2. Add contacts/friends that you believe may have an interest in the products or services you’re offering.
3. Take advantage of the features that allow you to broadcast to all your contacts/friends. Send links to any free information you offer related to the products/services you’re offering, send details about special discounts, and send anything newsworthy related to you and what you have to offer.
4. Network with your friends/contacts by sharing advice, leads or answering any questions they may have.
5. Respond promptly to the friends/contacts who contact you.

You don’t have to give all your secrets away, just enough to let your potential customers/clients know that you are experienced.
7. Visit the profiles of those you’re connected with. Read their content and visit their website and blog. In addition, comment on their articles, videos, podcasts and etc. After all, that’s part of social networking.
