Do you initiate, react or stay silent?

Since the inception of LinkedIn in May 2003 we have seen a spin off industry of experts who teach LinkedIn classes. Are you new to LinkedIn? Do you want to learn advanced techniques on LinkedIn? There's something for everyone who has a craving to understand this social media network.

LinkedIn has surpassed 100 million members and continues to grow. The percentage of users who initiate or react to content is much smaller. I call this "eliminating the social" from social media.

As a branding advocate I emphasize proactive behavior. I can post a profile on LinkedIn and hope that the masses find me...but that is not likely. How do we teach people to initiate and promote versus having a passive approach?

In Remarkable Personal Branding we focus on initiating and promoting. The LinkedIn world is waiting to hear from you...and your pursuits will be aided by your connections if you give them the chance to help you. When you determine your passions, unique attributes and personal mission you will be able to proclaim what it is that you want to be known for. You will have laid the foundation for a proactive mindset.

What is keeping you silent on social media? Let us help you break down the barriers and develop a remarkable brand!
