You’re at the age now where you’re looking for anything that gives you (or your business) a competitive edge. You’re not alone, of course, so maybe it’s time you nicked in ahead of the rest and set yourself apart.

Recently we’ve been hearing some real buzz around a new platform that individuals and businesses are pretty excited about. It’s kind of like that other platform, the one that links you in if you know what I mean, but with all the added features you wish that site had. Say hello to Bizlink, the world’s most comprehensive business focused, marketing and networking social media platform.

So what tips do those in the know have to make full use of a networking platform like this? Listen up, here comes a few truth bombs.

Taking the time to complete your Bizlink professional profile will give your business the marketing edge it needs. Think what potential clients want or need to know from you – your business information should include what you know about a need and how you can meet that need.

Compare your Bizlink profile to the cover page of a book, and use this as an opportunity to include relevant and useful details of your business. Include client testimonials and endorsements – these will show off your skill set and add to your credibility. At the same time, don’t overtly sell your product or service – rather introduce it gradually and create an interest.

An up-to-date and complete profile plays a crucial part in the success of self promotion. Using a professional head shot or logo, a well-written business summary, and interesting product or service descriptions throughout your profile setup will build your brand’s consistency. It will also show your business in a favourable light with potential clients, a little something to set you apart from the crowd.

Complete profiles will assist other Bizlink members in identifying you when performing a search to add you to their networking community. It also introduces an element of trust to your networking community and gives credibility to your name. Lastly, accurate and well-written information will ultimately drive traffic to your biz page (your business website on Bizlink).

As a business owner, sales person or professional, you should always be on the lookout for new opportunities to market yourself and grow your business. You may also be looking to find a new career path or pursue a new business venture, but whatever your intention Bizlink is the business-social media site for you to do more.
