This should go without saying, but proofreading is really important on LinkedIn. I continue to see egregious spelling & grammar mistakes there. Misspellings on Facebook & Twitter (from personal profiles, mind you) are more acceptable, since they mirror aspects of the texting world. But do this on LinkedIn, you're automatically out of the conversation. Wrote a blog about a while back, I'll dig it up & post to BizSugar.

In the meantime, here's the link. http://www.stingraysocial.com/1/post/2012/05/spelling-on-linkedin-surprising-numbers.html

I must admit that I don't use LinkedIn to the extent it should be used but I can see the value in it. What I like is being able to give a full professional profile which can obviously attract anyone looking for your services. Thanks for sharing on Bizsugar.com

Tom,

LinkedIn has changed a bit over the years but remains a great way for businesses to attract clients and find opportunities. It's a great idea to concentrate not just on your profile and update stream, but also on the many groups LinkedIn has to offer. Join groups both in your industry and in the niches or industries you serve. Use posts in these groups to share helpful information, establish your expertise, and attract people back to your profile to find out more about who you are and what you do.
