Hold On To These Strategies To Get ROI From Linkedin

LinkedIn today is the most sought after social networking site by professionals. With more than 400 million users, it is the strongest social media platform to stay professionally connected with large masses and expand your business. 

However, much time and energy is required to be invested if you want to reap benefits for the growth of your business through LinkedIn. It is essential to get return on these investments (ROI), else it will all be a fruitless endeavour.

Getting ROI from LinkedIn won’t prove to be a difficult task if you hold on to the following key strategies.

1. Create quality LinkedIn page for your company

    Consider your company page on LinkedIn as a portfolio. It will help the platform members understand your business. This will establish brand name and generate credibility amongst LinkedIn users. These users should be seen as prospective customers and lead generators.
   

2. Make your presence felt

   Mere existence on LinkedIn will leave you and your business in the shadows of the social platform. Have a strong commanding presence. This is an easy feat to achieve if you share updates, events, news regularly, participate in discussions and like updates posted by your connections. However, all the posts should be relevant or related to your field.
   

3. Expand your network

   Developing your network will promote your business extensively. Join appropriate groups, communities, and remember to be interactive in the discussions. Build your network with people who belong to your industry. You can also create a group to grow a like-minded community and build thought leadership. Through this custom group you can also drive more traffic to your website which in turn will help you gain possible clients.
   

4. Attract more followers

    Consider your followers as lead generators and promoters. Having more followers increases your visibility.  Building more followers can prove to be an effective strategy since it will help popularise your brand.
   

5. Fix your goals

   With LinkedIn having 400+ millions users, you don’t want every member as your audience. You need to choose your audience and target it by posting engaging stuff that is specifically written for them.
   

6. Recruit best candidates

   LinkedIn is not only a huge platform for professional network building but also the best place to find talent for your company. Talented employees recruited via LinkedIn can help in the growth of the company. Since LinkedIn charges for job postings, it is necessary that you get the maximum for what you are paying. Besides being lead generators, your followers may also be active or passive job seekers. Create appealing career page and review applications thoroughly. Also, identify and stay in touch with potential talent.
   

7. Explore Pulse

   Pulse is a publishing platform that was opened to public in 2014. While many were initially doubtful about how effective this platform would be, it is now seen as a go-to for content marketing. Publish content for target audience on Pulse and this will help you reach out to large masses and develop reputation. It will also get you more followers generating more leads.
   

8. Impress the young minds-

   With the age limit bar being dropped to 13 on LinkedIn, you will find young, career oriented minds swarming the social media platform. Share posts or update statuses that would interest these teenagers and draw them into discussions. Focus on teens as they can be potential promoters and can help grow the reach of your brand.
   

LinkedIn can prove to be a great tool for sales generation if used to its fullest potential. If done correctly, getting ROI from LinkedIn can turn out to be as easy as going about your daily chores.

Step-By-Step Guide to Becoming A Problem Solver

In a previous post, I discussed the several ways to build credibility in Internet Marketing. The most important point that I emphasized was about blogging. In that article, I explained that "content is king." Instead of concentrating all of your efforts on how to make sales and money, it is better to look beyond the money when you are first starting off in building your Internet Marketing business. I advise my clients to concentrate on learning how to engage your general audience. Do not give your website visitors the impression that your platform is nothing but a website trying to make them spend their hard-earned money.

Instead, transform your website into a training platform or a solution center where people can find a solution to their problem. Only then can you tell them how your product or service can be useful in providing a solution to their problem. Anything outside of this will put you at the mercy of your audience, and there is a very real chance they might not have any respect for what you are trying to do. You would only be regarded as another "snake oil salesman" trying to get money out of their pockets.

Therefore, in this article, I want to discuss how you can sell your products and services as a problem solver in the eyes of your customers:

Advertising is an excellent way to generate a source of income for your website. However, it can turn into something of a nightmare if you are not careful about where you get your ads from.

 Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous advertisers out there who will happily place malicious ads, especially through questionable ad networks and ad exchanges to cover their tracks.

They might be infected without clicking on the bad ads or even seeing them visually on your site.

Knowing HTML and CSS basics, collecting analytical data and developing an outreach strategy are among the top essential skills to develop. But the single most important point is to come up with fresh and valuable insights.

Using Email Marketing as a Profitable Sales Tool

You’ve heard that using your email to sell products or services on the internet is the thing to do but you have no idea where to start.

Using email as a profitable sales tool doesn’t have to be complicated.

You need to connect with your audience no matter what tool you use. Email just allows you another way to do so. Some of the common reasons business owners don’t use email marketing is because they (1) fear it will take up too much time, (2) don’t feel they have enough expertise to write a ‘newsletter’ or (3) feel that marketing through email is ‘spamming’.

Promoting Your Website on Twitter

Twitter is all the rage these days for online business and marketing.

If you don’t know what Twitter is, then let me do my best to explain it to you:

Twitter is a mixture between an instant messenger and a forum that only allows you to type 140 characters at a time. You can log on to your Twitter account at any time and find people chatting amongst themselves, ‘tweeting’ out inspiring messages, ‘retweeting’ cool stuff or linking out to interesting websites.

So great stuff, right? You’ve probably heard that Twitter is a great way to build relationships and your business, and you’re also probably wondering just how to promote your website on it.

Twitter-marketing is all about building relationships. When you give first, you’re setting yourself up for success on this social media site. So with that in mind here are some of my best tips for promoting your website with tweets:

Keyword Placement- How to Use it Correctly

Your SEO efforts may prove futile without the strategy of correct keyword placement. Basically you need to have a good grip on this practice to be successful in your climb up the search engine ladder. After all it’s only through your keyword or keyword phrase that potential customers find your products and services. So you want to make sure you’re placing them in a way that they are most effective.

Arguably keyword placement can be confusing. But once you know the basics, you don’t have to be an SEO expert to figure it out.

How to Pick a Profitable Niche Market

For a new online entrepreneur, picking a niche can be the most intimidating part of the entire business.

Get this one step wrong, and you’ll be setting yourself up for a disaster where you don’t earn money, you don’t enjoy the work, and you waste an incredible amount of time putting effort into something that won’t pay off.

So it’s vital that you understand the correct elements of picking a niche that pairs passion with profits. 

Too often, marketers stick to the money niches even when they don’t like the topic, thinking “Someday, I’ll make enough money to focus on something I really love.”
Why wait?

You can start off on the right foot from the very beginning and focus on something you are passionate about, or at the very least, interested in.

There are 4 steps to picking a profitable niche. It requires some research, but have fun with this! Don’t do it all in one sitting – let your mind take time to savor the possibilities.
