How To Join A Linkedin Group

In this step by step guide, social media strategist Jodie Cole of JC Social Media shows you how to network and discuss topics of interest to your business on the social networking site Linkedin.

Method

Log in to your Linkedin profile.

There are many ways to join groups on Linkedin. One way is to select the 'Groups' tab and click on 'Groups you may like.' Linkedin will then show you recommendations based on your employment history. Find a group that you would like to join and note whether it has a padlock symbol next to its name. If there's no padlock, click 'Join' and then 'Continue.' Then check your settings to control how you would like to be notified of new posts.

If you do see a padlock next to the group name, request to join. You will be notified by email when your request has been accepted.

Look at the discussions going on in the group and see if there are any you can contribute to or would like to join in with. Most importantly, enjoy yourself and have fun with it.
