There are two ways that you can grow your business on Linkedin and I’m going to mention them both. And tell you what I use as well. Because this is important as it should be when you start. You don’t have to start with one until you know the other because now everything is clear and I recommend deciding from the beginning.

Ways to promote your business on Linkedin:

  • Through your profile
  • Creating a page for your company or business

Here are the two methods and although I have a page, I prefer to use my profile to promote. The difference between pages and the profile is followers and connections. When you have a company page, you will get followers and connections for the profile. Whatever you like to use will be your choice. However, the tips below will be through the profile.

Tips for Facebook marketing you should know today

Here are a couple of successful people’s quotes about Linkedin. I love reading quotes about many things…

One of the great things about LinkedIn is it isn’t the same kind of networking that happens at conventions, where you’re wearing a name tag, trying to meet strangers, and awkwardly attempting to make small talk. LinkedIn is networking without the pressure.
By Melanie Pinola

Active participation on LinkedIn is the best way to say, ‘Look at me!’ without saying ‘Look at me!
Said by Bobby Darnell

Let’s talk about the tips to help grow your small business and create a community on Linkedin. Build your brand using this platform and be successful. Hopefully, you can find your niche in this platform but from my search, I tried many niches and can see people’s points. However, it’s not that many in some niches.

Build connections with other business owners

So, the first one is very important. You need to work on building connections with other people. Business owners that have the same niches. Maybe similar niches might help you to work together to grow your business. It might be easy to connect but make sure to maintain a good connection with them. Try to know those who accept to talk with you.

FYI

You can congratulate someone when they achieve a milestone. Also, when they achieve a higher rank in their business. Wish them a happy birthday as well. these things you can do and Linkedin gives you a notification to do that. Could be a good way to start connecting with people on your connections list.

Use Linkedin to grow your business owners’ friends list. That can help you to grow your business and find opportunities to help you with that. This is something I’ve been doing since I started marketing on Linkedin. However, I don’t have long conversations with them because I’m very busy these days.

Optimize and set up your Linkedin properly

Next, you will need to know how to optimize your Linkedin profile properly. That way it can help you to grow your business. The way how to do this will depend on why you using the platform. Some people use to find jobs and hire people. And the people who own a business, you can find their profiles are different as well.

What to optimize:

  • Your profile picture
  • The cover for your profile
  • Details about you and the business
  • Add the skills and talents you have
  • what business do you have and work in

There are many things that you need to focus on. And Linkedin will give you suggestions and help you to set up everything. Therefore, don’t worry and just make sure to fill in everything necessary.

Another great way to grow your business. Using Linkedin groups and communities will help grow your business. however, find the best groups that are active. Some of them have members but they don’t have many active members. That would be a waste of attempts to promote or grow.

It’s not just about sharing or promoting. Also, engage with other people. Which can lead to helping each other sometimes. And you got yourself a one-person closer to growing your business. Appreciate any support from people no matter how many or how small it is. Even just viewing your profile means that you doing better.

Make sure to join the premium version with a business plan

Something that I didn’t do when I started using Linkedin. Having the premium version is very good and you need to choose the plan that you want. And you need to choose the business plan since you want to grow your business. You will get good features that can help you to grow. The platform is free but the premium has good features to grow more.

There is a free month trial that anyone can use to test it. That would be a good start to getting familiar with the premium version and how things go. As you know with the free version, you would always have limited stuff. However, if you want the full potential, the premium is the way to go.
