(Newswire.net — December 29, 2013) Melbourne, VIC —
LinkedIn® has grown to more than 250 million registered members globally and is certainly the largest professional networking service. For 2014 it will be even more important to use LinkedIn® in the right way to utilise the power of this huge network.
There are a few major social media and networking services in the world with hundreds of millions of members. Facebook, Google, Twitter and LinkedIn® are some of the best known and largest platforms. And then there are countless other platforms – some of them for very niched purposes or target groups.
For employees and businesses around the world LinkedIn® has become the place to go and be. According to the website of LinkedIn Corporation there were more than 259 million registered members on the 3rd of December 2013. The largest country was clearly the United States of America with more than 84 million registered members – that is more than 25% of the population. Also Australia passed the 25% mark with more than five million members. Interestingly India has more than 22 million members which is another impressive number. Compared to the population in India of 1.2 billion people it seems LinkedIn® has significant growth potential in India and in other countries too. What those numbers say is that the relevance of LinkedIn Corporation will further grow as a professional network.
So why should you be a member? According to Michael Alf, Director totalu Pty Ltd., there are many reasons to be a member. If you are looking for or you might be looking for a job in the future, if you have a business and want to recruit top talent, if you want to connect with your customers and prospects in a professional way, if you want to have interesting discussions in your field of expertise, then LinkedIn is the place to be. Those are only a few examples how to utilise LinkedIn®.
It is also possible to post updates but contrary to Facebook it is generally expected to only post professional updates. Imagine you go to work or you attend a business function – what would you tell other people or share with people who you don’t know yet?
Therefore a professional LinkedIn® profile is a must-have in today’s business world. And if you need help you can ask a professional writer to convert your business life into meaningful words – very similar to using a professional photographer.
Alf continues to say, the relevance of LinkedIn® will further grow in 2014 and if you want to be prepared to get the most out of using LinkedIn® look for additional advice here.
