Who this webinar is for?
Any business owners or marketing personnel who have made a start on LinkedIn but just don’t use it enough to take full advantage of its capabilities. Sometimes there can be a fear of putting the wrong type of content out, this webinar will alleviate some of those fears.
675 million+ members are on LinkedIn, so it is not enough to simply create a profile, the work is nowhere near done, it’s just beginning. LinkedIn is the largest professional networking platform, so where do you start?

We will answer…
How do I make my profile stand out?
When should I post?
Should I really share that?
Do I click yes to that connection request?
Why should I use hashtags?
Are there any tools I can use to improve my LinkedIn presence?
Jennifer Bishop, a LinkedIn expert from Melbourne, Australia, argues that LinkedIn participation and profiles seriously reflect professionals' online brands. With over 100 million users globally and 1.3 million in Australia, LinkedIn leads business conversations where Facebook and Twitter lead social conversations. Bishop says professionals must establish social media policies to manage risks and should have complete LinkedIn profiles linked to their websites and companies to leverage LinkedIn's search engine optimization power. Bishop also notes LinkedIn allows businesses to actively engage with customers and employees to build their brands.

Top 5 tips for Short-Term & Project Based VolunteersAndrew Hoffman
The document outlines 5 tips for short-term and project based volunteerism. Tip 1 is to be selective about which volunteer opportunities to pursue as underplanned projects are often more trouble than helpful. Tip 2 is to understand the different types and motivations of volunteers, such as their age group, whether it fulfills a requirement, and how best to communicate with them. Tip 3 is to define the pros and cons of short-term volunteer projects upfront. Tip 4 is to be well-prepared for volunteers by having a plan, clear expectations and instructions, and following up afterwards. Tip 5 is to share your organization's mission with volunteers to give their work purpose and meaning.
There are pros and cons of everything we do, including social networking. It can consume our time, distract us from our tasks, allow us to hide from others and hinder our personal relationships. I'm a huge fan of the benefits but am very aware of the drawbacks.
