While some of you might think of Linkedin and all these other tools as pure drudgery, I challenge you to think of them as tools for changing the world.

Tackling social media really works best if you take it one step at a time. In the case of Linkedin, it’s never too late to register yourself on Linkedin – in fact, it’s one of the most powerful ways you can build and increase your reach across the Web.

Authors, artists, entrepreneurs, musicians and leading business people are all on Linkedin. (It also saves you a lot of cold pancake networking breakfasts!)

I like Barack Obama’s Summary:  The administration can’t only be about me. It must be about us – it must be about what we can do together. It is about reclaiming the meaning of citizenship, restoring our sense of common purpose, and realizing that few obstacles can withstand the power of millions of voices calling for change.

Baby boomers are one of the fastest growing users of Linkedin and every Fortune 500 company has a presence on this platform.

What are you waiting for?

Not only will Linkedin increase your online visibility, but using it regularly will help you find new client engagements, connect with past partners and peers and empower your current business connections to new levels.

While it might seem daunting at first, it gets easier as you go along. The folks at Linkedin are constantly adding new functionality to the platform so there’s always something new to learn as well.

Here are 3 Tips To Rock Your Linkedin Profile to a new level:

1. Make certain you have customized your URL for your public profile. Not only does this help in terms of Google search but it also helps in search on Linkedin itself.

2. Change your status at least three times weekly. This is easy to do, takes about five minutes per update and every time you update your stats your updates also appear in the Linkedin email summaries to your groups and followers.

3. Use the Events tool on Linkedin – this helps you spread the word about your events and also gives your connections a way to attend them! Booksignings, business conferences, workshops – put them all up there!
