LindedIn Evaluation for Bloggers




LinkedIn is a social networking site which focuses on providing a place for building professional networks.  This site is an excellent avenue for self-promotion, which can include anything from skills and abilities, to ideas or organizations.  LinkedIn is a great way to promote a blog in the same manner as individuals or organizations would promote themselves; through connecting with others with similar interests. 

Connecting can take place with both individuals and groups, with both mechanisms offering blog owner’s a great way to reach a lot of people in a relatively short amount of time.  It is wise to think about those individuals and groups which would best aid in spreading a blog to the widest possible audience.  Reading individual profiles and looking at posts is one way to scope out a potential connection to determine a good fit.  When selecting potential groups, it is wise to join a few groups to get a feel for the overall group interactions, to better determine how to introduce your blog.

The most important advice for getting the most out of all LinkedIn has to offer is by supplying as much information as possible in your profile.  The more information provided, the more potential connections you may attract, which goes a long way in helping to increase the readership of a blog.
