- 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.

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 give 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.

This is an extra pin within this one. having the profile cover optimized is really important and depending on how you do it that can help you. Ensure to include your social media and business website. Many people will view your profile and this can help a lot to grow your business or brand.
Join Active communities and engage in them

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.
Use the featured post to introduce your business

This is one of the steps that you can use to optimize your Linkedin profile. When setting your profile, you will have the option to set up a featured post. Make sure to use it for showing people your business. Anyone that wants to check the details about you. They will have a link to your business.
