expanding business with linked in.

Linked in is a relatively new social networking site, well not necessarily new, however, not too many people know about it. The best way to describe it for those who have never heard of it is like a more professional version of Facebook, that people use to create business connections.

The whole idea behind linked in is to be linked in. Another way to put this is that Linked in is a way to have connections. On linked in users post a professional picture of themselves, skills, resume and good qualities that might make them seem desirable to have as a business partner or employee. You may now be starting to notice that linked in doesn't follow the trend of other social networking sites and that is true. A business owner can use other sites such as Facebook, twitter, blogger, pinterest, etc to get more customers (and i show you how if you click on it). Linked in on the other hand, is used to instead obtain business partners, or employees. The key to why linked in is special is because it is a place where instead of expanding your business with customers, you can expand your business with professional employees, get advice from specialists and talk to others to see how they might benefit your company.

The way to do this is by making connections or essentially befriending people that either have good connections or are good to be connected to themselves. However to do this you must have something to bring to the table as well if you wish to be be accepted. You can make yourself more desirable by posting links to websites you are affiliated with, posting major accomplishments, and even your resume. Doing that as well as other professionals doing the same, linked in become a good way to network with people who are professionals in particular, fields, niches, or markets. Finding others in similar fields gives you a resource base of people to get help from and puts you on the market if someone ever needs a job done.
