Never underestimate the powers of LinkedIn
Just a quick little post tonight as I want to get some well needed sleep lol
Tonight I logged into my LinkedIn account to share a few more WA posts, and I just happen to notice that the last one I posted received 58 views!! I only shared it a day or two ago. That might not seem like a lot, but when you consider that Facebook might only produce 20 views at max (I have 840 friends), Google + - I don't know how to measure that one since anyone can look at your site and I have 110 friends, and LinkedIn - 58 views in 2 days with only 300 friends! That's 20% of my friends have viewed my posts!!
The beauty about LinkedIn is that it's all business geared. Everyone that is on there, goes on to market or network business. That's why I've been sharing the business geared sites on there.
So the moral of this foggy, sleepy post is: don't undervalue this business savvy social media site while putting all your effort into the other ones. Think of the audience that is connected and that you are networked with on these sites. Where will your best potential customers be found?
Anyways, I could keep rambling on this topic, but you all get the point! lol :P
Good night all.

Thanks for the tip. I have a LinkedIn account but I'm still trying to comprehend that whole stratosphere. I have it on my list to conquer after Pinterest, but I'm thinking I might need to bump it up.
Oh I always forget about pinterest lol
Here, follow Tony's training :) LinkedIn Basic Training 101
Me and most of my family (kids, grandkids, siblings and cousins) are on Linkedin.
I joined in 2005 and saw a rush to join by my family and friends. I use it to source certain foods, not available in our local suppliers, and also to keep abreast of the world culinary community.
Nice! I think I'm going to start networking to groups and people in my niche on it to really grow my network and traffic!
One idea I used was to look for groups within a specific area of my niche, and started there with my networking.
I have an account but I have been doing so much on here already I just haven't gotten that far yet but thanks for giving the heads-up :) is there a tutorial on it somewhere maybe how to add information to the account? Thanks

I feel like I am so behind the times when it comes to social media, even though I have accounts with all of them. Boy I really have a lot of work ahead. Good night dear lady sleep well. Mike
lol Mike! Yes there are lots of sites to be utilized. I don't know much about Twitter, even though I have an account, I don't use it much. But all of this is a learning experience!

Hi Nicki,
I logged into my LinkedIn account to find the WA blog posts you referred to above. I wasn't really sure where to look for them, though. In the meantime, I invited you to be a Contact while i was there. So, anyway... He DO you share a WA blog post on LinkedIn? I never thought about trying it, but it sounds like a great idea!
I'm not sharing WA posts on there. I was sharing WA members sites on it. You can share links to any site on it and post a headline above.
I think you may have added the wrong person because I didn't get an invite from anyone today lol
