LinkedIn Media Centre shows its face

On December 11, 2012 By James Potter - The Linked In Man

If you have the newly redesigned profile you might not have noticed that there was previously no application support, so if you were using SlideShare, WordPress and more then you didn’t get a new profile, but this is starting to change as of today. LinkedIn has released a new function to enable you to integrate […]

LinkedIn Events RIP, but will it be missed?

On November 22, 2012 By James Potter - The Linked In Man

I have to say – thank goodness! Too many people created an event and expected magical things to happen (a bit like some peoples’ interaction on LinkedIn). Being present, creating a little content is simply not enough. So now LinkedIn have announced that the functionality is dead as of 26th November, what do you do? […]

Is that your LinkedIn profile sat there on a heap of new sales but you don’t realise?

On November 12, 2012 By James Potter - The Linked In Man

I think that there is a huge difference between thinking you’re using and really using the internet to develop the business. A lot of the time what I see is a public display of vanity rather than a commercially fuelled injection of sanity. But it doesn’t replace every other communication channel and tool! The internet, […]

Five quick tips on LinkedIn …

On November 5, 2012 By James Potter - The Linked In Man

I am not a huge fan of free tips on anything, mainly as they are often given by people that don’t really know what they are talking about, as it is not their core business they are giving away. I often think it is a bit like asking a carpenter for plumbing advice, you wouldn’t […]

Brand new company pages on LinkedIn

On October 30, 2012 By James Potter - The Linked In Man

Now that the noise has stopped on the new companies page (and started on the new personal profile!) I thought I would take the time to write about what has changed for your company profile experience on LinkedIn. If you haven’t seen one you can find or follow ours here http://www.linkedin.com/company/the-network-coach-limited. I have to say […]

Removing (or Adding) LinkedIn Today to Your Home Page

On October 30, 2012 By James Potter - The Linked In Man

One of the things I am often asked when people are setting up their accounts as part of the training we offer is how to get more of their networks update stream and hence more LinkedIn to see, to use and enjoy. As not everyone reads their news feeds directly from LinkedIn Today you can […]

What does Yoda know about LinkedIn?

On October 22, 2012 By James Potter - The Linked In Man

Being a huge Star Wars fan and continual networker I am often reminded of scenes from the film and how they play out in business life. How many people that we meet in real life appear a bit like Darth Vader? Unapproachable, faceless and full of foreboding, hard to engage and difficult to build business […]

How to find the right person to help you on LinkedIn

On October 11, 2012 By James Potter - The Linked In Man

With over half of the business professionals in the world on LinkedIn it can sometimes be difficult to find the right person to help you, the real “expert” and the person that could transform your outlook, your business and yourself. So how do we filter through to find the person we need? I thought it […]

On October 3, 2012 By James Potter - The Linked In Man

You have always been able to recommend people on LinkedIn but after the announcement some weeks ago you can also now endorse your 1st degree connections’ skills and expertise on LinkedIn with just one click. It is really simple to endorse someone’s skills on LinkedIn, simply scroll down to the skills section of their profile, click […]
