This post is about Linkedin Premium

Linkedin, in case you don't know much about it, is known as the White Collar Business Network

Founded before Facebook, by a good two years, it had its own IPO, fully 18 months before Facebook and was way more successful than Facebook

It has over 500,000 active daily users on the platform, and these cover professionals and CEOs from virtually every industry you can imagine. It is probably the only business network where you can actually engage with and interact directly with the CEO of any large organisation and specifically from withn your niche

It is a place where people expect to be sold too, indeed from personal experience I have built

an MLM Organisation through it

Sold countless direct marketing and digital sales products through the platform, for serious commissions and have an active network of just under 6,000 Networkers

For the majority of my time on the platform I have been a free member, because, through the use I had on it, that was adequate for me

In recent weeks, I have been using the platform more on a daily basis, having tweaked a strategy, I leaned about, through a marketing book I have been reading, which makes total total sense in what it advocates

So based on that and, by a stange co incidence ,I was offered a chance to reactivate ( for free!! and I love Free ) myy Premium Account

I had it before but due to my use, I didn't fully appreciate it.

But this time round, it seems to be a lot better and thanks to the fact that I have a fully optimised profile, found I have been figuring in a lot moree searches and get access to a lot more people.

Premium is $39.99 for a month, once your trial period has ended, so I shall be guided by my stats and see how it pans out, but so far, I am liking it

Now Two Great Features of Linkedin, are this

Company Page and Linkedin Publisher. Both of these you can have as a free member

But with Linkedin Publisher, you have the chance to write a post of 125,000 characters

When you publish this, it gets sent direct to your immediate network, so in my case, just under 6,000 active users. But as a premium member, it gets sent to all other active users, who are not in your direct network, but who are in your direct networks, network if that makes sense

To make it simpler, it goes Multi Level!!

You can publish and writ about what ever you want, but a strong suggestion would be to write about something, business like, or similar quality content, because obviously the language spoken on Linkedin Is different to that used on Facebook.

So if you are looking for Network expansion, then Linkedin Premium is a way to go and using the publisher, certainly gets both your company page and you noticed

Its quite nice to have this powerful attraction.

Another top tip for boosting your exposure is by reacting to birthday and work anniversary notifications and invite to connect requests

Doing these birthday requests and anniversary requests, does by default get your profile looked at. Equally by accepting invite to connect requests, then you have a chance to start a conversation with 'Your New Connection'
