LinkedIn is one of the most powerful social networking and digital platforms to build your personal and business brand of authority, influence and human connection.

If you think LinkedIn is just for finding a job, you are missing out on opportunities to ignite brand awareness, build community, earn trust with your target audience, and grow your business.

LinkedIn has more than 700 million members in more than 300 countries and regions worldwide. There are also more than 50 million companies setup on LinkedIn.

Bottom line, LinkedIn converts to real business. 

I've been a power use of LinkedIn since 2005 when I joined their beta launch of the platform.  At the time I was working at an enterprise technology company and was fascinated at using the platform to connect with industry leaders, colleagues as well as building community for our company.

Fast forward to today and I now have more than 350,000 followers on my personal LinkedIn profile, 15,000 connections and professional relationships to last a lifetime, LinkedIn has provided my personal and business brands the highest ROI of any platform I have used. Connect with me on LinkedIn here.

LinkedIn is the #1 driver of highly qualified leads for our Digital Media and Branding Training and Consulting Agency, Marketing Nutz.

When we build relationships on LinkedIn, the leads are solid. Business owners, CEOs, CMOs, VPs and Directors reach out to us not asking “what do you do?” but instead “how can we work together asap?”

LinkedIn is our #1 top driver of traffic (second only to Google organic) to our blogs, websites, podcast, videos, email subscriptions, and so much more than I can discuss on this blog post.

The best part is we spend the LEAST amount of time on LinkedIn compared to any other social and digital platform we use, yet we get the absolute highest return on our investment and have done such since we launched our first agency in 2010!

We help businesses of all sizes in both business to business and business to consumer markets, train and empower their top executives, sales teams, business development teams, marketing teams, human resource teams, customer support teams and more how to leverage LinkedIn social selling and networking strategies to ignite their brand awareness, humanize their brand and increase sales.
