Linkedin. Anyone use it?

[Lovebeauty14]

Hey well just setting up a linked in account. How does it work? At the moment I'm setting up a profile and it's coming up with the Sweets, Kim Lawless, Doug Schoon, etc to 'connect' with. If I click on them will they think I'm a weirdo because they don't actually know me or is it the same as Facebook where that doesn't really matter?

Thanks!

Oh thats alright then! Lol.

It was like 'Do you know these people?' and I was like, well over Salon Geek I speak to them but I don't know if that counts! Lol.

Oh and I've never spoke to Doug Schoon I just know he's wrote a really good nail book! Lol.

It's more of a business tool than facebook so you should really connect with people you know or people you want to connect with in a business sense. I'm on it as Angela Byrne (Easydry) if you want to connect with me.

You can set up a profile for yourself and a profile for your company. This is good if there are a few people from your company using linked in.

There are also groups for different professions eg you might find a group for beauty salon owners that might be interesting for you.

There's a question section where you can search by topic or key word.

You can pay for an upgrade but I'm not 100% sure what the extras are for the cost.

Play around with it for a while and you will pick it up quiet quickly. Let me know if you've any questions / problems.

Thanks Angela I will.
Yes that is what I want it for, for my business.
Might have to look around for groups!
