LinkedIn is a powerful marketing tool. It’s a fast-growing network of millions of professionals and one of the only places the business-savvy can put their ideas in front of key decision-makers.
Although you may have a profile on the site and are sure to add contacts you’ve recently met, you’re probably not aware of all of the features you can use on the site to grow your community. For companies and individuals alike, LinkedIn has multiple platforms its members can use to find like-minded people and direct relevant content their way.
