By creating a profile on LinkedIn, you open yourself up for networking with professionals in varying industries to learn, share information and experiences, market yourself and stay up to date on trends and happenings within your areas of interest and expertise. \u00a0There are a number of structured groups that you can request to join, and where upon approval you can participate in “discussions” that are\u00a0pertinent\u00a0to the particular group. \u00a0Below, for example I’ve shown 3 “discussions” within the group Professional Photography. \u00a0There are many more discussions going on within this group, but this is just an example. \u00a0The first topic is on Eye-Fi cards, the second on complaining corporate customers and how to resolve an issue and the third is focussed on color space. \u00a0So you can see how the exchange of ideas and advice create a forum like atmosphere that has more of an exclusive appeal.<\/p>\n
