5 LinkedIn Tips for Lawyers
By Lauren Forbes
Adrian Dayton of the National Law Journal has reminded us that with 100 million members, LinkedIn matters, and lawyers should not fall behind in utilizing it maximally. Therefore, he has helpfully provided some tips to make the most out of your profile and habits. Some of the tips include making your title very specific and updating your outlook contacts often. Dayton also discusses that unlike Facebook, LinkedIn has an effective way to monitor who is reading your profile.
LinkedIn…has built into its platform the ability to see who is reading your profile.

I’ve been using this service for more than a year, and it has led to meetings with some high-value contacts who I thought were no longer interested in my services. The service isn’t very expensive, but if it leads to one more meeting with a potential client, then it is well worth the investment.
