Using LinkedIn Groups for Great Results

Now that you’ve been schooled in what makes Groups great, you’re ready to benefit from even more tailored information on strategic Group participation. Both job seekers and businesses can exceed their professional expectations with LinkedIn Groups. Here are some tips on how to leverage Groups to discover a career-changing industry connection, win an amazing position, or snag a dream client or sale.

HOW TO USE GROUPS FOR AMAZING NETWORKING

Again, the Groups feature is what distinguish LinkedIn as the prime spot for professional networking online. Take advantage of this with the following relationship-oriented tips, any one of which could one day have you communicating with a top-level Contact in your field.

Ask and answer one question every day.

If you do both of these on a daily basis, you will quickly earn a reputation as someone who deserves to be Contacted for rewarding conversations outside of the Group. Asking a pertinent, stimulating question communicates your passion and curiosity about the Group’s topic, while answering an existing question colors you as both helpful and an expert.

Connect daily with one Group member.

Regularly following the above tip will eventually encourage someone to reply or thank you for your posting. This creates the perfect opportunity for you to message this person, set up a phone conversation, learn more about their professional background, or—best of all—earn a new First-degree connection, which expands your LinkedIn network exponentially.

Refrain from promoting yourself.

While this may sound counterintuitive, always err against touting your own horn; gear everything you write to the specific subject at hand, or the person you’re networking with. Too much first-person commentary (“I,” “me,” “my”) will mark you as a self-promoter, or, in other words, someone more interested in selling himself than in connecting with the Group.
