LinkedIn is a powerful place to build your personal brand.

LinkedIn is the only social network dedicated strictly to business interactions. Clearly, if you don’t do a good job of branding yourself there you are missing the opportunity to not only put your best foot forward but also show your expertise to the very people you need to be noticed by. Viveka Von Rosen is on #SellingWithSocial to tell us why a well-crafted personal brand is especially powerful on LinkedIn and how you can begin taking the steps to ensure that you aren’t missing out on the leads, sales, and opportunities LinkedIn can provide to you and your company.

A common question: Do you build the company’s brand or your personal brand on LinkedIn?

It can be a bit confusing to determine if it’s more advantageous to build your personal brand on LinkedIn or to spend your time focusing on the company’s brand (because you’re an employee). The LinkedIn Expert, Viveka VonRosen says you need to do both. When you build your personal brand using LinkedIn you are positioning yourself as one of the company’s main assets – an expert in your particular area of focus. That builds a reputation for you AS an expert and respect for the company at the same time (after all, they were smart enough to hire you). Viveka has lots of tips for how you can build both brands at the same time so make sure you listen to this episode.
