I hear it all the time, “I’ve got a LinkedIn account but what’s the value in connecting with people I already know?” There’s actually a lot more you can do with LinkedIn; they just don’t make it easy to find.

In this Social Networking for Busy People class we answer questions like:

• I’m on LinkedIn. Now what?
• I keep getting requests to connect. What are they and what should I do with them?
• How do I set up my profile?
• How can I use LinkedIn in my job search?
• How can I use LinkedIn to find employees or subcontractors?

We also show you how to use some of the lesser known features such as how to:

• Use LinkedIn Groups to connect with new people
• Use LinkedIn Recommendations to collect testimonials
• Use LinkedIn Questions – for market research and building relationships

You may think you don’t need Twitter but wouldn’t you like to…

• Know what’s being said about your company, industry and competition online
• Follow trending topics your target markets care about and are talking about
• Build your mailing list
• Increase your blog readership

Yes! Twitter can do all of that!

In Twitter for Busy Professionals, we answer questions like…

How do I find people to follow? How do people find me?

There is a debate in the Twitter-verse that boils down to “Quantity vs. Quality.” In Twitter for Busy Professionals we’ll show you how to find a balance between the two. You’ll learn how to find people you want to hear from and how to get followers who want to hear from you.

How do I manage it?

Once you follow more than a handful of people, managing the flood of information can be like trying to drink water from a fire hose. There are over 60 apps, widgets and plug ins designed to help you manage that flood. Even if you’re already using Twitter, you’ll get a lot out of Twitter for Busy Professionals because we show you some of the most useful ones so you can work social networking into your already busy schedule.

Who’s using it effectively?

In Twitter for Busy Professionals we’ll discuss a variety of companies both large and small that have used Twitter to build their client base, find out what their customers want from them and get in front of potential problems.

What do I need to watch out for?

Social networking is expanding the rules of human interaction and has an etiquette all it’s own. We’ll discuss the pitfalls to avoid, how create a positive impression and how to manage negative feedback.
