LinkedIn can be a great way to promote your home business. Here are a few reasons why:
- LinkedIn is a network with 65 million business professionals around the world.
- The average LinkedIn member has an average annual household income of $109,000.
- One person creates a LinkedIn login every second.
- Nearly 50% of LinkedIn members have decision-making authority for their companies.
It's easy to see why LinkedIn is considered the world's largest audience of influential, affluent professionals in one place. Like other forms of Internet marketing, marketing a small or home business on LinkedIn is relatively inexpensive and provides a lot of bang for the buck. If that's the market you are trying to reach, you need to get in the game.

Wow – this is some great info! I am listed on Linked in but I never really understood how it worked and how to use it to promote my business. Many thanks for the info!!!!

I get what you’re saying. When you love what you do and it’s your source of income, the tendency is to never stop. Although I work 7 days a week, I try to leave my office every day before 5 (during the week) and only work as long as I have to on weekends. My wife and I still manage to have great times nearly every weekend, and I get a chance to get caught up on what I couldn’t do during the busy week. When I need to get something done around the house or want to go somewhere, I just plan ahead to take one or both weekend days off that week.
It works well for both of us.

I am glad to have come across this very helpful article on LinkedIn as it will help me get deeper into it. Now that I have the information, what I need is time to do all that needs to be done. It is a matter of juggling all the chores but should I not process the emails to do this?

Thanks for your comment. Yes, social marketing is free – except for the time, which can be significant. Still, it’s an inexpensive way to reach all the way around the world for in effect, peanuts. As a new acquaintance mentioned to me the other day, “Maybe this is the start of a new Renaissance”.
