Question – What if you are searching for a position in two cities. I have two locations that I have an apartmnt to accomodate. However, you can only place the Zip code and City that you reside in. How can you get around this so it does not indicate your location?

Question 2 – For making comments – Does LinkedIn have a spelling check – as I always have to export into word for spell check before sending out.

many thanks,

John

I know I'm late to the party but I was wondering if there is a way to find mutual connections between your established connections. That is, find a person who is a first level connection to more than one of your connections but not a connection of yours.

FB sort of does this by recommending people for you to friend who is friends with several of your already established friends.

It would be interesting to know if someone is connected to say five of my LinkedIn connections but not me.

Thanks.

Hi Lewis,

I have a relatively small network on LinkedIn, but am involved in a few different groups with my targeted market demographic. What is the best way to connect with the many members of these groups without using the generic, impersonal message that LinkedIn sends?

Thanks,
Greg

I'm not spending as much time on LinkedIn as I am others because I have a system down at this point. However when I'm promoting events I'm on there more to respond to peoples questions.

Yes you can market a webinar through LinkedIn. It depends on when you start promoting it though. You can use LinkedIn ads and capture leads for the webinar about a week or two prior, or you can create an event and promote through niche groups and your network

Thanks very much for the pointers. Of course the questions are compelling!! I think I need to grow my audience and get individuals involved in my discussions - possibly dangle a carrot that they can relate to their services at the same time!

Hope you receive this.

Thanks again and hope the FB session goes well. Never liked the idea of using FB for business - much prefer LinkedIn as a platform. Unsure though so if you post supporting info I'd love to see!

Keep up the sterling work!

Sally

It's not the biggest question per say: but how many hours a day do you spend on linked in? vs twitter and facebook?

Hi Tedd,
You've come to the right place for advice, Lewis is the man when it comes to Linked In. I've learnt loads from him.

I've written a blog article about the use of Linked In recommendations and the benefits and pitfalls you should avoid. There's lots of things that can tip the balance between your readers being impressed by you or worse case scenario damage your professional reputation. You're welcome to check out my suggestions in more detail. To be or not to be... recommended on Linked In.
