The Next Big Thing in Business Networking is Here, and it is LinkedIn

LinkedIn is the next big thing for small business owners, and the time to be on board is now.

B2B Social Media Strategy- LinkedInSince 2002, LinkedIn has been the place for social networking for professionals. LinkedIn has more than 200 million registered users in more than 200 countries.

LinkedIn is more popular than Facebook for social networking, says Performics, which recently sponsored a study of nearly 3,000 people who actively use the Web for social networking, as reported on CBS MoneyWatch. Some 59 percent of those who use social networking sites – like Facebook – say that their most important social networking account is their LinkedIn account.

Do you have the vague but nagging notion that you should be on LinkedIn to help grow your business and spread the word about the good work you do?
