I’ve learned from my mistakes. Now you can have the same information that I learned the hard way, You benefit by avoiding them in the first place. Let me give you an example. I took an hour one day to work on my profile. I planned what I wanted to say and then jumped online and started typing away. I was so proud of it that I couldn’t wait to publish it live. I even sent a couple of people an email notifying them that I had a new profile. Within 15 minutes I got an email from a friend, J Snypp, saying that he thought the profile was very good but that I might want to check the spelling. Now I use a word editor and spell check everything.
I’ve also learned over time how to use LinkedIn to grow my business and help my connections. In “11 Ways to Use LinkedIn” I discuss how I used LinkedIn to introduce D’Lesa Medlin, who does payroll, to Dixie McCurley, who is a CPA. D’lesa’s office was in the same building as Dixie’s and she had been trying to network into the CPA firm for two years. Using LinkedIn I was able to connect the two and now D’Lesa has a new referral partner that is sending her continuous business.
