Networking with LinkedIn Q&A: A Member Tip
Many writers and editors have found that LinkedIn is an excellent place for networking. It’s a little more business-oriented than FaceBook, and has several distinctive features. NAIWE member Jim Sutton has posted an excellent article describing exactly how the Q&A section of LinkedIn can lead you to others in your field and help you make the connections you need in order to help your business grow.
Social networking is just one way to build your business or your reputation as a writer or other expert, but it’s growing in importance. NAIWE recommends that you begin by creating your own website and blog, as Jim Sutton has done at his member site (http://jimsutton.naiwe.com), then driving traffic to the site through the strategic use of the social networks most useful for business– LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter.
We’ll talk more about why and how to create a social network strategy in future posts, e-zines, and member teleseminars. Enjoy!
