I offer services in a variety of displines.
Professionals in need of services readily turn to LinkedIn to assess the availablity of help.
My business also has needs. Based on the information I choose to include in my profile (or change in my profile or create a new profile) I can attract solutions providers to me.
In either case, those who are alert and using these tools suggests to me they didn't crawl out of a hole yesterday. They have proven to be great resources in bringing business to me and solving the challenges of the business I currently have.
IT is a B2B platform.
Here is something you must mull over. In the emerging sharing economy, how has LinkedIn changed? This presents the 3rd beneift of being present on LinkedIn.

I believe that Joe Petrowsky makes great use of Linkedin through his regular posting on this site. I haven't posted much other than to do status updates. Though, having a profile with endorsements is good for your SEO.

Joshua,
We have had a few clients come off our Linked In presence. We also get a lot of useless emails from those who have bought the email everyone lists from LinkedIN. I see it as a presence on the WWW. I also think, we are in a period of social fatigue. I have been predicting this for a while now, and I see it realized. For most of our clients, social media is not something that is even part of their marketing plan. A

Joshua Hess I do have about 30-40 views on my profile every month! At least half of them are the referrals and leads that want to know more about me.
Since I have a background in IT, it is easy for many of them to connect with me - as I can speak their 'language'!

Joshua Hess I have the basic account - but still get 5 to 10 invitations on a weekly basis to connect with others. I also get offers of "free" $50 or $100 worth of LinkedIn Ads - although I haven't yet taken advantage of any of it. Tony

I have never actually had a sale from posting in LinkedIn, but many tell me they see my posts. Guess it keeps my name current.

Not much. It is a business networking tool and doesn't have the frequency of use that I see on Facebook, etc. I use it to amplify my message, as others have stated. Nothing more. Free account all the way. Not worth paying for.
