Do you use LinkedIn Answers?
Admittedly, I don’t use LinkedIn to its full potential. A feature was just brought to my attention by Kent Lewis of Anvil Media, LinkedIn Answers. LinkedIn Answers is a feature not so prominently featured on the page (the page is busy enough as it is). It is very similar to Yahoo! Answers. You ask questions and any users can submit answers. You can then select the “Best Answer” which will display on their profile. Since LinkedIn focuses on business and professional services, questions generally revolve around business advice. Their are a lot of experts on this site, so you can get some great free and insightful advice. The benefits of answering questions are just as great. Every answer you post is a reflection on you and your brand. You are building your credibility and expert status. And each time you are tagged as the “Best Answer” your credibility sky rockets. It can also be a great way to find new leads and get new business without doing traditional sales.
Now start building your LinkedIn expertise!
