I am on Linked In, but I don’t use it as much as I probably should. I just started sharing my posts over there, so maybe that will help.
This is a great article! I love LinkedIn. I think it’s one of the most underrated social media sites out there.

This sounds really great. I will be sure to tell my sister about it. I am not sure what she uses.
Hey Coach Donna,
I was using LinkedIn a lot more heavy in the past but I didn’t have the best experience with it. But back then I didn’t target my market as well as I should have. Plus now I know some great entrepreneurs that are serious about what they do, they know where they want to go with their businesses and we all have been supportive of each other. I will check to see what groups they are in Linkedin.
Thanks for sharing the info.! Have a good one!

I don’t have a good market in LinkedIn because my blog has nothing to do with my profession (at work). Anyway, I think LinkedIn is a great avenue to promote a profile as well.
This is such a bright idea!! I have never been used Linkedin for my business. I think this is the time thank you for tips.
I had LinkedIn and got rid of it. I may need to get it back. I just never spent time with it and gave my time and energy to all the other social media platforms. I may give it another go.

I have a LinkedIn account but don’t pay much attention to it other than to post my latest blog posts to it. I’m not sure LinkedIn is the right avenue for my blog (animal-related) anyway, but I do get the occasional traffic from LinkedIn. Most everyone loves animals, and sometimes a title will grab their attention. Thanks for your insight, Donna.

Such a helpful post! I have a LinkedIn account, but I need to update it.
I’m on there. I wish I could figure out the settings better though. Every single person on my mail list, whether linkedin or not, seems to get notifications that I don’t send out. I have heard it’s nice to use for business networking though, and I really like that for a potential option.
I think I’ve created an account before but never got around to focus on it. And now I get emails from people that I don’t know asking me to link to their profile? I may check it again one of these days.
