LinkedIn is a great way to get answers to business questions from business people
By
If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, start out by creating one. Fill out your LinkedIn profile with every bit of information you can about yourself and your business and your products or services.
Then go to LinkedIn Answers and post a business question. Here’s a list of questions that were asked on LInkedIn that got a lot of great answers. It will also give you an idea of what a great resource this is:
- What is the best city and country to locate a European headquarters?
- What is the future of the newspaper industry?
- What influences the choice of commercial database vs open source database?
One other benefit is that a lot of business people will see your business and might contact you or ask to link with you. On these social marketing sites, it’s all about possibilities!

As it’s so important to have an optimized profile on LinkedIn in order to get the best results from asking questions, I recommend the book ROCKTHEWORLD by Mike O’Neil. This book takes you step-by-step through filling out your LinkedIn profile. The book is well worth it.
