Top 5 Ways to Market Your Business With LinkedIn

LinkedIn is the most powerful social networking site to help you grow your business. It makes Twitter, Facebook and YouTube seem like social networking sites for kids.
http://www.business2community.com/facebook/feeding-a-linkedin-page-onto-a-facebook-business-page-065555 Facebook By Vicki Mills , Published October 4, 2011 Customising your Facebook business page takes time and understanding – in order to give your fans the most value possible from your business page it’s important to keep your applications updated and functioning. In case you don’t even know where your apps can be found– they run down the left hand side of your business page and usually have tabs for your wall, friend activity, photos and videos. If you want to take an easy first step into customising your companies Facebook profile then adding the LinkedIn application to your company page is a good place to start – it’s easy to configure, looks great and encourages activity on LinkedIn.

Feeding A LinkedIn Page Onto A Facebook Business Page

LinkedIn can be a great tool to stay connected with business colleagues and clients. But if you’ve spent much time on the business networking site, you’ll notice it seems a lot less colourful than say Facebook where users are constantly sharing photos and video. This may be because LinkedIn doesn’t offer video hosting – any videos that make their way onto LinkedIn need to be hosted elsewhere, like Youtube for example.

Collecting Leads with LinkedIn Ads: Advertising

LinkedIn recently announced a new feature designed to help advertisers collect leads with their LinkedIn ads. The feature, which is currently only available to selected advertisers on a test basis, enables advertisers to collect leads with campaign and contact leads directly on LinkedIn. For those of you out there already using LinkedIn PPC ads, you can switch this feature on by selecting the relevant campaign for lead collection (or by creating a new campaign) and then selecting the ‘edit’ button next to ‘Collect Leads’. You can then select the ‘Yes – You will be allowed to directly contact leads through LinkedIn’ radio button to enable this feature. Once you have made and saved the changes, LinkedIn members who then click on your ad are taken to your landing page with a single-click option to request contact, as shown in the screenshot below. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p> http://www.receptional.com/blogs/advertising/collecting-leads-linkedin-ads

Why I’m Paying Attention to LinkedIn « Tracy Bains

Seven Takeaways for Marketers I’m an avid user of LinkedIn —one of over 120 million professionals from more than 200 countries and territories who have signed up to manage their business identity, keep current with industry news, or search for jobs on this social network. But when I put together a marketing plan, LinkedIn isn’t necessarily the first place I think to advertise. Since I work in the non-profit sector—higher education by day, community development by night—it hasn’t been a natural fit. At least that’s what I thought entering this week’s LinkedIn Marketing Innovation session in Vancouver.

A Guide to Generating Leads on LinkedIn

To me, LinkedIn has always seemed like more of a place to hunt for a new gig than anything else. And since I haven't been in the job market for a while, I've paid it little mind. Plus, I've always thought LinkedIn was kind of ... well, boring. If Facebook is a rave at a hip downtown hot spot, LinkedIn is a stuffy reception with piped-in music at one of those soulless function facilities conveniently located at the end of an exit ramp.
