Experts Connection Webinar to Focus on Low Maintenance Social Media Strategies for Professional Brand Building

Google Expert Glenn Raines Explains How to Elevate Brand Visibility and Findability.

You know that you need to build your online brand, but you really aren't certain how to start, or you really don't have time to manage your profile on LinkedIn or Google+, or your professional page on Facebook. You need a low-maintenance approach to building your online presence; an easy way to impart your personal brand value quickly and compellingly. In this month’s session of Experts Connection for Executives , “Create Your Professional Profile for LinkedIn, Google, and Facebook: An Easy, Low Maintenance Approach,” Glenn Raines, founder of Social Media Moves and author of Google Profile: Elevate Your Brand and Findability on the Web, will host a 90-minute session on easy ways to build your professional social media profile. The webinar is sponsored by NETSHARE®  and is scheduled for December 14 from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. ET, (1:00 - 2:30 p.m. PT).

Social media can be a great tool for senior executives seeking a career change, but no one wants to invest hours in fine-tuning their online profile. You know you need to invest in promoting your personal brand with profiles on Google+ and a Facebook professional page, but how can you increase your searchable exposure without making it a full-time job?

In this webinar, Glenn will guide you through a step-by-step process to highlight the unique benefits of each social media platform - LinkedIn, Google, and a Facebook Professional Page - and offer time-saving strategies for each. He also will discuss each platform’s strengths, weaknesses, and how you can “cover the spread” to maximize visibility for your content, skills, and market value. And Glenn will show you how to cut through the process and do just what is needed to keep the process simple.

The webinar will show attendees how to:

- Write or modify your profile content to work most effectively on LinkedIn, Google, and Facebook.
- Link all of your social network profiles to offer a 360-degree view of your professional brand.
- Maximize exposure from you LinkedIn profile, your Google+ profile, and your Facebook professional page.
- Add web links to your profiles to direct visitors to other web locations.
- Boost your keyword density to increase your findability by the search engines.

“Never before have job seekers had so many resources to reach hiring decision-makers, which is why it’s more important than ever to understand how to get the most from social media and similar brand-building platforms with minimal effort,” said Katherine Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection teleseminars. “Glenn has made a careful study of where each of the most popular social media platforms excel and this webinar should provide all the insight you need to harness social media to efficiently build your professional presence online.”
