LinkedIn is a social networking site for the business community. It boasts more than 45 million users worldwide. If you are a business professional, you have probably had some experience with LinkedIn already. If not, it would be beneficial for you to learn more about it. I liken it to Monster.com meets social media. It is encouraging to note that the Christian community is growing on LinkedIn and ministers are slowly beginning to use it as a tool to connect and share ministry opportunities with one another.
However, I would like to mention a very subtle but powerful way to share your faith on LinkedIn. There is a tool that allows the user to import and display their blog on their LinkedIn profile. For a Christian producing a faith-based blog, this is a great opportunity to deliver thought provoking spiritual material to colleagues.
Steps:
1. Sign in to LinkedIn
2. Click “Edit Profile”
3. Choose “Add Application”
4. Click “Blog Link”
5. Follow Blog Link Directions
