Should Small Business Owners Be on LinkedIn?

Yes. LinkedIn is a free networking web site for business people that is growing by 6 new members per second.  Would you want to miss out on a potential lead source that only requires minimal time to manage once your profile is set up?

There are account upgrades available for varying types of users (recruiter, job seeker, sales & business) for varying monthly subscription fees. However, I think that one can accomplish a lot without having to pay.  Here are some of the main things to remember when embarking on a new social media journey on LinkedIn:

-  Complete your profile. All sections should be filled in as completely as possible.
-  Have a professional photo.
-  Join a few groups.
-  Expand your network.

Upcoming blog posts will delve into more details on each of these segments so do check back or sign up for the RSS feed.
