During any given week I get to speak to a lot of business owners. When I am speaking to these business owners they are passionate and love what they do. Yet many find themselves spending more time than they’d like on social media marketing.

This is no surprise when you consider a business can be using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. Just to name a few.

This article on HubSpot explains the benefits of using LinkedIn for lead generation. This article reported that the visitor-to-lead conversion rate on LinkedIn is three times higher than both Facebook and Twitter.

And the good news is that it doesn’t need to take up much of your time. This means as a business owner you can spend your time focusing on what you want to be doing in your business.

Joshua Foer was the 2006 USA Memory Champion, said

One of the greatest challenges of our age, in which the tools of our productivity are the tools for our leisure, is to figure out how to make useful those moments of procrastination when we’re idling in from off the computer screens.

Once a LinkedIn profile has been developed. Here are my top tips to manage your presence on LinkedIn for maximum results. In 7 minutes a day.

Set-up a plan: If you have a clear idea of what you want to achieve you can take specific steps to achieve your goal. This means that everything that you do is purposeful and brings you closer to your ideal outcome. You don’t waste time on things that don’t matter. From there you can schedule time in your calendar to manage your LinkedIn profile.

Share content : Leverage what others are doing. When you like or comment on someone’s article you are increasing your visibility across the network . Without having to write your own content all the time.

Save searches: By setting up a saved search in LinkedIn you are notified anytime someone who joins the platform or changes their details to meet this criteria. This means that you spend less time searching for people.

Paul Meyer, motivational speaker and successful businessperson once said:

"Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning and focused effort”.

By developing an efficient strategy, business owners can leverage LinkedIn for maximum impact in less than 7 minutes a day.

This means that they can spend their time doing what they want to be doing in their business, while still experiencing the benefits of LinkedIn
