Linked in : it’s more than just your online CV

This session will be an Introduction to LinkedIn, explaining it by comparison to its face to face networking equivalent. We’ll look at what’s most important about LinkedIn that sets it apart from other social networking tools. Just because LinkedIn is more obviously business focused than Twitter or Facebook it doesn’t necessarily mean that your profile should be as dry and boring as everyone else’s. I’ll show you some ways to let your personality come out, and still look professional.

About the speaker

Sheree Lowe is a VA. As well as growing her own business through social media, she realised that she could help other business’s get to where they wanted by teaching them and guiding them through the Social Media maze

“I help people use social media to talk to their customers, build relationships, provide better customer service – and to convey online what people love about you in real life. I will never ever ever ever EVER encourage automation of your social media (except in one instance!) It’s like hosting a party and leaving a voice recording at the front door to greet your guests. It’s far too important to be left to a machine
