It is social media website like any other social media website such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. Unlike Facebook, it is mainly used by working-class professionals. The site officially launched on May 5, 2003, in August 2004. It reaches first a million subscribers. It was only in March 2006 that it became profitable in February 2008. LinkedIn made it possible to access its platform on mobile phones in the beginning of 2011. It opened its doors for an IPO. Microsoft took over it in end of 2016, and it was the most costly acquisition. Since then, it has had over 600 million members worldwide. Now, you may ask then what LinkedIn marketing is. The marketing of the brand, the solution you provide, and generating sales via LinkedIn can be defined as LinkedIn Marketing.

Why LinkedIn Marketing is essential:

It is rapid emerging social media website. It has more than six crores of users globally, and more than three crores are active users, which reflects enormous potential. Moreover, it's the first kind of social media channel generally used by working professionals. All the multi-national corporations (MNCs) and Small, Medium Enterprises (SMEs) use it for their HR purposes. They also use it for updating audiences about their company's growth, events, etc. Another vital thing about LinkedIn is, it has digitalized all the references, recommendations, hiring, promotions. Let me term it in simple words. In earlier days if somebody wants a job in a specific company for a particular post, then they have to find out the reference or recommendations, information about the vacancies. The aspirant candidates have to go through the arduous process for implementing/her desire to do a job in a specific company. But after introducing LinkedIn, it has made it all on the digitalized form. So anybody can directly contact the HR department for a particular company. It creates a comfortable position for the company and aspirant. It has provided that excellent platform. Secondly, it has provided a connection building facility. It gives an immense opportunity to job seekers and business owners. You can create your LinkedIn account and create your resume. Then grow your account with your skill and show the HR personnel your enthusiasm. You can give your detailed brief in your accounts 'about' section. Then create connection building with your industry-related personnel. You should explore your experience in its 'Experience' section. It will give some further information about you. It is effortless to get a job or business lead because you need not go to multiple areas to find a job or business lead. All this is possible because of LinkedIn. It is crucial from an education and career point of view. If you want to learn something, then you use a search engine. The research publishes articles about specific subjects that will display over here while using a search engine. So that is why this platform is crucial for both job seekers and business owners.

How to create a compelling LinkedIn profile :

After having a clear understanding of what LinkedIn is and why marketing on this network is so essential, the next question is how to create a compelling and optimized profile and, more importantly, how to connect with the people through LinkedIn?
There are several sets of fundamentals for the effective profile. It is not like creating a profile on Facebook or Instagram where you think and start using it without any conscious thought process. But when it comes to LinkedIn profile is quite different from other social media profile creation. You need to take care of specific parameters while creating a LinkedIn profile. Let me explain it step by step. Let me tell you this with assuming that you are entrepreneur and want to create a well-optimized profile on it. So, first of all, you need to choose a suitable background profile picture that indicates your business. You can use your photographs, or if you have your business logo, it would be great. But make sure that your photo should be professional. Your funny picture-like selfie is not preferable to use because you should look completely professional. Then in the headline section, use your industry best keyword along with your professional post. For instance, I am a digital marketing consultant by profession, so I have mentioned Poonam Shailesh, Digital Marketing Consultant in my profile. I have mentioned services which I am providing. It will give your profile a higher ranking while searching about your industry. Then say your current position in your business. As I have mentioned as Founder and CEO of Ace Digital Care. It will all reflect below your profile picture. So viewers can easily understand your business and which industry you are dealing with. Add your educational details along with University or college because someone from the same University will easily interact with you. Create your customized URL. It allows changing our URL. For instance, I have used www.linkedin.com/poonamshailesh. It would help if you created your customized URL; otherwise, LinkedIn will give by default URL, which will not make a good impact when you share your profile with someone. The most crucial factor which will boost your profile and increase visibility is your 'About' section. Be very cautious while describing yourself. Because it is the main description where visitors can learn about your business and yourself. You have to mention all your details and, more importantly, your professional information. From when you start your business, how many happy customers you dealt with, what is your objective, what type of industry you are serving at present, what is your current area of interest all this which engage the visitors. Make sure to mention yourself in bullet points. If you write it in paragraph form, nobody will attract to read all the contents of 'About .'Then you should add your experience in its specific section. It will give a brief about your level of expertise. It also matters a lot as far as the business lead is concerned. If you possess some specific skill, mention it in the 'skill' section. So these are some fundamentals that you need to take care of while creating the LinkedIn Profile. The next step about connection building. Three types of connection exist in it. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. The first connection is those who are already in your connection. 2nd is those not in your first connection, but they are the first connection for your first connected persons. And third is neither in your connection nor in the connection of your first connection. If you want to generate a lead for your business, you have to use it as a search engine, find out about your industry, and then approach them by sending a connection request. Once you accept your connection request, you have to build some rapport with them for a certain period and inform them about your business via content creation. Remember, if you are creating content for Facebook or Instagram, it may not be helpful for it. So while creating content for it, you need to be very careful. After building a report then, you can approach them for business. As per my experience, if your profile is well optimized and your content is good, you need not approach business. The business lead is automatically generated. A business owner will approach you. So I recommend you work on your excellent profile and content. So this is the simple fundamental to creating business through LinkedIn marketing.

Types of LinkedIn Marketing

Like all other social media platform that provides marketing facilities, LinkedIn also has a similar system. It also adopts two types of marketing system: organic, and the second one is inorganic. Similar to rest of social Medias, LinkedIn too, provide paid advertisement facility. You can do paid marketing on it.
