Another LinkedIn tip – put common misspellings of your name, like Herd, into the Summary field of your profile. That way, if someone is searching for you with that spelling, they still find you. This is actually one of the "The Missing LinkedIn Tips" from my new blog at

LinkedIn Training - Misspellings

where I actually have a video that shows how to do it.

Thanks,
Pat O'Malley

This is full of great helps, hints, and tips. The other piece of the puzzle is having a complete profile. It is amazing how many people do not fully develop the content on their profile. More information creates more opportunities to create relationships with others who might "link" to you based on your common interests and experiences.

Great post Barry. It would be great to see the rules of the road to all of the social media sites - it's almost impossible to figure out the nuances of each one and their intended purpose.

I always appreciate the extra exposure. One of the reasons I wrote this article was simply because I knew there were so many professionals out there looking for a simple "idea" description of how to use Linkedin.
