13 LinkedIn Mistakes You Should Avoid
Posted by: Whitney Austin | Posted at: 12:02 AM
LinkedIn, the socially connected professional network, has made numerous changes over the past few months to become more than a job resource. The changes have made it a viable tool for people to connect, discuss, get answers to questions as well as connect with people that they just may be working with in the future. The future of social media marketing is bright and the tools we use today are building blocks for what is yet to come. Creating profiles that are complete and honest are just the beginning. Many of these have been written time and time again but as I look to connect with new people, I still see the same mistakes being made.
13 LinkedIn Mistakes to Avoid
1. Default URL. Increase your personal branding so easily by changing the default to a personal URL. Click Edit Public Profile Settings in the top right and then edit your Public Profile URL to your name.
2. My Website/My Company. Keeping the default is asking people to look above to see who your current employer is and then go back and click on it. It is a simple change: On your profile, click websites, then at the drop down, click "Other" and then type in the name and descriptive terms
3. Private Profile. As social media is evolving with Google's live search, Bing/Twitter as well as Google's Social Search what was private is not anymore. Go public so people can find you.
4. Joining Groups. The maximum amount of groups you can join is 50. While that seems like a lot, how many people are at the max? There is so much information contained in groups - news, discussions, slide shares - that failing to join groups is basically like missing out on an opportunity to connect. 50 is not always the easiest to keep up with and connect with all members but the information shared in the groups is very valuable.
5. Lack of Participation in Discussions. Social media is about connecting and building relationships - talking to people. Taking part in discussions gets you noticed as well as keeps the conversation going and the sharing of information, viewpoints and knowledge.
6. Not Asking/Answering Questions. Asking questions and getting feedback from others is not only free, it many times does give you answers that you were seeking. Answering questions allows you to share what you know and build a reputation within your industry.
7. Linking Every Tweet. Pushing every tweet to your LinkedIn status is noise. I am a very big fan of Twitter, on twitter. Having people that I am connected with on LinkedIn to see every tweet is not the proper forum. Selected tweets of articles that are good reads are worth sharing absolutely, but every tweet, no.
8. Lack of Company Page. As a business owner, a company page is another way to get found. Create a company page so that people know you are there. There had been some hesitations as each employee that adds you as an employer is linked to you and once they leave, they can speak about the company in a manner that is not consistent with company policy shall we say. Months ago this was a factor but with the social media tools available there is no excuse for not having a company page.
9. Incomplete Profile. Lack of a photo (or updated photo), complete summary and custom title. President does not cut it anymore. People do not search for president, CEO, etc. Your summary is your chance to let people know what you do and how you can help them.
10. Connecting & Then Selling. It is not a forum for a sales pitch. Similar to auto dm's in Twitter. People who connect with you have to agree and they will look to find out what you do. Sending a thanks for connecting with a sales pitch is asking to be ignored.
11. Not Updating Status. Every tweet is overkill but not updating your status is showing people that you are not active. Inactivity is showing that you are an infrequent visitor. Be active. Let people know what you are involved in, reading, etc.
12. Failing to Comment on Comments. This is similar to comments on our blog. If someone comments, then respond to them. You are asking them to read, they are responding, take time to acknowledge their efforts.
13. Not Giving or Asking for Recommendations. Giving is easier than asking. I do not like to ask for them as I think that if I give one then that is sort of a nod back to that person to maybe give one back. Bad strategy ... probably but the importance is to give and then ask.
As you go and look at your LinkedIn profile, look for ways to improve. We are all on limited time and to check this profile, that one and the newest one that comes out is not easy. Staying involved with certain platforms that are making changes is a sign for what is to come.
Agree? What have you done to enhance your profile and stand out?

GENERAL: Some more insight for using LinkedIn
Posted by: "john sampson" jcsspike@yahoo.com jcsspike
Sat Feb 6, 2010 2:24 pm (PST)
Summary:
Sometimes, you search for someone in LinkedIn, but it says "out of network" because they aren´t a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level connection, and LinkedIn won´t give you the person´s name. You assume you have to pay LinkedIn $25 in order to see their name. Not true, because you know me.
Details:
Here´s my real life example
I was talking to a potential client (for social media consulting) at Connecticut Plastics, and she mentioned to me that the owner would be calling me. I didn´t hear his name clearly, and it would be awkward if I didn´t know him by name when he called.
I did an advanced search on LinkedIn for
Connecticut Plastics ownerand it showed that he had a LinkedIn profile, but he was "out of network", so LinkedIn wouldn´t give his name.
Cough up 25 bucks? Not yet.
Look in Google using a fancy trick
Realize that Google has most LinkedIn profiles, so the trick is to somehow find them on Google for free. If you pick some unique string from the info that LinkedIn does show you, and use a special feature of Google called the "site:" feature, (which allows you to just search one site on the Internet), you may find the name and full profile through Google.
I saw the string
Engineer at Alinabal
in his profile and figured that very few other people would have that string in their profile. Therefore, I put it into Google, along with the word owner, using the following magic search string
Engineer at Alinabal owner site:www.linkedin. comand found the profile in the Google results. I clicked on the link, and LinkedIn showed me the LinkedIn profile page, with name and all.
See a 2 minute sample video
If you want to see a 2 minute video that shows exactly how to do it, go to my web site at
http://www.patricko malley.com/ linkedin- find-out- of-network- profiles- free.htmlThis technique doesn´t work in every case, but it works in a lot of cases. If it works for you, please send me $25 each time.
Pretty cool, huh? Pass it on...
Shameless self-promotion

It makes a compelling reason for those who are interested in picking up "Guerilla Marketing for Job Hunters 2.0". They cite the same thing plus other FREE useful hints in creating a cohesive job huntung strategy. I am overwhelmed with information and I've only finished 1/3 of the book. Will require a second read. Glad to hear your anecdote!
