LinkedIn - A social media for your business...

LinkedIn is a - way too often overlooked - way to get lots of traffic, sales and perhaps most importantly networking with future contacts to whatever your business may be. I have to admit that I have been very, very lazy in using LinkedIn myself over the years. And that I say with a huge amount of regret.

Well, anyways, LinkedIn - for those of you that don't know it - is basically a social media for businesses. There are over 300 million worldwide users and new ones are joining every second. It is HUGE!

I read a bunch of articles from sources like Forbes, Time, Fortune and many more - yes, I follow most of those on Twitter - and it suddenly struck me; This is way more important for us marketers and affiliates than any Facebook will ever be.

I found a nice little program that shows you all about marketing on LinkedIn called Linkedinfluence, created by Trevor Turnbull, that even shows you how to do marketing with a zero-budget, and that is very important for me when trying out something new!

Head over to the Linkedinfluence homepage, found HERE, read about it for yourselves; I am sure you can learn something just from the salespage :)

Socializing in Traffic Exchanges

A funny thing just happened. I was bored to death and getting a bit frustrated about the fact that there suddenly seem to be absolutely nothing to write about. So I decided to do what I always do when that happens: Log in to some of the surf-sites where they have a chat.

Today I logged in to Hit Lion, StartXChange and I Love Hits. "Hit Lion" was no fun, not for the mood I was in now. In "I Love Hits" they mostly said Goodnight and Hello, that time of the morning for the users in there. In "StartXchange" they had just talked about Finland, the wonderful country where I live!

Jiihhaa, saved by the bell!

The boredom was gone, and so were the thoughts of writing suicidal notes as the last thing ever to be written by me!

So, there you have it; The Traffic Exchanges will help you, not only to riches, but also to get on with your simple daily tasks! Social Marketing at its best.

Thank You, StartXchange and Tim Linden!

Oh, and thank YOU, all the guys that do the surfing and chatting!
