If you want to be found, you’ve got to be findable
I don’t honestly remember where I first read that - if I did, I’d give the person credit - but it’s certainly not an original idea of mine.
One of the best ways to accomplish that is LinkedIn.
Like anything that’s got a lotta buzz, is there also a lotta hype associated with it? You bet. And are there some people who should be thankful for LinkedIn because otherwise they’d still be selling Amway? Yep. But, overall, it is a tremendous resource, and one you need to take full advantage of.
If you don’t know about it, learn. If you don’t have a profile, create one.
A great place to start would be this excellent post today at Linkedintelligence from one of the LinkedIn kings (and definitely not one of those Amway guys), Scott Allen. In fact, even if you’re a LinkedIn expert, still go check it out (of course, if you’re an expert, you probably already have).
