15 Tips To Optimize Your LinkedIn Initiative

September 13, 2011

This is a guest post by Lior Levin.

LinkedIn has enjoyed explosive growth since its debut in 2003. The real question is whether or not you’re making the most of your LinkedIn efforts and networking in general? LinkedIn is so much more than social networking for businesses and business people – it can totally change how you run your business as a whole.

Here’s some of our favorite tips to get the most out of your LinkedIn experience:

Be Professional

Remember, you’re not on Facebook, Google+, or MySpace here – this is a social network for business professionals. Only interact in a professional manner with other users.

If you take a look at your LinkedIn inbox, you’ll noticed that it’s more like an email inbox rather than a social networking message system. Therefore, you should treat it as such when corresponding with others professionals on the site.

Also, the groups on Linkedin are not like your average Facebook group. They’re a place for professionals to connect, network, and share knowledge. The way you carry yourself and interact with other members is extremely important

Are You Addicted to RSS Feeds?

November 10, 2006

I’m a little saddened by the message from this guy, though he looks kind of friendly:

Bloglines Plumber

I suppose the rest of my news reading will have to wait until tomorrow.

Going in Another Direction, and Headlines are What Matter

October 23, 2006

After reading maybe 30 or so blogs (of the 100 or so SEO blogs I have subscribed to in the last month) announcing that Danny Sullivan will be heading up Search Engine Strategies through 2007, I realize I jumped into a pretty saturated “everyone knows everyone else” search engine market. And at the end of the day (I only can blog during the evenings when I am at home due to policy), I realize that if I am to contribute something new to the table, it’s likely that I’ll stumble upon my “unique” voice sooner or later when reading someone else’s opinion.

While I think there’s nothing wrong with the 30 blogs that say pretty much the same thing (or link to each other as is the case in some instances — they’re all posted at approximately the same time, after all), my unique approach, given that I’m pretty new in town, will require something drastically different. As such, I will be bringing Techipedia a little broader for awhile to its intended arena: “Anything Tech.” I took a narrower approach for awhile as I experiment through writing my blog, but I feel as if I’m somewhat of an echo since headlines are the key to a successful thread. Success would mean that my blog needs something different — so I’m not approaching my blog like I do others by skimming the threads in my feed reader and thinking to myself after reading the title, “Hey, I saw a similar topic already; let me skip this one.”

The History of Techipedia … and What You Should Know

September 25, 2006

I write on this new blog with high aspirations. techipedia.com is a domain I’ve had for about a year. When I registered it, it was great to see that it was available on all three primary fronts (.com, .net, and .org). I registered all of them with the intentions of making it a tutorial and knowledge base site. While I never had time to quite develop that functionality, it is very likely going to be part of the site in the future… if the domain doesn’t sell (it’s up for auction with about 2 days remaining).

A lot of people have been asking me why my domains are up for auction at what appears to be a costly price. To be perfectly honest, I asked a few people who gave me ballpark numbers near $10k for the package deal due its to uniqueness. The auction price is much lower than that. I guess that the name itself does indeed have potential. However, there is no interest in the domain name as of the present time because there is nothing on the domain… which probably means that with no content, there’s no reason to be selling a domain.
