Episode 90. Are you up for the LInkedIn Challenge?

News 

 

• 3 charts that prove that LinkedIn is on fire! This article’s most interesting fact is the comparable rate of member/user growth amongst the three main social networks. 
• Woman creates fake LinkedIn profile to give credibility to her Disney scam. This is a timely warning that we should all check that the listed employees associated to our company pages are legitimate. 

 

Commentary 

 

• I have gathered more feedback about the new LinkedIn app from Android users and it seems to be universally disliked!  Whilst I can’t make a judgment myself yet, it does seem shocking that LinkedIn are still unable to produce an effective mobile app!
• This week I enjoyed chatting with Sarah Santacroce about her LinkedIn challenge, which starts on 1 December.
• Thanks also to Kate Lister for her voicemail stating her reasons for connecting with someone. Kate is a florist in Grimsby who wins business from her LinkedIn activities, I interviewed Kate in episode seven of my Winbusinessin podcast. 

Question

“I have two businesses that are both applicable to LinkedIn so should I have two separate profiles or try to cover both within the same profile?”
