. People want to have a sense of connection to those with whom they do business. Be specific with your offered services, but make sure that you are warm and compassionate with your presentation. Add some flair.

5. Promote yourself - Market your LinkedIn profile to others by putting links on your other social networking sites. Put a link to your profile on your business cards and within your email signatures. Make a link in the 'about' section of your blog. You want to make yourself as accessible as possible within the social marketing sphere.

6. Be active - Having the LinkedIn account is not enough, you have to be active. Social networks are not instant, they take time to cultivate. Attract new people to your profile by giving them great blog posts, updating your content and providing value to your community.

7. Answer questions - There are questions which need to be answered and you are in the perfect position to offer your expertise to the situation. Let others see the depth and breadth of your knowledge. When you offer answers on LinkedIn, there is a link to your profile and your company. If you have recently blogged the answer to a question, feel free to put links to that blog post. When you are looking for goods and services, ask questions and you will receive new contacts.

8. Links - Encourage your employees to link to the company's group and webpage within their profiles. Each of these links increases the number of backlinks that you have, potentially lifting your company within the page rankings. You do not want to be bold and dramatic, you want to let others know about the services which you provide.

9. Request Recommendations - Take the time to request testimonials from your clients and your colleagues. These show up on your profile and can sway potential customers toward you. When you encourage recommendations, you are letting others have a voice about your products, services and reputation. Remember to give honest referrals for others in return.

10. Use Keywords - Keywords are important because they make you more visible in the search engines. Place the emphasis on the services that your company performs rather than the name of the company itself. When you are looking for a great internet marketer, you search for 'internet marketing,' rather than 'Joe's Services.' Pepper key words and phrases throughout your summary so that others know about your great products and services.

10 Tips for Using Twitter to Promote Your Site

Promoting your blog through Twitter takes persistence, but your efforts will pay off in the form of new readers. There are several things to keep in mind when promoting your blog on Twitter.

1. People care about themselves

Just as you want to be on Twitter to have people flock to your site, others are using Twitter to find solutions to their own needs. You want to offer some value to others, rather than talking about yourself.

2. Listening is valuable

If you are new to tweeting, read the tweets that others are posting. Get ideas of what tactics you'll use to do your blog promotion. Many new bloggers want to jump right into the Tweetosphere without exercising discretion.


3. Free stuff is great

Others will go to great lengths to get their hands on free stuff even if the free stuff has no value to you. Many folks will become very excited about things that they don't need if the right tone is used.

4. Content is still king

You have traveled outside of the blogosphere. Content is still king. Write compelling headlines for blog articles and use Twitter to promote them. If people are interested, they will follow you back to your blog.

5. Coupons are cool

If you sell a product, offer discounts to people who follow your tweets. You can sell more items as well as get a good handle on who is following your public tweets. This generates a lot of new business that you can capitalize on.

6. You must be present to win

If you are going to use Twitter as a viable means of promotion, you have to be paying attention to what is going on. this means that you can't show up for a day or two and then let it just happen. Set aside a time for tweeting every day and learn.

7. Whiny people suck

People don't want to be guilt tripped into going to a blog. They will feel resentment and aggravation. they won't go in the first place, or won't stay there for very long. Tweets which sound broken down or desperate get ignored.

8. Don't be a parrot

If all you do is mimic other people's content, your followers will become more prone to read that other person's work instead of yours. Retweeting some things is okay if interesting, retweeting everything leads others to believe that you really have nothing to say.

9. Spreading the word is fun

Talk about stuff other than yourself or your blog. If something interesting or entertaining is happening in your neighborhood, talk about it. There are often community events which are worth noting to the world.

10. Learn from the best

There are thousands of people out there who use their tweeting effectively. Find out more about these people by following their tweets and learn from their style. The more you learn, the more followers you can get.

Twitter is a great tool to use for long term growth of your blog. It is used to develop trust, not the immediate sale. The best rules to follow are to be yourself and have fun.
