Oh, social media, how we love/hate you. You keep us connected but you are always up in our business…. and you take sooooo much time! My status these days should read “updating another social media site” amIright?

Okay, look, the rad business owners I get to work with every day are busy people. Hell, I work with them so count me in the “busy people” category! They own businesses, have families, enjoy hobbies, and even take time for themselves every now and again. So why do I recommend yet another social media site to them when I hear they don’t have a LinkedIn profile?

Because it works.

And because (according to the Google Analytics of the people that DO have it) LinkedIn is consistently one of the top 5 referring sites to their websites. (which equals $$$, btw)

Also, when done correctly, a solid LinkedIn profile makes you look legit on searches (I know you ARE legit so let’s start looking it, k?)

I’m not talking about spending half of your day on this business powered site. I’m talking a little profile updating, some keyword optimization, and connecting with like-minded peeps in a business setting (unlike Facebook which is often much more social) can really pay off.

Still don’t think you need to mess with LinkedIn? That’s cool. I actually have a list of reasons you DON’T need it. If you can check off any of these, please let me know and then delete this email.

1. You don’t own a computer and never use the internet
2. Your business has nothing to do with other people, at all
3. You can honestly say that every moment of time you spend on Twitter and Facebook is productive (absolutely no scrolling aimlessly or reading Buzzfeed articles for you)
4. You don’t own a business and really like working for other people, but you never want another job besides the one you have now….for the rest of your life
5. You aren’t interested in growing your business or making more money

Still with me? Okay.
