TECH WHAT IS LINKED IN


LinkedIn is a social network specifically designed for career and business professionals to connect. LinkedIn is ideal for building connections for freelance work, a customer base, potential partners, or simply to keep your job prospects open.


LinkedIn is the world's largest professional networking website. You can use it to build connections in your industry and to stay in touch with colleagues, past and present.

 

To get started, go to linkedin.com in your web browser. Enter your information, choose a password, then click the Join button. LinkedIn will guide you through the steps of adding more detail to your profile. Next, you'll need to verify your email address.

 Signing up for LinkedIn is free, and many functions are open to all account holders, so you can take advantage of most of the opportunities that LinkedIn offers. You can pay a monthly fee for a premium account to get additional functions or communication options.

Four Tips to Network on LinkedIn

  2. Reconnect with contacts you've lost touch with. 
  3. Share your insights and stories by posting. 
  4. Ask your network for help.

What should you not do on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn Etiquette: 10 Things You Must NEVER Do
  • Don't Send Spammy Messages to Your Connections. 
  • Don't Send Irrelevant Messages. 
  • Don't Send Messages With, “I see you viewed my profile.” 
  • Don't Lock Down Your Profile. 
  • Don't Add Connections to Your Email List. 
  • Don't Ask New Connections or People You Don't Know to Endorse You

  • How much does a LinkedIn recruiter account cost?
    LinkedIn Recruiter comes in two versions — Lite, which costs $99.95 per month, and Corporate, which costs $825 per month. LinkedIn Recruiter is feature rich and offers more than a typical small business owner would need, especially when websites like Indeed allow you to post jobs and view resumes for free.
  •  
    How much does a LinkedIn business page cost?
    Business is $59.99 per month, or $575.88 (20% less) annually. Those who opt for the Business membership get 15 InMail messages per month and business insights (including growth and "functional trends"). InMails are messages that are sent directly to other LinkedIn members, even if you're not connected to them.
  • What is a good LinkedIn profile?
     
    Here's what makes it a strong profile summary: Can be skimmed in 30 seconds or less. Professional headline is below 120 characters, lists career focus and components of work. Includes industry-related keywords, core skills, strengths, talents and interests.
  •  Recruiters search for and choose job candidates in LinkedIn in a very similar way. Using LinkedIn Recruiter, they search through LinkedIn Profiles. Then, they often type in the job title of the job they are filling or the job they expect their perfect job candidates to have (which is why your job titles are important).
  •  Advantages of Using LinkedIn
    • Get connected: LinkedIn was built for networking, and it's still a useful networking tool. 
    • Build trust for your brand: LinkedIn is chock full of groups that are devoted to specific professional topics. 
    • Promote your brand as an authority: If you're creating great content pertinent to your industry, share it on LinkedIn.

     

    Cons of LinkedIn
    • Spam Connections. Not each message you receive once on this social platform goes to be helpful. 
    • Investment of Initial Time. Not every business professional is active on LinkedIn. 
    • Posting Rules are Confusing Sometimes. 
    • Privacy Concerns. 
    • The Premium Can be Costly.
