Create a LinkedIn Business Page Today

When it comes to the Internet, one of a business owner's primary responsibilities is to make it as easy as possible for potential customers and clients to find the business.  An earlier post described the process for creating a Facebook fan page.  This time, we're going through the steps to quickly create a LinkedIn page for your business or organization.

Step 1:  Login to your account.  (If you don't have an account, shame on you.  Everyone in a job outside the home, who owns a business, or who attends a college or university should have a LinkedIn account. Period. Create one now.)

Step 2:  Click on "More" at the top and scroll down to "Companies".

Step 3:  Click on "Add Company" located in the top right corner.

Step 4:  Follow the steps LinkedIn guides you through, including basic information, web link, loading a small logo, blog feed, location, and financial information. For material, cut and past information from your website, capabilities statement, and brochure.
