1. Create Your Linkedin Profile / Page
   The easiest of steps where you can simply create your profile and input all the contents (Images, Graphics, Text etc)
2. Invite your connections to like you page
   The first challenge is here. You will have a tough time growing your audience initially as Linkedin audience are specifically aware about the use of linkedin platform and they don’t want to see more of a company updates rather than professional updates. Thus, invite only your connections and give them a reason on why they should follow your profile or page.
3. Start sharing contents
   Share contents which carry value. Rather than promotion of your products or services, start by sharing contents which people will engage, tell stories rather than promoting your business. Share contents which will be relevant to the audience. For eg: “Share your company culture”, “Message from your directors etc”
4. Find you audience, proper target and Go for Sponsored Ads
   You than need a linkedin campaign to build your connections. Run a campaign in phases where you will talk about your company and ask people to get connected with them. Once you have decent followers you can than start promoting your brand, services and contents.
5. Use group, hashtags and share your contents
   Linkedin is widely known for their use of hashtags and recommendations. Create a culture to start sharing your contents with the use of right hashtags and share them with the groups that are relevant.
6. Share regular vacancies, company updates etc for added benefits
   By doing so, you will be giving an opportunity for people on linkedin to be a part of your organization and that will create a huge awareness in the linkedin community about your company. Once you start practicing this, you will start receiving followers automatically as they wish to get the regular vacancies and updates about your company.So, what now? You must be wondering that it looks more of a job and employment platform rather than marketing platform.
   Yes, this is it. But wait, after putting all these efforts you deserve some reward. Now is the most significant part where you will need to identify your business nature.
7. Is it B2B?
   Then, simply start searching for the companies that might purchase your service. Connect with them and setup a meeting or even setup a demo. (Since you already have a strong company profile on linkedin, they will most likely trust you) Boom, there you go. You have a shot and now it all depends upon your business meeting.
8. Is it B2C?
   Easy as it can be, identify the audiences of your profile/page. Start promoting the value your product/service brings.

So, we have learnt that Linkedin is a professional network. But it doesn’t mean that you cannot market your company. I would rather say, it is a multi purpose platform. You get to build your Brand, promote your services and connect with the Potential Businesses or Customers. You just need to use it wisely.
