If you want access to a network that includes thousands and thousands of professionals and the ability to contact thousands of potential employees then all you need is to be on LinkedIn. You may have already have a professional network and made contacts in your industry using it, but you could still be missing out on hundreds of opportunities.

Follow these tips to getting the most out of LinkedIn for your businesses:

1. Firstly, and this is really easy, link your Twitter and LinkedIn up-dates so that your up-dates appear automatically on Twitter (you can also link Facebook). This gives you more exposure with no effort.

2. Share your blog on your profile to get people interested and aware of what you are up to.
