Hi Joe -- I share blog posts there but not much beyond that.  I have had people tell me they have "seen" me there.  It's likely an opportunity that I could better utilize but time is limited.

Really?  Whatever I post here I post to Linkedin.  I have over 1,000 followers and to my knowledge not one customer.

Interesting Joe, I am on Linkedin, a lot of connections but never received any business from there that I am aware of.  Wondering if I am doing something "wrong" or not doing something right?

I do use LI and I like it.  I connect w/ past customers and networking buddies.  I have gotten some leads from there, but not a ton.  The main purpose there (for me) is top of mind awareness.  And, it is challenging to separate out what's from there vs. combo of efforts.  But, I do get many past customers telling me they see my updates.

I have many connections ... post blogs and add info/articles too.  I don't know that LinkedIn is the direct cause for any leads.  Do I think it contributes by increasing "awareness" (as Debbie Gartner mentions), provides another outlet for communication, and increases my "credibility" amongst other businesspersons?  Definitely.

Like others, I have not gotten anything from my use of it. Perhaps you could write a blog instructing some of us how to be more productive on Linkedin?

I have just dabbled on it, still trying to decide where to focus my social networking time. How do you use it Joe, that you get good results?

The Agent you choose REALLY does make a difference

I may be in the camp of not using correcctly as I have not seen trackable results. It is very hard to say where business comes from directly - often it is the combination of sources that brings awareness and with it business.

If done correctly it can be a great source for real estate leads, when I was the one actively using it I spen about 4 hours a week using it. Much like anything you use to get leads, if you want the good ROI, master the skill.
