Why LinkedIn Groups Are Great and How to Build a Successful One

Why LinkedIn Groups Are Great and How to Build a Successful One | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it
With the shift in social media in the recent years, closed communities such as LinkedIn Groups might be the next best way to engage your audience. Here's why you should consider LinkedIn Groups and how to build a professional community with one.

LinkedIn is the best platform to reach professionals who are interested in connecting with other professionals. This makes it a great place to build your professional community. While LinkedIn Groups might not have a great reputation (now), the few well-run groups are good indications that it’s possible to create a successful one.

If your business targets other businesses as potential customers, then you should certainly be on LinkedIn, and use the platform to benefit from the social selling opportunities available. The upward trend of LInkedIn, as a marketing rather than a recruitment tool, has seen the creation of a range of tools to assist in lead generation activities via LinkedIn. Ten of the most useful of these tools, are discussed in this eye-opening article.

Strengthen Your Brand with a Great Website

Strengthen Your Brand with a Great Website | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it
Creating a website is not the same as creating a brand. Your website might have a million dollar look, yet still not reflect your corporate identity

Via janlgordon
janlgordon's curator insight, June 2, 2017 7:32 PM

I selected this article from Curatti written by Helen Miller because it shows you how to boost your brand with a stand-out website.

 

Branding and website development and design are not the same thing.

 

Promote Your Brand with a Strong Website

 

You can take your business image to a new level with the right design and content strategies. I agree that it's not just one method that will make this successful.

 

Miller provides examples and advice on establishing a brand identity that gets seen.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • If your website is outdated there are new templates you can try in WordPress. Use a new design to help tell your brand story and establish your brand name.

 

  • Before telling the story of your company find out first what your core values are, the strengths of your skills, what you want to be known for, the personality of your brand, and how you will stand out from the rest in your industry.

 

  • Optimize your LinkedIn profile to make it more professional. Use a custom headline with a clear summary of what you have to offer your prospects.

Curatti On Air: The Greg Cooper LinkedIn Interview

Via janlgordon
janlgordon's curator insight, March 24, 2017 7:31 PM

In our latest Curatti interview, Greg Cooper talks about the benefits of LinkedIn for business.

 

"This video is based on my original Curatti article titled “8 Reasons Why You Are Not Getting More Business from LinkedIn”.

LinkedIn is most widely used and credible online venue for businesses of all sizes. No other platform provides both the depth of information about your target audience and the ability to quickly find, connect and engage with that audience. Yet many businesses are failing to take full advantage of this opportunity.

Some of the areas covered in this approximately 20-minute interview include:

 

  • The importance of creating a complete and compelling profile
  • Why you need an All-Star profile
  • How to build a relevant and opportunity rich network
  • What is the right size for a LinkedIn network?
  • Which types of content work best?
  • How to use LinkedIn search to quickly find your ideal prospects
  • Building a virtual team to support and share your content
  • How much time to spend on LinkedIn
  • Why little and often is the most practical strategy for most people

 

I also share several real-life examples of businesses who have enjoyed great success with LinkedIn, including one business which has turned LinkedIn into a lead generation conveyor belt.

The Curatti On Air LinkedIn Interview

In this interview, I discuss some of the reasons why so many businesses fail to take advantage of the benefits of LinkedIn.  It was a vibrant and enjoyable conversation with Curatti’s Andy Capaloff and host, Cheryl Tan."

Indeed, the look is much cleaner, with more white space. And, much to my relief, navigating between the various modules—profile, home, messaging, jobs, notifications, my network, etc.—is much easier. You click on "more" in the upper right corner to access other modules, and the look of all the modules is now consistent.

"

Text ads are the simplest ads on LinkedIn. They consist of a short bit of text and, optionally, a small image. They display on the top or right side of users’ screens.Display ads are standard visual ads that show up on the right side of LinkedIn’s main content.Dynamic ads display in the same spot as display ads, but use information from a user’s profile to personalize the ad to them. For example, it might tell them a connection of theirs joined a specific group or followed a certain company.Sponsored content displays natively in users’ regular feeds. Businesses can use it to promote content they post on their LinkedIn profiles or elsewhere online.Sponsored InMail takes personalized advertising one step further. It allows marketers to send personalized messages on LinkedIn to specific users. InMail arrives when the user is online and active in order to increase open rates."

I selected this article from Curatti written by Susan Gilbert because it provides information on how to increase engagement on social media.

 

In order to stay ahead of the competition it's important to effectively reach your target market.

 

Drive Up Your Social Media Sales

 

As you grow your audience on social media you will want to build trusted relationships with them. I agree that in order to attract new customers you need to focus on approaching your audience in an authentic way.

 

Gilbert explains how to best approach your social media marketing in a non-sales way.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Engage on Facebook -- especially in groups. This is still one the top places to build your brand and a community. Once you establish relationships there you can lead them to your Page.

 

  • On Twitter take advantage of trending hashtags and engage in live chats and contests. There is still a viable audience who is interested in what your brand has to offer there.

 

  • Get active with mobile marketing and start posting and engaging. Include SMS text messaging or push notifications as a part of this strategy.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Ian Naylor because it explains how to develop a strong social media strategy that works for your business.

 

It's important to build solid objectives in order to be successful in social media marketing.

 

Common Social Media Mistakes

 

While you can create a social media account and begin tweeting or posting this will not guarantee solid growth. I agree that it takes focus and dedication to get real results.

 

Naylor explains what to avoid and how to properly grow your social brand.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Avoid spreading yourself too thin on too many networks. Focus on one and then move up from there. It takes time and dedication to develop your community.

 

  • Include the human touch in your accounts rather than just relying on automation or standard content. When people see the same messages they become bored quickly and move on.

 

  • It's important to include video as a part of your marketing strategy. People are especially drawn to this medium -- especially live stream broadcasts.
