Why 5on5 Expert Blog Series
I was going to more and more social networking meet-up groups and talking to people about social media. Many of the unemployed at these events were not utilizing LinkedIn in their job search efforts. It got me thinking about myself on LinkedIn and how I was using it. As I was building my connections I came across Lena West. She was on HomeBusinessBrains.com as one of the featured small business experts. She talked on social media and I just felt a connection with her and how she presented the material and herself. That led me to think about what are the experts doing. What tips and tricks are they doing on LinkedIn. My first thought was how about 5 power users and then my business partner chimed in with 5on5, ask the 5 experts 5 questions. We were also thinking about white papers and what topics we could write on for our business. That’s when I decided to create a 5on5 Expert Blog Series and from there ask additional questions to include on the white paper.
I’ve just completed the first 5on5 Expert Blog Series on social networking and LinkedIn. I interviewed Andrew Ballenthin who created the BlogOff Contest which just completed it’s second round. Zhu Shen is the Queen of Networking with over 9 million connections. Ben Benedetti creator of Film TV Professionals with over 24,000 members in less than a year. Dominc Tong, MD who is a great connector referring many to the right connected match. And of course my inspiration Lena West an award-winning social media consultant, blogger, speaker, journalist and technologist. The blogs begin on Monday January 4th. Stay tuned for February’s Series on Recruiters.
