Linkedin is overlooked by a lot of bloggers and this platform can be a great way to gain traffic to any website.

• Add a great summary to your profile, as that is the number one thing your profile visitors will look at, so make sure your first paragraph is compelling.

• Make sure your profile “Headline” clearly states your skill(s) in a professional way.

• Complete all fields in your profile. Let your profile visitors learn WHO you are.

• Again, make sure you use your own image on your profile as no one wants to follow a faceless account.

• Share informative content on your LinkedIn “home” page, and not just links.

• Use images in your posts that gain the attention of those whose newsfeeds see your posts.

• Write articles on the LinkedIn platform, offering unique, quality information. When other members like and gain from what you share with them, they could follow you.

• Create a contest where someone has to follow you on LinkedIn in order to enter the contest. Make sure the prize is relevant to your business.

• Join LinkedIn groups and be active as this could gain you followers.

• Promote your LinkedIn profile on your Twitter account asking for followers.

• Create your own LinkedIn group.

• Ask to join influencers in your niche.

• Make sure your website displays your LinkedIn account link.

As I stated earlier, this is by no means a complete list of ways to gain social media followers, but it is a great way to get you started. There are loads of “pay for” services available to help you gain even more followers for whatever social media account you are looking to gain more on. You only need to search the internet to find them.

Hope this helps you gain lots of new social media followers.
