of your blogs or websites is or who social influencers in your area of
expertise are. Also, checks out the authors who contribute to online

3. ‘’Play’’ with Twitter
Keyword Searches
Twitter can be either a place with great
source of information or the noisiest places on the web. The great way to find
people, filter tweet and join a conversation is to search for keywords related
to the topics in which you are interested. It sounds simple but it may require
some trial and error to see which keywords get the results you want. For
example, you may consider between ‘’tech life’’ or ‘’digital marketing’’. Play
around with different words and joint a conversation when you find something
interest. Response to people’s tweet and give your feedback or comments,
whether you agree or disagree with some discussion.
4. Join Relevant
LinkedIn Groups
LinkedIn groups are
great forum for career-related discussions for sharing articles, asking
questions and starting online conversation with each other. Do not just do a
quick search group on LinkedIn and get into any group you might think it is
your field. Try to take a look around at the discussions and members at open
group (or invite-only) to get a
feel of the content and makeup of the group to see whether it is a good fit for
your goals and what you interest.
5. Make sure you know
who are ‘’stalking’’ your profile.
Although you have not upgrade your
LinkedIn account, once your settings allow others to see who you are when you
look at their profiles you also should do the same, go and find out who is
looking at yours. Scan this once a week and take a glance at who has viewed
your profile. When you think it may be an appropriate time, connect with these
people; thinking about the reason they might have taken time to look at your
profile. Are they in your field or community? Have they had same interest? Or
even a recruiter? Take your own time to engage in conversation not only show
you are paying attention and care about these people but also showing that you
are open to build up new professional relationships.
Surely will take advices from u, Linda!
ReplyDeleteI used to think that knowing who usually visit my sites is more than enough but forget that I may need to interact more with them by start off conversation first.
And yeah I always ''play'' with the keyword searches and I bring up to me more than interesting results that I expected.
