My favorite way to connect with people I would like to network with is to send them messages through groups that I have joined.

Nice stuff… I’ll second the LI groups idea. I spent last weekend participating in several of the groups I’d joined but not chimed in on – increased my Twitter followers and FB page Likes by massive percentage jumps. Met a ton of like-minded people and some who are really different – all of it good.

When you post to your LinkedIn status, be sure to check the share box next to the Twitter bird, so it automatically posts to your Twitterfeed.

Thanks again.

I would put my home e-mail address as primary, only because any job offer or request for information would look badly if it went to my work email.

For LinkedIn, do you recommend using a personal email address as your primary address, or the work one? I know you say if using work email to use personal as backup. Just wondering what is the better way.

Simple but effective tips – thanks. I’d add that you should update your status regularly, to keep it current.

Say Thank You. After someone takes the time to write you a nice recommendation – take the time to thank them. Nothing makes me want to take a recommendation back more than this lack of manners. Also – when requesting a recommendation make the request personal.

If you have a blog, use the Linked-in wordpress or bloglink application to your profile so that followers of your profile will see your blog posts automatically.

My best suggestions come from newbies who find them helpful, so if you find something that works for you when you do start using LinkedIn, please return and let us know what you found! Thanks

Thanks Judy. That was meant to be an example site, but I guess it went live. Whoops! It doesn’t go to porno anymore.
