Maximising the Potential of LinkedIn for You and Your Business

Founded in 2002 and launched in May 2003, LinkedIn has grown to become the business social network of choice across the globe. Latest figures released in April 2012 reveal that there are over 9 million users in the UK and 161 million around the world in over 200 countries. 2 new members sign up every 2 seconds.

Whilst LinkedIn is a very useful tool for business professionals, it is also playing an increasingly more important role for businesses. More than 2 million organisations have a Company Page and members share insights in more than 1 million LinkedIn Groups.
