Hey Gifer! That’s a great point! When I originally wrote this post, Twellow was one of the main tools I used. But now, it’s littered with people who illegitimately built huge profiles and let them sit there. It’s not as good anymore.

You do have a lot of updating to do to your profile, but you should still start using it to connect with other people. In my opinion, there are two types of people who use LinkedIn, business professionals and entrepreneurs.

The difference is that business professionals use it as a resume to find their next big job. Entrepreneurs use it to build a networking database. Thus, to an entrepreneur like yourself, it’s more important to have lots of connections than a completed profile. After all, most of the people you add are already familiar with your accomplishments.

But this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t update it when you get a chance.

No problem, man. There are very few situations in which it’s better to direct message than @ reply. And you should always @ reply that person to tell them you sent a DM.

Thanks, HeatherO’! You’re absolutely right about Facebook. I still feel uncomfortable with promoting my site to my friends, but I’m getting better!

Sometimes I feel like I have my hands full with Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and various blogs. But there’s no reason not to use social networks for young entrepreneurs; I just haven’t… Do you have any to suggest?

Hey, Jason! Thanks for stopping by. I’m not sure if you saw my comment on http://BloggerBear.com, but you have a cool story.

Make sure to add me to your network when you get that going.

I don’t even have a LinkedIn profile yet, been meaning to get one thought.

Will try and sign up sometime this week.

Twitter is wonderful for networking, promoted an event mostly through it and saw pretty decent results.

Great Post! Facebook is a very powerful biz tool too! It is often overlooked because so many people think of it as “personal”. But, people get to know you here more so than anywhere else!

Just curious, there are several social networks for young entrepreneurs. Do you use any of them? why or why not?

(I am planning to start one for those we connect with at our seminar and am just wondering if there is a broader “need to be filled”)thanks!
