Leveraging this group and LinkedIn, an open discussion and resources for 2012
I have been thinking a lot lately about how I have been using LinkedIn and am I getting the best use of my time. After thinking about it, I outlined specific tasks I needed to accomplish when I am on LinkedIn as a way to keep me "on task" as I often can get off task, this ever happen to you?
It is really important to me that I focus on the things within LinkedIn that are going to help me professionally and not just spend countless hours with no accomplishments. I imagine this is important to you as well.
So here is a question I have for everyone "What are you doing to leverage this group and LinkedIn?"
I believe everyone taking the time to answer this question in the group will really benefit us all and we will can all learn something.
One thing I think is important to this group is "jobs", so I took a moment earlier to record a short instructional on how to be alerted when jobs become available using LinkedIn. You can watch this short tip here http://bit.ly/linkedinjobsearchtip
In the spirit of tips here are some additional resources for leveraging this group and LinkedIn you may find useful base on your goals.
BOOK: LinkedIn How To-Complimentary Copy, This is a good book to help you build a good foundational strategy when utilizing LinkedIn so you can get the best use of your time on LinkedIn.

GUIDE: Social Media- Basic 101 Guide for Starters This is a good basic guide with some commonly overlooked task.

VIDEO: The importance of posting jobs on LinkedIn and how you can find your ideal candidate http://bit.ly/vDQBEH
Let me know what resources you found most useful and what you may want to see in the future.
So I again would like to ask the question I asked earlier:
"What are you doing to leverage this group and LinkedIn for 2012?"
Please take a moment to share.
Thank you!

Michael D. • wonderful resources Marie! I just joined the group, so I hope to use and leverage the expertise of those in it, and I hope I can give back and provide significant value and resources to those that might need them. Feel free to connect with me as well!!

Andrew S. • With the incredible rate at which technology is progressing, and more importantly, with the way individuals and businesses are leveraging this technology in their marketing and social media efforts, LinkedIn groups like this one will be essential for keeping current and for learning from others. That is, of course, predicated upon a desire to share knowledge and ideas for the betterment of others around you. I know it as "the Giver's gain" approach, to me this is the best way to network, do business, and live life. So let's all share, contribute, and post on discussion groups like these in 2012 and create a powerful, collective wealth of knowledge that's hard to find anywhere else! Happy holidays all!
