Making the Most of Linked In

Uncategorized

I have nearly 500 contacts on LinkedIn. Will you be the 500th? Invite me!

Linked In can be an important tool to grow your business and your influence.

When I spoke at the recent National Speakers Association Branding Lab in Boston, I learned about an ebook that Jill Konrath wrote called “Can LinkedIn Increase Your Sales?”

If you’re wondering if you should be using LinkedIn – or even how – I think you’ll find it helpful. You can download your copy at http://www.sellingtobigcompanies.com/linkedin

Improve productivity by cutting out spam

spam filtering software

I love spamarrest. I couldn’t live without it.

At the very best, I see only emails enter my email account that have been approved by me. Then I go to their website and quickly scan the mail it blocked — 99 percent is junk. The one percent that should have gone through usually is from new clients who haven’t clicked on the approval option.

I check the folder in the morning and then 2-3 times a day. It really works.

Here’s another tip: I have a lot of domains (publicity for doctors, trainers, consultants, etc.) that I just post a page for, but don’t have active emails addresses. The spammers found that sites and send me junk, so we disabled the email option on those sites. That cut down spam a lot. So if you have old sites, pointer sites, or sites that you really don’t need mail from, you might want to do this.

I’d heartily recommend spam arrest (and I get an affiliate commission if you click on this link)

If you’d like to get more leads from press releases, I’d recommend this service: Public Relations Softwar e because Google indexes every press release sent by clients of this service. If you don’t know how to write a press release, they will connect you with a writer who charges extremely reasonable rates, or you can find writers on elance.
