But what is Linkedln?
Linkedln is a platform that was founded in 2002 to put professionals in contact with other people or companies. The objective of this social network is not only to look for work but you can also find ideas, people with which to do business or promote your service, product or knowledge about a topic.
How does Linkedln work?
The first utility that Linkedin provides us is to use it as a repository for our personal curriculum. The first thing that asks us when we create a user is to fill in all the work, academic, competence and knowledge information we have. Linkedin itself guides us step by step to fill each of the sections in the best way, and tells us the level of precision of our CV according to the amount of information we have added.
We could say that the most important utility of this social network is the capacity and ease it gives us to connect with other professionals. The type of contacts and their professional relationship with us are what makes this network different from the rest.
Once we have our profile filled in and we have connected with colleagues, professionals or customers in our sector, the next step is to generate activity on the social network commenting and making publications.
In order for these publications to be useful and generate interest, they must be focused on the professional field: news about the sector, advances in research, job offers, personal opinions on some work environment, etc. They can contain text and can be combined with photos, videos, links or surveys and our contacts will be able to interact with it. Publications must provide some value.
This is the best network for networking since, in addition to being able to create and share content, it allows you to send and receive private messages that can help you find new customers, actively search for staff or create synergies with other professionals or companies.
On this platform you should avoid topics about your private life (that is why other social networks such as Facebook or Instagram are already available), since this is not the objective of this network.
We must use Linkedin to define our personal brand, so we must be clear about the knowledge we want to disseminate and set clear objectives.
