[+] Show Hidden Comments

A3: Ur headline should b more than job title, summary in first person, share something personal!

A3: For #B2B #LinkedIn profiles, having good contact information, summary of what you can do for them, and a decent photo

A3: In addition to headline and summary, having recommendations lets people see what you are like to work with.

CatherineCameronHeld

A3 Professional profile picture, upclose and and clear

A3: Also helps when you have recent activity, like writing on #Pulse or posting articles

A3: Of course, it's important to have a good photo - something that shows you as approachable and professional.

A3: Leave the cocktails to FB! ha!

CatherineCameronHeld

A3 Keep up-to-date and accurate. Be honest.

@denisebahs Cocktails are more fun on Twitter... And Google+ especially. No one looks at that anymore. #IsThisRoomEmpty?

Yes, profile photo is critical! Profiles with photos are viewed 14% more than others

A former Boot Camp student launched SocialPhoto to help professionals boost their headshots http://www.socialpho...

That's a great headshot concept. I might call them

Awesome @denisebahs! I love @DailyDilbert

Do you think we get less work done b/c of social media?

@arianagradow - it can be distracting ... but it sure increases your reach... and influence.

It depends on the user. #socialmedia can actually boost productivity

@arianagradow combo of both Ariana! More opp to build relationships, but also more opp to kill time!

@arianagradow thanks for joining us here today!

@arianagradow great question and one we hear often. Setting expectations is critical to #employeeadvocacy

CatherineCameronHeld

@arianagradow I found social assisted me in promoting events and launches. Greater reach!

Glad I made it in time. This is a great chat!

@cathcamheldt It's the best tool to use for promotion and marketing.

[+] Show Hidden Comments

A4: A short and information bio, a clear and relatable photo, and consistent content for others to read.

A4: B sure to show some personality. Life is too short 2 b boring.

A4: You can say a lot with images ... upload a header and profile photo that give the essence of what you want to be known for.

A4: Also, not just retweeting things from others or posting too much on your newsfeed.

CatherineCameronHeld

A4 when tweeting for a company "tweets are my own"

A4: Let people know what you will be tweeting about...give them an idea why they should follow you.

Do hashtags in #Twitter profile help your "findability"?

CatherineCameronHeld

A4 It's OK to combine work and personal

Hashtags are essential for visibility!

Depends on how much traffic you get and how much credibility your profile has

Hashtags def help people find your #content and help you brand yourself and your company.

CatherineCameronHeld

A4 Please make sure you use appropriate #hastags like #krappyroadtrip2015

where in the world is @paulkrappman on his #krappyroadtrip2015 ?

Q2: Should all business professionals have a #LinkedIn profile? #socialmedia

[+] Show Hidden Comments

A2: Yes! Why not? It's a great way to tell the story of you.

A2: Have a #LinkedIn profile and at least one other (#Twitter is recommended for #b2b)

Do any of your students have privacy concerns with being on #LinkedIn?

CatherineCameronHeld

A2 If they want a presence and exposure

A2: having more than one gives you a more personal feel and makes you relatable. For example, @PaulKrappman is on #krappyroadtrip2015 and showcasing his vacation.

A2: @XING_de and @LinkedIn are two good platforms for creating profiles.

A2: Dilbert says if u don't have a social presence, u must be dead!

CatherineCameronHeld

Yes...privacy is an issue that can be respected and worked with

A2: Business professionals need at least one professional #Socialmedia profile.

@cathcamheldt yes, most social media profiles have really good privacy settings now

CatherineCameronHeld

@GilbBrian Agreed! Unfortunately, not anything is 100% fool-proof

@cathcamheldt clearly you've never heard of #Slack

Why does my profile matter for building online @socialauthority? #b2b #socialmedia

A1: Your profile is your chance to take control of what you want the world to know about you.

A1: I'm willing to bet more people have seen your LinkedIn profile than your paper bus card!

CatherineCameronHeld

A1 to set the tone as to who you are

A1: People race to LinkedIn to check you out before a big meeting!

A1: People for the #b2b world will try and contact you through your profile. So having a professional appearance online is essential.
