Topics Discussed:
Today I talk to Sue Ellson who is an Independent LinkedIn Specialist. As the title would suggest Sue lives and breaths LinkedIn. We discuss the importance of LinkedIn to connect with partners, suppliers and clients. Sue also explains how to do this. She discusses the enormous benefit LinkedIn has on Google Searches. We talk about the sort of content to post and how often. We also touch on how to set up your LinkedIn profile so that it is optimized so you can be found. Lots and lots of tips and tricks in this fireside chat.
Today we’re joined by LinkedIn specialist, Sue Ellson who tells us how finding the right social media platform to brand and promote your business can literally put you at the top of your game in Google’s engine search.
“Imagine if you and your staff had a LinkedIn profile and liked, commented on and shared your company page … most people know at least 250 other people … things can go viral!”
