Thanks for the comment, Jeff. You remind me I should update this post with a revision. Version 3, if you will.

But you’re right: Group members, when active, are noticed and appreciated among the collective.

Regarding #5, I have found that not only are groups fantastic for keeping up with an industry and professional development, but the best way to find quality connections. People active in groups are much more active networkers, share resources, advice, etc. And are much more logical connections if they are members of groups in your industry.

Obviously I am a huge advocate for participating in groups.

Thanks for the great tips. Here are some of my own tips and tricks, including using LinkedIn as a CRM: http://www.minutebio.com/LI/PowerTips.htm

Hi Ari Very useful article. I was invited to join LinkedIn a couple of months ago and joined, but am not really sure still what to expect beyond it being another type of social network. I know it is to be taken seriously and for professionals, but do people actually attract jobs using it? Forgive me if I sound completely ignorant of what it is about, but I just have not invested the right time to get to know it, due to the thinking that it does not have that much to offer.

My recommendation for #11? Use a LinkedIn application. Post slide presentations (SlideShare), mark conferences you are attending or speaking at (Events), and import blog posts with the WordPress application. These are all open social apps and will leverage your social graph in the linkedin context, but connect to your accounts on external services as well.
