While marketers consistently praise more successful networks like Facebook, and audiences flock to cool new platforms like Snapchat, LinkedIn doesn’t seem to get much love.Alyssa BereznakRinger staff writer Alyssa Bereznak calls the network a “cultural wasteland — a place where words like ‘synergy’ are taken seriously” — “where fun goes to die.”Seth MeyersNBC’s “Late Night” host, Seth Meyers, cracked this joke after hearing about Microsoft’s recent acquisition of LinkedIn: “Microsoft has announced it will buy the professional networking site LinkedIn for $26.2 billion. This also marks the first time anyone has ever accepted a LinkedIn invitation.”MarketersWhile we may not have a “synergy” poster hanging on our office wall, we’re here to tell you that if you’re a marketer looking to generate leads and traffic, LinkedIn is certainly no joke.BusinessesAs it turns out, several thousand businesses report that in at least one case, LinkedIn is more important than any other social network — even Facebook.Social Media ExaminerHow LinkedIn fits into the 2016 social media landscape -- Less than a month ago, Social Media Examiner released their 2016 survey of more than 5,000 marketers on the usage of social media platforms, strategies, challenges, etc. After reading through it, we saw a lot of facts we expected to find… and then, a few we didn’t: 40% of respondents indicated that the most important network for B2B marketers is LinkedIn. It beats out Facebook by 3%, Twitter by 25%, and absolutely dwarfs YouTube, Google +, and Instagram.InstagramThe second most important social platform for marketers overall is LinkedIn. While networks like Instagram and Snapchat have hogged the spotlight as of late, and Twitter is thought of as second only to Facebook, data shows that when it comes to marketing importance, LinkedIn has a comfortable lead on all but one network.SnapchatTwitterSocial Media ManagersLinkedIn is used up to 23% more by experienced social media managers than beginners.FacebookThe two platforms marketers want to learn more about are: 1. Facebook, and 2. LinkedIn.LinkedIn UsersIf you’re in camp number 2, today is your lucky day. It doesn’t matter if you’re an agency, small business, or a freelancer — we’re going to show you how to generate more leads and traffic with LinkedIn.Most LinkedIn users are familiar with the “Someone has viewed your profile” email notification. If you’re like me, you’ll open it, glance at the content, and send it directly to the trash. But according to LinkedIn expert John Nemo, by doing that I’m missing out on opportunities to generate leads. Instead, I should follow that email (or click the “who’s viewed your profile” link in the “Profile” drop-down on my personal LinkedIn page), and track down the people who have viewed my profile. Then… “once you find someone worth reaching out to (meaning a person who you think is your ideal prospect or customer), you can open his or her profile in a new tab, scan it to quickly find out some additional personal and professional information about him or her, and then invite him or her to connect.” Think about it. This person has just viewed your profile, meaning they’ve taken the step to find out more about you. Reach out to learn why. It could very well be that they’re interested in your products or services.PluginsTake advantage of plugins_da13b894-7eb4-11ea-a3c6-8d4b1683ea002RapportiveThis is a handy tool for Gmail users who browse in Firefox or Chrome. After downloading, run it to get a list of any LinkedIn profiles, Twitter handles, Skype accounts, and more, that have been created with the emails addresses in your contacts. Then, use Rapportive to build your network by sending personalized LinkedIn invites directly from your inbox.LinkedIn Connection RevealerSometimes it can be tough to spot influencers on LinkedIn. Their audience could be anywhere from 501 to 501,000, and their profile will still display “500+ connections.” So how do you spot well-connected power users? With LinkedIn Connection Revealer. This tool will tell you exactly how big of a network all your first level connections have. From there, engage with users who travel in big circles, and try to leverage their platform to promote your product or service.HeadlinrWithout a great headline, your post, sponsored story, ad, etc., won’t get clicked. That means no traffic to your landing page. Headlinr, a paid plugin for the Google Chrome browser, will automatically generate hundreds of popular headline combinations that contain keywords you specify. If your post is about video marketing trends, type in “video marketing trends” to get compelling titles that will compel people to click through.LinMailProThis Chrome extension allows you to automatically find and invite every person who has recently viewed your profile — which will make implementing tip number one a whole lot easier. With it, you can send a personalized message to those who have looked at your profile, and even tag them to sort your new connections into a list of potential customers you can deliver marketing messages to.LinkedIn is a great tool for lead generation on its own, and it becomes even more powerful when you integrate complementary add-ons.
