4 Easy Ways To Refresh Your Social Media On A Holiday

1. Join a LinkedIn Group

You probably have a LinkedIn profile, and some established connections. But have you checked in lately?

Yes, LinkedIn is now public, and talk of their IPO is still fresh. But you may not be aware that aside from being a great place to keep your resume updated, LinkedIn is also a terrific online portal to gain credibility as a professional in your field.

The average salary of professionals on LinkedIn is about $109,000 per year. So your chances of connecting and collaborating with people that could make a difference to your future are high. LinkedIn Groups are full of people already interacting!

Here's the LinkedIn Groups Directory. There, you'll see some popular suggested professional groups. But you can also do a search for other groups by profession, area of interest, and you can even create a group if you don't find one you like!

Steps to take:

Ask questions.
Answer questions.
Share information.
Network!

2. Read: "The 11 Defining Social Media And Technology Trends In 2011"

3. Sign up for an informational webinar

Every week professionals in all niches of social media and Internet marketing are sharing their knowledge through webinars. Many good sessions out there -- The twitter stream is a great source to begin a search.

Not sure how the resource will stack up? Feel free to tweet me, and I'll give you what insight I can on the presenter or group host.

@twitter-45938040:disqus Thanks for stopping by! Taking even 5 minutes on a holiday seems to keep me on-track. Yes – there are always tweetchats…a few you made me aware of have been quite valuable for networking and staying informed: #SMmanners. #GetRealChat. There aren’t enough hours in the day to make it to all of them! Have a terrific week yourself! Aloha, ~Keri

Great post Keri! I really need to work some LinkedIn groups much more. Thanks for the tip about: The 11 Defining Social Media And Technlogy Trends In 2011 Triberr could have a great potential if it is wisely used. You need to build a core Tribe and everyone needs to share the same purpose. But I have experienced a lot of problems with the stream. Keep in touch!

  Mattias, From what I am hearing, most people could engage a bit more on LinkedIn. Me too, I think. 🙂 Isn’t that article a sensational set of information!! Triberr – I think it is a terrific platform. I spent a good amount of time last week working with Dino & Dan on technicalities. There is a lot going on behind the scenes, and their goal is pure quality. They are on their way. As with anything, in the initial stages, some adjustments will be needed. I hear you have an awesome tribe chief, so what are you worried about??? hahaha 😉 ~Keri

Keri, this is a fabulous tip, and I’ve already sent email to Triberr. However, when I try to use your tween button, my post gets eaten so that I can’t post on Twitter. Thanks.
