Editor's Notes
- From AITP 2009 master deck with some slides deleted
- “ Reserve” your name for LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, email lists, and other places around the Internet
- What is missing here? No email No picture Old update more than 3 weeks ago
- This is because LinkedIn doesn’t display emails, so if you want to be found, put it in
- Have you met this person ever? Do you remember what they look like? Have you corresponded with them via email or called lately?
- You’ll need to create a CSV or vCard file from your contact manager and upload it to LinkedIn -- you really just need their first and last name and email fields
- Customize the message and be choosey!
- Make and ask for them from your past clients
- Note the public URL, make it some form of your name Check all the boxes that you want people to find you at
- Use the “other” tab and enter a full description of what the site is, include your name
- Link to your Wordpress blog Link to Tripit travel schedule Add Powerpoint slide decks with SlideShare
- Twitter > LinkedIn status, only can use one Twitter account per Lin account
- And use it on your resume!
- Email mailings to your contacts on a regular basis Set up a blog/web site and Twitter accounts Cross-post to your LinkedIn profile
