While branding your LinkedIn page, it is crucial that you do everything you can to attract more viewers. This is especially true if you are looking for a job or potential business partners or clients.

I have a few tips I think can help you with your online networking goals.

Now that I’ve successfully redesigned the site (How you like my CSS skills??), it’s time to get back to the basics, and that includes creating juicy content. As always, if you have any suggestions or comments on the blog, hit me up!

I love infographics, especially those having to do with social networks. A few weeks ago, I posted the Facebook Facts & Figures infographic made by the Website Monitoring Blog.

Well, the good people from the blog recently emailed me about a new infographic they have just created regarding Twitter Facts & Figures.

Let me know what you think about the enormous beast that is Twitter.

Because the image is so big, I’ve posted it after the break. Enjoy.

I’ve been extremely busy lately, which is why I haven’t been able to write up any blog posts, but here’s a video I think you’ll like. If you’re not familiar with Twitter search and how it can help your brand management , watch this video.

You can use Twitter search to follow keywords that have to do with your business or brand. This will help you find new and interesting people you can follow, as well as give you a forum to answer any questions or inform people about your brand or product.

I’m going to cover the importance of Twitter search (and related tools!) more in-depth later on, but this should be a good starting point. Look for more posts in the coming week!

Here’s an interesting infographic I found about Facebook. It has many historical facts and figures and covers a lot of information. When looking at it, one thing stood out to me: Facebook is big.

When you grasp just how big Facebook really is, you’ll realize that you have to build a presence on that network. Facebook can help you take a major step in making your brand more social.

Image credit goes to the Website Monitoring Blog for compiling all of this great information.

Last week I posted a video of Gary Vaynerchuk talking about branding. In it, Gary said “You need to build brand equity. When you have brand equity anything can happen.” He went on to talk about some of the things that people ask him, like “Which tools should I use?” Gary said, “All of them. Your user base—and the people that care about you—you need to connect to them anyway you can, everywhere you can, as often as you can. That is essential.”

I couldn’t agree more with that statement. It is imperative that you use all the tools available to you. Why? Because your users are using them. The people you are trying to reach out to are in these social communities and more and more of them are popping up every day.

It is important that your users can find you on any network they use. Creating a social brand means having a presence in every community. It means making yourself available for interaction with your user base.

I occasionally write posts on various tools you can use to leverage social media, but in today’s article, I’m going to show you how to find all of the tools you can use to reach out to your community—the tools to find the tools, so to speak. Once you find them, you can begin development using the 4 C’s.
