How Linked In Answers Can Increase Your Network

Happy New Year!

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday season. I spent the holidays in England with family and, while we usually go there to get away from the snow, this year we ended up snowed in. Oh well, I suppose it was a change from the rain.

I mentioned a while ago that I planned to get more involved in groups as a way to make social media connections. I have certainly found some great groups and have started to build a wider network by participating in the discussions.

Linked In Answers has been a great find. It's located under 'More' in the main title bar and you can go there to ask any kind of business related question and look for answers from experts everywhere. But, better than than, it gives you the opportunity to answer questions and demonstrate your expertise to a network of people you wouldn't otherwise have any access to. I've received replies and thanks from people on several occasions.

If you're active enough, you can even be featured as a Top Expert. So, if you're using Linked In, make sure you take a look and consider participating.

Here's to a successful and profitable year in 2011.
