Linkedin

Linkedin is a professional social networking site. It's like a Facebook for professionals. You can use it to connect with friends and business colleagues. It's also a great place to connect with over 10 million professionals.

You can leverage Linkedin to help to increase visibility and the branding of your name whether it be as a lensmaster or for your day job profession. It can also be used to help to bring in direct sales and to help to generate traffic and to boost your lenses SEO.

Like with all of the other websites that I have mentioned here, it is important that you keep it professional and do not spam others. It will both bring down your name and the name of your fellow lensmasters here at Squidoo.

You can use your network on Linkedin to increase the number of contacts you have, to keep a trusted circle of contacts, or both. If you want, you are potentially connected to millions of other contacts with Linkedin.

You can use Linkedin to share your lenses or websites, to share your expertise and establish yourself as an expert in your field, to bring readers to you lenses or blogs, or to potentially find new work in your area of expertise.

To help with your SEO and traffic, be sure to link to your lensmaster page, lenses, and websites in your employee profile. Be sure to take advantage of the answers pages as they are indexed by the search engines and will drive traffic with through their links.

Linkedin is great because it is free, it helps with word of mouth promotions, it has nearly unlimited potential, and you can use it to find the right people in your desired niche.
