How Much Time Do you need to spend on Linkedin per day?
Many business professionals are asking. How much time do I need to allocate to Linkedin to see some results for my business or company? Really what people are asking for are some solid “measurables” to see the results of their efforts.
Here is the short answer, I spend between 1 to 2 hours per day utilizing Linkedin.
Here is the longer answer, between responding to invites, posting questions, answering questions on groups and the Q/A board, along with managing my groups I spend between 1 and 2 hours per day on Linkedin. I take the time to respond to every single invite I receive, but I have an easy system to do this. See my article on “Why you should NOT accept multiple invitations as once”, I explain in detail how to respond to every single invite, its easy. Next, I try to participate as much as possible in the groups I have joined. Now I haven’t joined just any group, I have been target specific on which ones I join. Next, I answer questions on Linkedin. The reasons I spend time doing this are too many to list in this article. You can see some of my other post to learn more.
The Measurables: All of this time spent drives thousands of targeted visitors to my website every week. Notice I said targeted? Next I receive numerous inquiries every week specific to my business as a result of my efforts. Then I would be remiss not to mention the solid contacts I have found via Linkedin when doing Business Development targeting fortune 500 companies.
What would be your measureables? Well you would have to decide, but I would suggest to monitor increased web traffic, increased leads, and watch or note how well your brand advocacy is going on Linkedin.
I recently finished an eBook called “Fast Start Guide to Linkedin Success” in which I explain in detail the path to Success on Linkedin.
Here is a solid slide presentation that shows the kind of exposure and target audience you can achieve through Linkedin.
