    Love it. I had no idea so much was involved in setting up your profile! I made the changes you recommended and IMMEDIATELY jumped to the first page for search results. Thank you and I look forward to the other training modules!

    This was great info on getting setup but how do I use LinkedIn to get more clients?

      Good question, Andy! There is so much to cover that we’ve broken LinkedIn into a couple sections. The first, which you just watched, is about setting up the building blocks and building a foundation for success. The next section discusses how to connect with prospects locally, increase referrals, and position yourself as an expert in your local community. We also have a section discussing LinkedIn company pages. Stay tuned for the release of the full Financial Social Media Bootcamp!

    I think this is an excellent educational tool for the individual who wants to create a first-class marketing program for their business. Best wishes for the successful launch and continuation of educational programs for your company.

    Excellent tutorial. I had my Linked-in profile open while listening to it and paused the tutorial occasionally to make changes immediately so I wouldn’t forget or procrastinate. Thanks!

    Wow, Amy, you packed it all in to a video less than 20 minutes. Excellent job. My profile has been 100% complete for a while but you gave me answers to questions I had for a while to make it even more searchable. I will be following you for more.
