Almost everyone in Zambia (and the rest of the world) is infatuated with Facebook and Twitter. Even if are my buddy reading this blog, I'm certain you have a Facebook or Twitter app on your phone or tablet, but you've probably never thought of installing LinkedIn, and you may not even know what LinkedIn is. Ask whether the person next to you has LinkedIn loaded on their phone, since their circumstances are likely to be identical to yours. Right now, your bae is probably playing candy crush or putting soccer bets on their phone as you read this.
Worse yet Many Zambian company owners have elected to utilize other social networking networks instead of LinkedIn. These folks are clueless that LinkedIn is the most professional networking platform accessible to small companies and delivers the finest opportunities for company owners. Because it brings together experts with similar interests, this is the case.
Unlike Facebook and Twitter, LinkedIn users do not share selfies of their bottoms and boobs or beer bottles accompanied by ridiculous memes and hashtags.
Smart Zambians and other LinkedIn users from throughout the globe who interact here do so in a professional atmosphere and entirely for the purpose of business and profit. So tell me, my dear friend, why do you feel driven to follow the multitudes on Social media who are unable to produce money or improve their careers? LinkedIn may help you reach your online marketing objectives by exposing you to a broader audience who may be able to employ you or help you develop your company.

Be clever, Get LinkedIn
Don't get me wrong: Facebook and Twitter are wonderful outlets for promoting your brand; we at Snotra Delux utilize them as well. The point I'm trying to make is that LinkedIn has a professional audience. Job seekers and small companies are making a terrible mistake by neglecting LinkedIn. Businesses are doing themselves a disservice if they assume Facebook and Twitter are the only social media marketing channels accessible. In truth, these two social media behemoths are the biggest networks on the globe, but LinkedIn offers something others don't.
It allows a person to connect with a large number of like-minded professionals in Zambia and around the world, allowing them to work with focused and results-oriented people, expand their business and job search network, and chat and get advise from other professionals that share your same interests.
This is easier said than done for most company owners. Setting up a profile looks to be a Herculean endeavor that would be better served by blog articles and tweets.
Many Zambians have an overthinking condition, they waste too much time thinking about how time-consuming and complicated LinkedIn is. Some even claim LinkedIn is solely for Western nations, not for Zambians (ati nivaba zungu, wala boi). All of this is wrong thinking; in fact, being on LinkedIn is analogous to a toddler visiting a candy shop and knowing that everything is free; the youngster will have a fantastic time. Because there are so many prospective jobs, customers, business partners, and service providers, you will have a fantastic time on LinkedIn as well.
It will benefit you in recruiting other people's skills and services. You'll be able to utilize it as a blog, obtain professional advise from others, and sell your CV or website utilizing it. Make and receive suggestions, organize and join groups, and engage in SEO activities.
A basic LinkedIn account is really simple to set up and is absolutely free. LinkedIn, like Facebook and Twitter, will take you through filling up your personal information, addresses, business name (its acceptable even if you don't have one), and other facts. You may establish an account by choosing from one of three account types: Business, Business Plus, or Executive. Each one has its own set of perks for you as an individual you or for your organization.
After joining the LinkedIn network, whether you are a small or big Zambian company owner, you should concentrate on personalizing your LinkedIn sites. After all, this is the first impression you'll make on prospective partners, customers, and job searchers. Various areas of your account must be updated, including your profile, group creation, and so on. Each of these elements determines the effectiveness of a company's marketing activities.
Don't worry if you're new to LikedIn and aren't sure whether you're doing things right. LinkedIn includes a to-do list that shows you what you need to accomplish and what you've already done.
It's not the same as employing Facebook or Twitter to work on LinkedIn. Starting with your profile, every communication here is business-oriented. Your profile may be thought of as a digital business card.
Your profile should have a headline. Your headline will display at the top of your LinkedIn page in search results. This can assist you locate the folks who could be interested in your services. When people are looking for you on LinkedIn, your headline will display in their search results. In addition, LinkedIn will also expose related articles that may be of interest to them. Once you have a profile, you may begin to participate in social networking.
Only fill in the areas that are related to your profile, such as your social media accounts, websites, and/or blogs, and any other relevant information. Please, my buddy, I ask you. Pictures of your girlfriend with love emoji’s aren’t something you post on your profile. The same may be stated about your favorite rapper's record or your favorite hangout area. It's a resounding NO!! BE EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL!
After you have registered for an account, you may begin connecting with other people on LinkedIn. Go to a user's profile page and click the "Connect" button to do so. Then, into your LinkedIn account, you may import your email contacts. You may start connecting with people after you've imported your contacts. Go to their profile page and click the "Connect" option on the right side of their profile picture.
If you operate a company, start by giving basic information about it, such as a description, your goods, and the sort of clientele you serve. Everything should be no more than a paragraph long. Make it easier for people to find you by selecting keywords that are pertinent to your company. When a prospective client seeks for services in your industry, this will help your LinkedIn page rank higher.
After that, the LinkedIn wizard will ask you to add your logo, location(s), and RSS feed for your blog. Your page will be ready to be accessed by anybody on this platform after you have finished all of its duties. On LinkedIn, here is when things start to become very interesting. All of your data is examined and presented, placing you in front of their search engine, your industry, and prospective customers and partners.
Job seeking in Zambia is a challenging undertaking, but LinkedIn can make it a bit simpler. To understand how to gain job on LinkedIn, you must first construct a LinkedIn profile (which we have previously mentioned above).
Then you should follow others and comment on their posts. This will guarantee that you stay relevant to your target audience, and people will know that your account is legitimate and not a bot account created to spam platform users.

Whether you need to apply for a position in the future, you may utilize the corporate website's 'Track my jobs' option to check if the job listing is still available and apply for it.

As a consequence, LinkedIn is the finest approach to locate a job. This site is a terrific location to network and meet possible employers. You'll be able to locate new chances in your profession if you're real.
Advertising in Zambia may be rather pricey. As a consequence, the majority of Zambians utilize social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. However, as previously said, the Facebook and Twitter groups are made up of a broad range of individuals, some of whom are only interested in uploading images, watching movies, and having a good time with nothing. Small companies may use LinkedIn to market their goods and services, exposing them to a bigger audience of professionals. LinkedIn offers a place for company owners to freely promote and discuss their goods and services on a platform that is completely focused on business.
LinkedIn is a terrific resource for discovering new clients and contacts in Zambia and across the globe. You'll be able to reach out to other experts who are interested in what you have to offer.

The following are things NOT to DO: avoid hard selling, a hard sale is designed to encourage a consumer to buy a product or service quickly rather than analyzing his or her choices and maybe postpone the purchase.

A new feature called applications has been introduced to LinkedIn. You may advertise vacancies on your profile and employ talent solutions that you don't have in-house using this tool. Keep in mind to update your account on a frequent basis.
