LinkedIn Tip #1 - Have You Been Hoodwinked by LinkedIn?

In October, I logged into my LinkedIn account and felt like I had landed on Mars!

Was this you?

There were several new things that appeared during the course of the week.

1. There is a whole new look.

2. The Inbox is totally changed.

3. The way you search for your key target audience in the groups has changed.

Here's the "schtick".

You can still do everything you have been accustomed to doing on LinkedIn. You just need to know how to implement these new changes.

Over the next few weeks, I will expand on these "newbies" to help you adapt.

I am pleased that LinkedIn is so astute and keeps upgrading their platform to accommodate change. Change is good in this case.

Tip for Today:

In your Inbox, when you respond to messages, there is a tiny box at the bottom of the "reply" area that is automatically checked to send a message every time you press enter. Be careful to uncheck this box if you do not want to send a message with every sentence you type in your replies. What will happen is the person you are responding to will receive a new message with every sentence. I don't think you would want to do that, would you.

Watch for my next tip tomorrow.

Make it a great day!
