Create Business Opportunities Using LinkedIn

LinkedIn offers the ability to create new relationships, strengthen existing relationships, and draw the attention of individuals seeking your products & professional services. LinkedIn is a very valuable online marketing tool that not many people know about. It has a free account and offers networking & business opportunities. You have a personal profile where clients and colleagues can add recommendations; these also show on your profile.
Linkedin has a selection of productivity tools and there is even an app for smart phones so you can take your contacts with you everywhere.  Their feature InPerson enables LinkedIn iPhone users to swap contact information by simply bumping their phones together; the connection is made over Bluetooth. It’s very similar to an iPhone app called Bump, which does practically the same thing.

Here is a link to an interesting article from the International Networking Group, BNI about the benefits of Linkedin.
