LinkedIn Part 3: Establishing Credibility

January 15, 2009 By Sean Nelson Leave a Comment

In the third installment we discuss building credibility.

LinkedIn is a great opportunity to present yourself.  You can list a summary, details of past work history, your current employment, and other pieces of information.  All of this can present a picture of you but by itself doesn’t convey credibility.

LinkedIn has built in features that help you establish credibility.  All you need to do is a little extra work and credibility is yours to be gained.  Let’s take a look at your credibility opportunities:

1.  A complete profile:  It sounds simple but many people miss the point.  Your goal on LinkedIn is to be found and once found to be seen as relevant.  The more information you present, the more likely you are to be found.           [Read more...]

LinkedIn Part 1: Can LinkedIn Work For You?

November 29, 2008 By Sean Nelson 3 Comments

If I had a penny for every time someone told me “I’m on LinkedIn but I don’t really know how to use it to use it”, I would be a rich man. There are literally millions of people with many more millions of connections yet few people have actually been able to use it to generate an economic gain.

So for the record, being a member of LinkedIn can make you money! That’s an easy statement to make. I can even point to client’s that I have that are the result of being on LinkedIn. What’s not so easy is to document a clear way that anyone or everyone can use LinkedIn to make money.

You have to first understand that LinkedIn is nothing more than a tool, much like a chamber of commerce is simply a tool to help you network. For some people membership in a chamber is economically beneficial. For other it’s a waste of time and money.

It’s how you use the tool that determines the winners and losers.           [Read more...]

Live on Atlanta Business Radio

October 26, 2008 By Sean Nelson Leave a Comment

During September I did a live interview with Lee Kantor and Amy Otto at Atlanta Business Radio. This is the second show that I’ve done and it also featured Teo Gracca with Net Teams. You can listen to the show by going to the following link: http://atlantabusinessradio.libsyn.com/index.php?post_year=2008&post_month=09 (scroll and you’ll see Teo’s mug shot)

I was told that it was a good show but once I do a show I never listen to it. First I know what I said; and second if I sounded like an idiot I really don’t want to know. Hopefully those who listen find some value.

Amy and Lee have a great show and feature some great business people in the Atlanta are. Check them out and who knows maybe they’ll have you on soon.
