LinkedIn is one of the most valuable business tools you will find on the Internet. And there is a workshop planned at Social Media FTW to help you get the most of it.

I have seen Carole Mahoney, president & CEO of Mahoney Internet Marketing, talk about LinkedIn and am looking forward to hearing more. She’s smart and has a lot of useful things to say. I don’t know Rick Roberge, a networking guru and sales coach, but am looking forward to what he has to share also.
I’m not new to LinkedIn. This is why I’m such a fan:
- It’s my address book on steroids: It’s a great way to keep my contacts up to date. It also has a ton of information on everyone and what they do.
- The Groups are good communities: These are good places to make new connections, learn about a subject and promote my content. If share a link to relevant, useful content in a group based upon a narrow niche, I get good traffic from it.
- Answers rock: It’s a great Q&A forum that lets me research what I want to know and share what I do know.
I’m looking forward to learning how to take LinkedIn to the next level.
