List Building Tip – Most LinkedIn Group Owners Miss This

By Denise Wakeman

In previous posts about LinkedIn, I’ve written that hosting a LinkedIn Group is by far the best way to build a community, connect with potential new clients and drive more traffic back to your blog. And there’s one more thing (at least).

LinkedIn Groups can be a great source of new subscribers for your blog or email list. But, most Group owners/managers miss this one key place to encourage new subscribers…

[NOTE: this is an evergreen tactic. I checked the steps in March 2015 and they are still correct. ~ Denise] [Read more…]

LinkedIn Tips – Use Groups to Connect with Potential Clients

By Denise Wakeman

LinkdedIn Tips for Groups

Recently I started using LinkedIn with a lot more intention. Working through the LinkedInfluence course, I learned quite a few important LinkedIn tips. Rather than simply adding new connections and giving occassional recommendations, I decided to really use it. The most effective thing I did was start a LinkedIn group for people who wanted to boost their online visibility. I also optimized my profile for sending new traffic and prospects back to my blog.

The Adventures in Visibility Group is extremely active with over 1600 members at the time of writing this post. It’s a generous group, sharing tips, resources, and helping each other. Most importantly, though, we actively share each other’s content to help boost visibility.

My co-faculty member at Social Media Biz School, Viveka Van Rosen is a LinkedIn expert. She travels all over the U.S. doing social media seminars with a particular emphasis on LinkedIn. Below, she shares one of her important LinkedIn tips…

LinkedIn Tips from Viveka von Rosen

Viveka recommends using LinkedIn Groups to connect to potential clients. Some of the groups to consider are:

  • Jobs (with 640000+ members)
  • Toplinked
  • LinkedStrategies (Top LinkedIn Strategies Group on LinkedIn)
  • LinkChat (LinkedIn group associated with the #LinkedInChat)
  • Groups related to your industry
  • Groups related to your client’s industry
  • Alumni groups
  • Local groups

To find groups simply click on the groups tab in the middle of the page, then click on the “Groups Directory.” Finally, start typing in the keywords, location, group name or company group you are looking for.  Then click on Join and start exploring!

Remember, you can only join 50 groups but you can always delete groups and join others.
