That’s what LinkedIn is for! Network, network, network. By expanding your connections, you’re also expanding your potential for new connections, and therefore increasing your visibility. How can you do this? Don’t be afraid to connect to former co-workers, employers, and even former clients. Then, ask them to endorse your company or personal profile. The more credibility you have the better, and again, it’ll be easier to cast a larger networking net.

Don’t just join a group – be active! Participate in discussions and comment on links. This all comes back to making new connections and specific groups will draw the attention of specific people. It’s the optimum place to gain attention to your page from exactly the right people.
