LinkedIn is one of the top social networking sites. have you thought of joining a LinkedIn Group? You should. What, you say, there is no LinkedIn Group in your field? Lucky you. Create one. Posting comments to groups is an excellent way to establish your bona fides, gain clients, and make professional friends.
Here's an example that actually happed to us. We posted a message to a group. A man that we had met over a year before at a networking event read what we wrote, liked it, and got in touch. This led to a meeting over coffee. He had some business problems and we suggested a couple solutions. A few weeks later he became a client. LinkedIn works.
Read and join groups in the area of your expertise and start posting. Here's another example. A man posted several business problems. We got back to him with several ideas in extensive posts. These posts took some time, they were not a two minute quick note. We received E-mails from people who read our posts and said what a nice job we did and spoke highly of our content. That time, we did not get a client, but we did get exposure to people that we may hear from again.
Don't be concerned if you don't make money right away. The exposure is well worth your time. LinkedIn is an excellent tool. We suggest that you use it.
