Keep notes on your LinkedIn contacts - here's why they will be useful later...

Wherever possible, keep separate notes off LinkedIn on people you've connected with in the past who you feel might/could be potential clients eventually. But diarise those notes to periodically revisit their profile and engage with them through LinkedIn.
You'll often be surprised how this can produce business. I just said "Hello, how are you?" to one such person who connected with me on LinkedIn after a presentation I gave five years ago. He immediately booked me to speak at an event of his own next month.

A new way to say 'thank you' and show your appreciation on LinkedIn...

The only way to do it now is to visit each relevant group individually and paste it in… (yawn). Even then, there is a text limit, so copy in the first paragraph of your article and link to the article. LinkedIn are currently revamping groups, with big changes promised over the coming months. Mind you, they’ve been saying that for the last year, and an update this week said exactly the same thing. They are clearly working on groups, because other functionality within them has also been removed. I think it’s a case of ‘watch this space’… If you want to keep right up to date on all things LinkedIn, you should join our private group ‘ LinkedIn Secrets ’ on Facebook. Click here…
