How to Get More Leads With LinkedIn By Using My Simple Learn, Lurk and Link Strategy
When you take control of your social media interactions on LinkedIn you will build, develop and have command over your own community.
For example, when Article Marketing Expert Eric Gruber and I created and launched our Instant LinkedIn Marketing Templates we:
1. Reached out to our LinkedIn Group members. Eric has over 800 people in his group alone, which is a target rich environment for us to get more sales.
2. We created articles that demonstrated ways LinkedIn should be used to generate more profits for you. We created articles that showed top mistakes people are making on their LinkedIn profiles. At the end of all these articles we added a call to action to grab our Instant LinkedIn Marketing Templates.
3. We used a simple learn, lurk and link strategy to capture other prospects that belong to other groups. Some of these groups have more than 25,000 members. I cannot tell you how many times we saw an order that had "LinkedIn Group" as the answer to: "Where did you hear about us?"
Here's My Simple Learn, Lurk & Link Strategy Explained in Detail
1. Learn - Before you can create content that your LinkedIn prospects can connect to you must uncover what challenges they are facing, the latest thinking, mistakes that are being made and what questions are being left unanswered. The best way to achieve this is to be where your prospects are. That means you should join the LinkedIn groups your prospects belong to. Then move onto the next step.
2. Lurk - Go to the group and view the discussions. Look what kinds of questions are being asked within the group. See what kind of content is being created and distributed. Check out the different debates that occurring, this way you can see other points of views. This is one of the best ways to see the latest thinking and philosophies. Then find out how you can add value to the conversations by revealing information that has not been said before. Offer a new twist or insight on a popular topic. This will make people want to listen to what you have to say and learn more about what you have to offer.
3. Link - The final step is linking to these prospects. Invite people to connect that have commented on your articles, posts or previous comments. Reach out to prospects by asking them questions and inviting them to join the conversation. The point of this is to get people to like what you have to say so they will view your website, buy your products, use your services, ask for your advice and so on. When you can show that you are an expert in your field others will listen.
Now try my learn, lurk and link strategies with your LinkedIn marketing and see if you can get results like Help My Website Founder Adam Hommey who received 150 new subscribers, four new coaching clients, $6,259 in immediate profits and two media interviews! After receiving these results here is what Adam had to say:
"Leveraging the full power of LinkedIn® has been the secret ingredient that has taken me further during the last couple of months toward achieving "authority" status as a website conversions expert than I moved in three years PRIOR."

Barbara Stanny, 2002
Jacket:
Maybe you've noticed - a subtle trend is gathering steam. Quietly and steadily, the number of women making six figures or more is increasing, and it continues to rise at a rate faster than for men. From entrepreneurs to corporate executives, from white collar executives to free lancers and part timers, women are forging careers with considerable financial success.
Through extensive research and hundreds of interviews, including dialogs with more than 150 high earners whose annual incomes range from $100,000 to 7 million, Stanny discovered that ...they all had certain traits in common:
1) a profit motive
2) Audacity
3) REslience
4) Encouragement
5) Self-awareness
6) Non-attachment
7) Financial knowhow
She amplifies on these in the book itself.

- Hi Evan,
I saw this on a psychology site
[quote:3ojxqt77]We teach people how to treat us.
Strategy: Own, rather than complain about, how people treat you. Learn to renegotiate your relationships to have what you want.
You either teach people to treat you with dignity and respect, or you don't. This means you are partly responsible for the mistreatment that you get at the hands of someone else. You shape others' behavior when you teach them what they can get away with and what they cannot.[/quote:3ojxqt77]

Re: On Which Social Media Sites Are You Most Active?
- I'd be curious to hear how you guys use LinkedIn. I have close to 3,000 connections and never use it.
I've been told the secret is to use groups (which I don't) so I'd love to hear how you guys are benefiting from LinkedIn.

- [quote:372g7ueu]2) Trent: could you explain more about building solid backlinks? What constitutes as solid? Do you go to relevant articles and try to set up a link to your content that relates to that topic?[/quote:372g7ueu]
Article marketing
Guest blogging
Blog commenting
Link exchanges
Directories
Forums
Link wheels
Social bookmarking
Link bait
Quality content
Also, you want your links to be keyword anchored if at all possible. Links from sites relevant to yours are better too.

I've had a lot more success (thus far) with Twitter than LinkedIn or Facebook.
