LinkedIn is the largest business networking site in the world. The average household income per LinkedIn user at $109,000 which is much higher than any other social network. It is a business-related social networking site. The business social networking website reports more than 120 million registered users in more than 200 countries and territories. One purpose of the site is to allow registered users to maintain a list of contact details of people with whom they have some level of relationship, called Connections. Users can invite anyone (whether a site user or not) to become a connection. However, if the recipient of an invitation selects “I don’t know”, this counts against the person inviting them, and after five such “IDKs” a member cannot invite another to connect without first supplying their recipient mail address.

Here is how LinkedIn works:

• A contact network is built up consisting of their direct connections, the connections of each of their connections (termed second-degree connections) and also the connections of second-degree connections (termed third-degree connections). This can be used to gain an introduction to someone a person wishes to know through a mutual contact.
• It can then be used to find jobs, people and business opportunities recommended by someone in one’s contact network.
• Employers can list jobs and search for potential candidates.
• Job seekers can review the profile of hiring managers and discover which of their existing contacts can introduce them.
• Users can post their own photos and view photos of others to aid in identification.
• Users can now follow different companies and can get notification about the new joining and offers available.
• Users can save (i.e. bookmark) jobs which they would like to apply for.

Like all social network websites LinkedIn can be a bit difficult to learn and manage effectively. Let the experts at A Working Website manage your LinkedIn account for you.
