What is LinkedIn?

This is a great DEMO that explains WHAT IS LINKEDIN.

Posted from http://press.linkedin.com/about

Latest LinkedIn Facts

* LinkedIn has over 36 million members in over 200 countries and territories around the world.
* A new member joins LinkedIn approximately every second, and about half of our members are outside the U.S.
* Executives from all Fortune 500 companies are LinkedIn members.

Relationships Matter

Your professional network of trusted contacts gives you an advantage in your career, and is one of your most valuable assets. LinkedIn exists to help you make better use of your professional network and help the people you trust in return.
Our mission is to connect the world’s professionals to accelerate their success. We believe that in a global connected economy, your success as a professional and your competitiveness as a company depends upon faster access to insight and resources you can trust.
What is LinkedIn?
LinkedIn is an interconnected network of experienced professionals from around the world, representing 170 industries and 200 countries. You can find, be introduced to, and collaborate with qualified professionals that you need to work with to accomplish your goals.

When you join, you create a profile that summarizes your professional expertise and accomplishments. You can then form enduring connections by inviting trusted contacts to join LinkedIn and connect to you. Your network consists of your connections, your connections’ connections, and the people they know, linking you to a vast number of qualified professionals and experts. Through your network you can:

* Manage the information that’s publicly available about you as professional
* Find and be introduced to potential clients, service providers, and subject experts who come recommended
* Create and collaborate on projects, gather data, share files and solve problems
* Be found for business opportunities and find potential partners
* Gain new insights from discussions with likeminded professionals in private group settings
* Discover inside connections that can help you land jobs and close deals
* Post and distribute job listings to find the best talent for your company

Ron Bates interviewed by Stan Relihan on TPN

Connections #028 - The World’s Number 1 LinkedIn User

April 6th, 2008

Ron Bates is a Headhunter, Executive Search Consultant & Recruiter based in San Francisco, USA. He’s also widely known as LinkedIn’s most-connected user - with around 40,000 direct Connections. However, while Ron’s name is well-known to many people, he himself maintains a fairly low personal profile.

Marc Freedman interviewed by Stan Relihan on TPN

Connections #025 - Rebuilding a Network from Scratch

March 9th, 2008

Marc Freedman is CEO and founder of the DallasBlue Business Network - and a wild Texas entrepreneur who can’t help being a thorn in the side of LinkedIn.com for his diligent evangelism of large networks.

A few years back, Marc was #3 worldwide on LinkedIn, until he was excommunicated for ‘networking too much’ - and forced to rebuild his network again, from scratch.

Despite this, he continues to be a strong LinkedIn supporter - and provides a comprehensive range of free tools and resources for the LinkedIn community, available under the MyLinkFamily brand.

In this interview, Marc discusses the lessons he’s learned from his experiences - and how he’s rebuilt his prominence back to #14, out of nearly 20 million LinkedIn users worldwide.

HelloTxt from Linked Intelligence

The following is an email that I have received from Linked Intelligence and thought that I would share with everyone here with regards to using HeloTxt

Post Updates to LinkedIn and 16 Others in One Place

Posted: 08 Apr 2008 12:42 PM CDT

LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter — all of them seem to want to know what I'm doing at the moment, but I can't even imagine trying to update them all individually.

Enter HelloTxt, a client for all your microblogging platforms. It supports all the sites listed above, plus Pownce, Bebo, Jaiku, hi5, Plaxo, Tumblr and a bunch more I've never even heard of. And it's free!

The user interface is incredibly simple. Your dashboard is a posting form with your default services checked (you can uncheck them if you don't want to post a given message to a particular service). It also shows your recent posting history:

Another screen lets you input your account information for the various services and determine which ones are checked by default when you post:

There's also a timeline screen which serves as a client for some of the services. It doesn't support LinkedIn yet, though, Facebook is "coming soon" and with it being a static HTML page, it's not a very functional Twitter client (I use Twhirl myself).

This is yet another small piece of the "social networking client" we envision in The Emergence of The Relationship Economy. Combine this with FriendFeed, Quotably (but across multiple platforms), a profile aggregator and an Ajax-based personalized home page, and now you're talking about something really compelling. I just want them all in one neatly integrated service.

In the meantime, HelloTxt is a new essential in my toolkit.

There's More to Networking than Achieving Personal Gain

Bad Networking vs. Good Networking By Barbara Moses

Have you met many good networkers lately? Me neither.
These days, networking is recognized as a life-management skill, but only a small percentage of professionals
and managers are at ease with it, and even fewer could be described as skilled. Many are awkward or obnoxious
when attempting to make connections. This discomfort and clumsiness comes partly from not understanding
basic networking mechanics. They ask, "What am I supposed to do? Accost everyone I meet and say: 'Hi. My
name is . . . and I'm a customer-service-driven, team-building marketing professional specializing in the
hospitality sector'?" Others are uncomfortable because they feel that networking means "using" people or being
insincere. At times, they are. "I'm so sick of people who call to network only when they're worried about their
job," says a director of training. "Or who insist they want to discuss something of mutual benefit when I know
there's nothing in it for me and that they only want to get work from me."
What's Your View of Networking?
What does networking mean to you? Do you have a picture of wooden-looking professionals in suits rushing to
pass out business cards and impress higher-ups? In fact, most people who receive cards in this way don't ever
look at them again. Admittedly, meeting and delivering a personal spiel to top decision-makers is one aspect of
networking, but most good networkers do this infrequently. Indeed, they're status-blind and network
comfortably at all levels. Another typical networking scenario is meeting as many people as possible and asking
them for information about their field, the names of others or for additional assistance. But notice how this
activity is a one-way street. Most great networkers I know spend far more time helping others than seeking
personal benefit. As one consultant and extraordinary networker once told me, "I've been very blessed in my
work. So it's up to me to give freely and as much as I can."
Bad Networking
People who receive frequent networking requests agree on typical no-nos and irritants. Do you see yourself in
any of the following networking types?
1) The socially tone deaf: After meeting you at a party, this person sticks to you like glue for the entire
evening, picking your brain about your business and contacts or endlessly describing his or her services and how
they can benefit you. These incessant networkers can't imagine meeting anyone, anywhere, without pitching
them.
2) The ingrate: This person takes hours of your time and never sends a thank-you note. Later, you hear that one
of your suggestions helped him or her land a job.
3) The infomercial actor: This may be the most egregious networking type. After calling to ask for help, they
provide a blow-by-blow description of their accomplishments over the past 30 years. Just when you think a
lobotomy would be preferable to listening any longer, you're asked a question. But as you start to respond, they
interrupt with, "and one more thing I did that was hugely successful…."
4) The robot: This unimaginative type has rehearsed for hours, knows the drill and sticks to the script ("I'm a
proven leader in…."). They ask exactly 25 questions and ask for exactly 10 names of possible leads.
continues on page 2 ��
2
5) The social climber: They confuse a contact's level with his or her capacity to be helpful, so they want to
meet only senior people. However, unless such job hunters are seeking high-level work, CEOs and other top
executives are typically too far removed from the hiring process to be helpful. It's unlikely they would make a
direct recommendation to hire the networker. At most, some doors might open, but that might cause resentment
among managers forced to meet with the networker. In short, the whole strategy is likely to backfire.
6) The card collector: At a recent networking party I hosted for female colleagues, friends, and clients,
everyone told stories and laughed except for an executive recruiter who was too busy handing out and collecting
cards to enjoy herself. While leaving, she commented, "This was fabulous. Look how many cards I have." We
thought she missed the point. Needless to say, few of the party-goers returned her follow-up call.
7) The fair-weather friend: These people call only when they need something from you. Otherwise you might
as well be dead.
Good Networking
Good networkers are "wired" into a broad matrix that extends their connections beyond their immediate
professional boundaries. They cultivate relationships with people who know how to get things done. Like good
mentors, they are genuinely curious about people and what they think. They also enjoy bringing together
interesting people and ideas, and they are as proud of making things happen for others as they are of how many
people are listed in their personal organizers.
Skilled networkers don't view staying connected with others as networking. Instead, they see their interactions
as exchanging information: They learn something from and pass on something to the other person. The best
networkers rarely expect a personal payoff. Many, in fact, are only "paying forward" to someone else in need
instead of paying back the person who originally helped. In short, they've benefited from their contacts' kindness
and help, so they seek opportunities to be generous to others and hope they'll do the same.
In good networking, there's always a mutual connection. Done well, networking is like graceful dancing. Both
parties are stimulated by the interaction. No one feels used. At its best, the interaction produces a deeply
satisfying emotional and intellectual connection. Done poorly, it's exceptionally off-putting.
Networking is as much a cognitive skill as an interpersonal one. Adept networkers are huge information
synthesizers who can see connections that aren't obvious between people, things and ideas. From the initial
presenting issue, they can identify a higher idea the other person might not have seen and make creative
referrals. In other words, they're idea generators.
Don't wait to network until you attend your next so-called networking event. Instead, seek opportunities
everywhere and think about them altruistically. To borrow a phrase, "ask not what your network can do for you,
but what you can do for it."

Why Is LinkedIn Answers So Useful? - by Zale Tabakman

A great question was asked about LinkedIn Answers. The writer wanted to know “Is There Anything Greater Than LinkedIn Answers?”

At the 10,000 foot level LinkedIn Answers provides leverage for several things

Great content
Provides alternative thinking to stimulate new ideas
Meet and connect with other LinkedIn Members

But while this obvious its clear that LinkedIn Answers is a very complex beast.

I have separated into its component parts to provide a fuller answer.

Asking a question,
Answering a question.
Reading questions,
Reading the answers to questions,
Having the best answer, and
Becoming a topic expert.

While this may seem like a trite exercise, breaking down into its components lets me measure each part, understand the advantages and disadvantages, understand what the value of each part, see how they fit into my larger goals, and then create a plan to use LinkedIn Answers to meet those goals.

Asking a LinkedIn Answers question

Asking interesting and relevant questions allows your contacts to shine.
I send the question to contacts whom I think would be able to contribute so they are aware of it.
Asking a good question lets people know what is important to you.
Be Careful!! - you can look real silly. One of my first questions was not worded very well, and I accomplished two things 1) I looked like an idiot and 2) I looked like I was fishing for clients.
The background to the question allows the you to share some information about yourself.
The content makes for content elsewhere. I edit and provide full attribution of answers to my questions on my site.
My readers get the best answers in an more readable format. Click here to find them all
Asking the question forces me to think about what people would be interested in reading and what would be helpful to them.
Never ask questions that can be answered with a simple Google search or a read of FAQ sections will find the answer.
Some questions are great to get to the heart of a matter.
One answer gives a little information - the same content expressed in many different answers ensure you get the message.

Answering a LinkedIn Answers question

You get to help people and contribute to the world.
Everybody interested in the topic will read your answer, so its a chance to show who you are, what you think, and what you consider as important.
I [now] only place answers that contain content from my site. If my answer is interesting and relevant for LinkedIn readers, then its also interesting and relevant for my readers. [What you are reading is an answer to a question and a post] The only challenge here is size and formatting. My articles are sometimes too long for LinkedIn Answers or when the formatting is lost some of the impact is lost.

Reading the LinkedIn Answers questions

I have found out what is important and relevant to people.
I have found what people think is important
Just using the number of responses as a guide will tell you what people find exciting

Reading answers to LinkedIn Answers questions

I have found amazing stories that are truly inspiring
I have found solutions to technical problems
Using the number of responses as a guide tells you what people find exciting

Having the best answer to a LinkedIn Answer question

That is a feeling of accomplishment (except when you are the only answer)

Becoming a LinkedIn Answers topic expert

I have never been an “Expert” in LinkedIn Answers so I can’t tell you what happens. However, I have read some comments from others. They all seem to be very blase about it.

You can find the full question and answer here .

4 Ways To Generate 100 LinkedIn Invitations A Week - By Zale Tabakman

I have long ago run out of invitations on the LinkedIn Social Network. I used up my 3,000 rather quickly (and very stupidly). This is not unusual and others have had the same situation.

If you have run out of invitations like I have, you have probably done why I did, which was to keep asking LinkedIn for more invitations. And, just like a slot machine, randomly every so often I do get some more. But its few and far between and never enough.

So - I needed to develop a different strategy to grow my LinkedIn Database.

I am now successful - in that I get over a 100 invitations a week which will generate me about 5,000 new connections a year. Which is about all I can handle, since I make it a point to

look a little bit at each profile,
read each invitation and
respond to each invitation.

This takes time - so 100 a week takes me a couple of hours. If it grows faster in the future then I will have to take longer to accept - but I will accept.

For the couple of months or so as I responded to an invitation - I ask how people found me and asked where and how people grow their network and I also promised an article on this topic.

I am now delivering on my promise.

Not everybody responded and not all the responses were clear by what they meant.

So please consider the count as relative and the whole sequence as qualitative rather than a quantitative study. But the results were clear enough that I know where my LinkedIn network growth comes from.

There is also a trend in the kinds of people who connect with me. They have smaller networks - many people with less than 500 connections, and many many with less than 100 connections.

Asking questions when people invite me has generated a whole number of interesting conversations and many many thank you.

Most people are growing their networks through searches in LinkedIn. They are finding people they want to be connected to based on their profiles. There are targeting specific regions and specific industries.

Here are the results of my queries:

Being a LION - LinkedIn Open Networker was by far the top item with over 52 responses. Being a LION means that you have the word "LION" in your profile. Many of my LinkedIn buddies told me they found me through searches. The other part of being a LION is being listed at www.themetanetwork.com.
www.MyLink500.com - This is a site run by Marc Freedman of the Dallas Blue Business network. This provided about 35 links.
My Profile - This generated about 30 connections. I think some of them were people being nice and some were also people who were searching for e-mails in the profile. Nether the less - a good profile is important for attracting people who want to join up with you.
LinkedIn Answers - I regularly ask questions and sometimes answer questions in LinkedIn Answers. This has generated 24 invitations.

There are a number of other places that people found me. But their numbers were not even close. This includes my website and Brent Goodman’s LinkedIn Builder page.

I also now connected up with people through groups. You can learn all about how I work with LinkedIn Groups here.

5 Ways To Use LinkedIn Networking Groups Effectively - By Zale Tabakman

LinkedIn Networking Groups are a great thing - but not everybody knows all the ways they can be used effectively. I have been using them for several months now, so I thought I would share some of my expertise.

First of all, you need to understand that a LinkedIn Networking Group can be a business networking group, it can be a business executive networking group, it can be a marketing networking group, or any other kind of networking marketing group.

The purpose is to be a group of people who network together as a group that have something in common. While a few people do join a LinkedIn Group just to grow their network, many don’t like to receive the e-mails they get and will soon leave any group that doesn’t fit their needs.

I am a great believer in a large LinkedIn network, in fact my network is over 8,600,000 people, and LinkedIn Groups has significantly contributed to this.

Here are Five Ways to make LinkedIn Groups effective for you and there will be at least one LinkedIn Group you should join! I am particularly excited about the growth in the various Success Groups.

(Click on any of the LinkedIn Group links to instantly apply to join)

1. Create a LinkedIn Group to connect people with your hobby.

One of the problems of a large network is finding people in that network who have the same interests as you. The LinkedIn Search function is helpful, but a hobby may not always be on their profile. My favorite hobby is Marathon Running - and we runners travel to different cities - so connecting up lets a runner in one city have a local contact in another city to ask a question or two about a local marathon.

Networking Marathoners Group - http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/25009/14D41334DC61
Daf Yomi Group - http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/35623/6FEE83712F00
If you don’t know what Daf Yomi is this isn’t for you.

2. Create A LinkedIn Group To Tell People Stuff

I post questions on LinkedIn Answers for ideas about how people can become successful. I’ve received many answers and many compliments about the questions. So I created a group to tell people about the questions so that you have the opportunity to answer. LinkedIn Answers is a terrific way for you to share your expertise and promote your self. See my article on Promoting Yourself on LinkedIn here.

Zale’s’ Success Stories http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/44441/6D2CAC1C623 D

3. Create A LinkedIn Group To Connect People Who Are Local

Connecting people who want to find out about local events and who are on LinkedIn is helpful and an easy way to connect to people.

Networking Toronto - http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/35620/03F4D0353C9F

4. Create A LinkedIn Group About Something You Are Passionate About

I am passionate about helping people become successful. I teach and write about success all the time. It comes with my passion about finding common ground with people.

Interfaith Networking http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/38130/2FCBA910D813

I have created a number of Success Groups.

Success Through Balance is my view on how to have a successful life. http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/42538/48FA8850E586
Networking For Success connects people who want to connect with others about Success http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/43111/6519C4612FF3
Napoleon Hill Readers connects people excited by Napoleon Hill’s view of Success - http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/52319/2F252D178FA3
Glazer-Kennedy Inner Circle Readers connects people excited by Glazer-Kennedy Marketing - http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/52377/3A105A4C60AA

5. Create a LinkedIn Group Related To A Professional Association

CATA - 28,000 Canadians in High Tech, Biotech, CleanTech, and Manufacturing. (Canadian Advance Technology Alliance) - http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/37239/355A6C0EA4EF

Here are 5 ways to effectively manage your LinkedIn Groups!

Use LinkedIn Groups to decide who to send invitations to.
I am always out of LinkedIn invitations, but I still want to continue to grow my network. When I do get more LinkedIn invitations, I send them to members of my LinkedIn Groups. I rarely get any “I don’t Know”s anymore, and the ones I get, I assume are from people who hit the button by accident.
Upload your LinkedIn network to each of your LinkedIn Groups.
So when your connections join up - they are already members, rather than having to ask for approval. This is useful unless the group is very restricted.
Create a website for the LinkedIn Group.
Keep the e-mails down to a minimum for the LinkedIn Group members.
Use your picture as the Logo for at least one LinkedIn Group.

Join one of my LinkedIn Groups and grow your network.

7 Ways To Generate Business With LinkedIn - by Zale Tabakman

Everybody spending anytime online knows about Social Networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn. Many have heard about LinkedIn or have even created a terrific LinkedIn network, but most don’t know how to effectively use LinkedIn to grow in their business lives.

Many people send and receive invitations from LinkedIn and create great networks, but few people know how to effectively use the Social Networks they have created.

There is a lot of focus at LinkedIn and other places on the Web describing the features of LinkedIn. And even with LinkedIn’s intuitive user interface using the site is simple. But, rarely does anybody address the next and more important level. Turning a LinkedIn network into a sales pipeline or using it for aspects of business other than sales or job hunting.

You have a unique business and unique personality, so your use of LinkedIn will be different, however, there are many common tasks people do to build their business. I have selected seven to teach you today. Using these seven as a basis, you will be immediately growing your business with LinkedIn.

When you are finished this lecture, you will have an integrated view of all the features of LinkedIn and how you will be able to generate business.

To get the most out of this lecture I recommend that you follow it in sequence and come back to the different parts later for review.
