    I have recently heard about a social media site called linkedin

    Apparently it is easy to utalize as a marketing tool

    I have an account with them because I also heard it is a good site to use. I have the free account. But, I have not had much luck there even though I have 100+ connections.

    It's a very good site, yet aimed at professionals mostly, so one have to be very careful on what to publish there.
    Otherwise one won't get any respect and naturally promo effects will be low.

    Linkedin is one of the more popular social media sites for business connections on the net today. It certainly has its use and you shouldnt overlook it simply because its not a direct social network as most think of them (such as FB and Twitter). In fact, because it is does offer a different approach to marketing socially most would say using it can only increase your Social Impact.

    Best of luck in your endevors!

    I am using LinkedIn . My opinion is that is the best network for business (not for spam your products) . There you will make contacts (business contacts) you can follow people with same interests make connections and expend your job or even find/get job offers etc.. Much more serious and business oriented than other networks...

    For what I have read here, It is a good site to get involved with, but certainly, it is more for professional people

    to use it as a marketing tool (I think).

    LinkedIn is a good social media site as I know. But I always prefer Facebook as a social media site. I also use twitter and Google+ ... :)

    I think it's helpful to build up my profile and contact list while I am employed, so if/when I become unemployed I have a number of people to contact right away for job leads.

    LinkedIn is geared towards professional marketing. It's great for you as an individual and great for your company if you're selling higher-cost, service- or consultative-type products. I don't think it's the best route for marketing a consumer-oriented (B2C) firm.

    Linkedin is a bit like Facebook for grown-ups :) In terms of business to business marketing in your local area it is very good. It is also a good way of building a mailing list. You can export all your connections, details to a csv file then stick them in your email program.

    LinkedIn the largest professional platforms. About 70% of the companies make use of LinkedIn in their recruitments and hirings. It is not very good choice for you if you are looking for direct marketing and advertisement. It proves valuable in building professional relationships over the period of time.
