When you begin exploring social media networks as a marketing platform for your Atlanta business, it is a good idea to look at the benefits of using a platform such as LinkedIn. Due to its growing popularity, LinkedIn provides an excellent marketing forum with tools to maximize efficiency and exposure to the right audience.

Once you have set up a profile for your business, there are a few factors you need to keep in mind in order to get started and reap maximum benefits from LinkedIn.

Tips on getting started on LinkedIn

When you start utilizing LinkedIn, it is important to fill out your profile in as much detail as possible – especially the section regarding your products and services. Remember to highlight your content with an eye-catching image and use this platform to promote presentations as well as providing calls to action.

Sharing is vitally important to the success of your LinkedIn profile. Make sure you upload images and files to share with your followers. It is important there is a lot of activity happening on your profile, as this will show in the news feeds of your followers and will, therefore, generate more likes and attention.

Utilize the tools LinkedIn has to offer such as plugins and groups. Plugins notify people you are active on LinkedIn and groups to allow you to streamline your content according to the industry it applies to.
