How to build your LinkedIn presence into a powerful branding and marketing tool. That was the subject of the latest presentation to the Kingston North Kitsap Rotary Club at its meeting, Wed, Oct 13. Thanks to a link from Club Member Clint Boxman, Ross Ruthman and Bruce Johnson “zoomed in” to describe LinkedIn’s value and flexibility in developing business relationships. Ross called LinkedIn the Facebook of today. Bruce explained there are currently 766m LinkedIn users, 171m of whom are in the U.S. 41% of millionaires use LinkedIn. 44% of users have annual incomes in excess of $75k.
LinkedIn is much more than a base of contacts. It is a powerful platform for building a professional presence, establishing a brand, and reaching out to specific audiences in a very granular way. And it is not just personal. Companies and organizations, such as Rotary Clubs, can use the technology to their benefit.
The presentation offered specifics of how to build a presence, how to target audiences, and how to keep that presence fresh and up to date.
