Thank you. Your post served as a good reminder for me to return to my once-a-week group-comment habit that used to provide me with some nice new business leads. As the workload increased however, I found that keeping up with LinkedIn has seemed to be challenging - especially, along with updating all the other 'necessary' social media resources. One LinkedIn app that I have found useful as well, is the automatic blog posting uplink. Google Analytics has shown a definite in LinkedIn traffic coming to the 'Simply Said' blog since I downloaded that available LI app. Fyi, I wanted to let you know that your Marketess blog is linked as one of the "Blogs I Like" on the Simply Said blog. Best wishes. Krista,

I really appreciate you stopping by my blog :) LinkedIn etiquette isn't very well defined and requires judgment. My opinion is that if you are sending a connection request to someone who might not know you I would include a personal note explaining how you are connected and why you want to connect with them on LinkedIN. I think that this increases your chances of them accepting the connection. If you get too many declined requests LinkedIn will suspend your account - so you want to be careful. Mary - Glad you found this helpful :) Linkedin is so powerful but many people fail to realize the full potential. Ryan

I think its the social network that can be the most beneficial for growing your business and personal brand, and its often (at least for me) the most neglected. Going to try and devote some more time to expanding my network and participating in the groups. I couldn't believe how many SM discussion boards are out there, so hopefully I'll have SOMETHING to add. I also wonder if people should start putting their LinkedIn contact info on business cards. That would make it much easier to keep a running Rolodex of contacts, as well as keep the network top of mind. I do find the applications a bit limiting as I would love to stream not only my blog posts, but also a Twitter feed, etc into my profile. Quick question: What's the etiquette for adding someone to your network? I know you can 'get introduced' but do you think it's acceptable to add peeps like 'bigger' bloggers and SM Gurus to my network even if we're not buddies in real life? Or is it more like a Facebook standard where you really should know someone before asking to be part of their network? Perhaps a LinkedIN rules of the road post is in your future???
