ABOUT THIS EPISODE
“I like to think of LinkedIn as an online networking event.”
- Dee Boswell-Buck
In a world where you have so many social media platforms to choose from, LinkedIn is often ignored when it comes to marketing — but using it effectively can have powerful results for your business! The platform is much more than a job search tool. It’s a great way to connect with other businesses in order to find new customers, build new partnerships, discover new vendors, and so much more.
In fact, LinkedIn’s algorithms actually helped me pivot into an unexpected new career!
