Entrepreneur Tip- Look at LinkedIn Again.

TIP: FIND A GROUP OR TWO ON LINKED IN AND START INTERACTING

LinkedIn recently got a lot of press with it's IPO. Leading up to the IPO were some recent changes that made the site a lot more user friendly and productive. 

Linkedin recently changed the option to their groups to be viewed public vs. private, which allows for conversations to happen between unknown members.

Therefore, posting your blog, press release, and content to the groups is a great way to get traffic and interaction. We have gotten noted traffic and response from the CraigGFrancis.com blog, which is niche-specific to SBA Lending.

TWITTER TIP: Connect your LinkedIn account to your Twitter account. You can also opt to only post those tweets that have the #in hashtag (for LinkedIn). To do this go to Account Settings and under Profile Settings click “Manage your Twitter settings,” then check the appropriate box.

My challenge with LinkedIn in the past was that it was too business oriented. I felt like there were a lot of resumes being created and we all had a difficult time getting into a conversation with anyone new. Without paying for a subscription you were limited in what you could do. That has changed now.

ADVANCED TIP: Start a group and/or add a paid subscription to linkedin. Starts at $19.95 a month.

Entertainment Tip - Update your Bio / Picture and make it available and searchable online.

TIP: Update your biography, picture and/or video for press and appearances and make sure that it’s easily searchable. “YOUR NAME BIO” “YOUR NAME RESUME”

Make sure that you have a well-written Bio, picture and ideally a video available online via your website, blog, bio, profile etc.

In prepping a lot of interviews and appearances, we often reference and look for material online. We are amazed at how little or how poorly written some of the bios and references are. It’s not unusual to find that someone we are researching hasn’t updated his/her bio for months or even longer. If you are performing, you MUST keep your information current. And for goodness sake, make sure you spell everything correctly, especially names. Would you want someone to misspell your name on their bio? (Alright, maybe if your name is Weiner...)

ADVANCED TIP: Create a downloadable EPK (Electronic Press Kit) that’s made available via a downloadble link, jugglemail or FTP.

KMG HELP: Stephen Prendergast, our writer/editor, is available to help you create or improve your bio piece. Contact us at KMG for more information.

E-Marketing Tip- Try Groupme and focus your social media activity a bit.

TIP: Join Groupme and start a group. You can check your gmail contacts and/or create a group manually.

GroupMe is a project that allows users to create groups to be created via text and then you have the ability to interact with that group on an ongoing or short basis.

This allows you to create text groups based on work groups, events, teams, a night out, etc.

GroupMe groups are limited to 25 for now. They suggest a group of 4-10 as managable.

As Social Media gets bigger our need for smaller groups becomes more and more apparent. Projects like GroupMe are addressing this issue by creating smaller groups via texting.

We're going to see more productivity from groups like this. Try it and you’ll see what I mean.
