Whether you’re promoting your workshops, seminars or other real or virtual events organized by you or your business, using Linkedin Events feature is a great way to maximize your results. By using the Events app in Linkedin, you can drive traffic to your events and get more people to sign up.
Generally speaking, if you’re an expert in your field, hosting your own seminars and workshops is a great way to multiply your marketing efforts. You can host free tele-seminars where people call in to listen in to your presentation, or an interview. Tele-seminars are great lead generators. The same applies to webinars, which are a bit complicated to set up, but provide you with added features and benefits. Both of these free events are great ways to create information products.
Before you can create events on Linkedin, you must log in to Linkedin and add the Linkedin Events application, found in the Linkedin Application Directory. Follow the simple instructions and make sure you select the option to Display on my profile which will show the Events on your profile. Then you’ll be ready to create your first Linkedin Events page!
Once you’ve created the Linkedin Events page, it’s time to promote it to your Linkedin connections. In this video you can learn how you can share the link to the Events page via Facebook and Twitter. Also, there are three ways to tell your Linkedin connections about this new Events page. However, I recommend using the Create Message in your Linkedin inbox to create and send a marketing message to your connections.
Remember, you can only send a message to up to 50 recipients at a time, so if you want to send it to 500 connections you will have to (re)create and send at least 10 separate messages. For this purpose I recommend creating a separate text document with your subject line and the message content, and then using that document as a template for your Linkedin messages.
I hope you’ll enjoy the video and if you have questions please leave a comment here.

Linkedin is one of the most important online networking sites for professionals, with 140 million members worldwide. If you’re not a member yet, please check out my Linkedin profile and join today.
I’ve been actively using this networking site for 4 years now. Today I can safely say that my business would be significantly different without it, as I use Linkedin to generate about 20% of my business income. Most of that income is new business coming from new clients.
Although Linkedin can be used for job search, or simply to join alumni networks and groups, I will share some of my tips and strategies on how to use Linkedin to boost your own small business, especially if you’re a self-employed service professional.
Part of my business at the iBizAcademy is teaching and coaching and as many who have attended my live workshops and seminars testify, I teach social networking in plain English, so that even technophobes can apply the new skills immediately.
How To Use Linkedin Polls to Help You Make Better Business Decisions
There are many ways to use Linkedin to grow your client base, but today I will focus on one, lesser-known “application” called Linkedin Polls.
As I always do in my workshops, I will use a real-life example of how I used Linkedin Polls to leverage the collective wisdom and experience business professionals to help me make my own business decisions.
When I started hosting my live training seminars, I thought that weekdays would probably work best, and I picked the 10am-1pm time slot. I figured by 10am people can finish their morning chores, such as driving kids to school, and be ready for business. However, when I started promoting my seminars, occasionally I’d get a reply from someone who is interested in attending but the time didn’t work for them, so they asked if I did any evening classes.
Well, this got me thinking that perhaps my own preferences may not be the same as other peoples’. So how can you figure out what other people think? Ask them! I used the Linkedin Poll application and asked them one simple question: If you have 3 hours to invest in a training seminar to help you boost your business, WHEN would you be most likely to attend? I then sent the link to this poll to my connections and received 58 responses (20% of my connections responded). I was relieved to learn that 48% of respondents did in fact prefer the weekday 10am-1pm time!
So next time you need to make a business decision tap into the collective wisdom of Linkedin members.
