1. Connect.  Take time to search connections and connect.  Add a personal note when sending the connection request; you don't want to look like you are just collecting connections but sincerely want to be in contact with that person.
2. Share valuable information.  If all you post is famous quotes from others or "commercials" for your product or service, your followers will lose interest and zip right by your posts.  You are an expert in your field, share your knowledge.
3. The information you share must be coming from you. Your readers can tell if you have hired someone to just push posts out for you all day long.
4. Join groups not just to join groups but to add value to your time spent on LinkedIn.  Sharing useful information within the groups will increase your credibility.  You may be pleasantly surprised at how much you can learn from others in the groups as well.
5. Check in periodically.  Consider your profile a work in progress.  Update your profile, add connections, search for new interesting groups, answer questions; as with any organization the more you participate the more you will get in return.

I enjoy shopping in the fall; the stores are stocked full of beautiful fabrics and colors.  It's the perfect time to update your personal and career wardrobe.

This is the time of year we think back to business; a time to give your career wardrobe new life.  We will begin by taking a look at what you already own, discard what isn't working, then go shopping to fill in what is needed. Our choices will be based on your best colors, figure type, career goals, personality, lifestyle and preferences. The end result will be a fresh new look for you.
