Introduction
-------------------
LinkedIn is one of the most popular platforms for professional networking. In fact, Hubspot found that LinkedIn is 277% more effective at generating leads than Facebook and Twitter. Linkedin networking is one of the most effective ways for influencing, forming professional connections and finding a job. So let's get started with how you can use LinkedIn to your advantage.
Create A LinkedIn Profile
---------------------------------------
A LinkedIn profile is like a personal brand and you want it to look good. So make sure you give a good amount of time and effort while creating your LinkedIn profile. Set a good profile picture, write a great about me section, and update your qualifications.
Connect With Your Contacts
------------------------------------------
After creating your LinkedIn profile you can start making connections with your existing contacts. This is the first step towards LinkedIn networking.
Engage With People
-----------------------------
Connect with people who are working in companies you admire and would like to work there sometime. Engage with their posts and don't shy away from striking a conversation. You can also reach out to recruiters on LinkedIn and share your profile with them for any future openings. This will help you grow your LinkedIn network.
Become A Thought Leader On LinkedIn
-----------------------------------------------------------
LinkedIn is a great platform to grow your personal brand. Apart from just networking with others, you should also focus on creating content to become a thought leader on LinkedIn. You can write an article, or a compelling post about something you care about, conduct polls, and join groups that interest you. Spend at least half an hour on the platform every day and strategize your personal branding style.
Ask For Help
--------------------
At the end of the day, LinkedIn is a community for people to grow in their careers. So when in need do not shy away from asking for help from your LinkedIn network. Let it be for opportunities, recommendations, or referrals. Ask for the support you need and also give back when you can.
