But first, let’s discuss why someone should use LinkedIn. The #1 advantage of LinkedIn is it’s all Business! LinkedIn is a business oriented social media networking service. It allows businesses to build a personal and business brand by providing both personal pages and a business page. LinkedIn can also increase visibility of products and services for your company. Through LinkedIn’s groups, you can participate in targeted and relevant business groups to establish your authority and leadership in your area, build connections with prospective clients, and develop new strategic partnerships.
You might ask yourself, “What can LinkedIn do for me?”
Great question! LinkedIn is an easy and effective way to find like-minded people and business associates. LinkedIn allows users to read a person’s business history on a single page. You can also see whom they associate with and other people they know, allowing you to reach out and make a connection with them as well.

#3: Creating a Vision
Creating a vision for your social media platform will vary slightly for each social media site. In general, you want to decide the following for your business.
What is the picture of your future for your Social Media Strategy?
Where do you see your business in the next five years?
What do you want your business/brand to be known for?
What’s your legacy?
Remember, LinkedIn is all about business. Your vision for your LinkedIn platform should also be all about business. Some examples are below:
Vision Example #1:
To become the leading resource on LinkedIn for creative and cool basket weaving ideas!
Vision Example #2:
To help 1000s of men and women with chronic health conditions experience renewed health and happiness!
Vision Example #3:
To moderate the most popular and engaging “Internet Marketing” group in LinkedIn.
Vision Example #4:
To create an increase of new strategic JV partners to take my business to new levels.
Vision Example #5:
To become the predominant “your niche” consultant (and guru) in LinkedIn.
ACTION STEP: Write a short one sentence LinkedIn vision statement that aligns with your business objectives and inspires and motivates you to keep building your Social Media Platform!
#4: Setting Strategic Goals
According to an eMarketer Report, 80% of businesses incorrectly begin with tactics instead of goals. Goals for your LinkedIn profiles need to be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely (SMART goals).
Set strategic goals that are attainable for your company. You will measure these goals periodically to evaluate your efforts. Strategic goals for LinkedIn might look like these.
