Job searching can eat up a lot of time. First, you have to find a job to apply to. Then, you have to complete those awful applications that make you include so much info that no one even looks at. And it’s the same boat if you are starting a business. There are so many things to do before you can even start earning an income, where do you even start?

I know firsthand that finding a career you love with a very busy schedule can work, you just have to use your time wisely and efficiently. And building relationships is your best bet for success.

So, here’s a super easy LinkedIn strategy to use if you are short on time:

LinkedIn Strategy: Use LinkedIn Groups to Contact Someone You Don’t Have an Email For 

If you want to contact someone at your dream company, but can’t find the right contact information anywhere, check out the person’s public LinkedIn profile and see what groups they are in. Then, join the group where you share a mutual interest. Once you are in the same group, you can send a message through LinkedIn. Just make sure you include something about your common interest in your message—it’ll make you seem like a networker, not a stalker.

Linkedin is an amazing place to find clients. I find clients there every day using this same tip.  I even used this tip to fill my last live event here in San Diego! First, search your LinkedIn groups for your ideal clients. Then, send them a message offering a free gift or an invitation to an upcoming webinar or event.

Good stuff, right? Focus on networking on LinkedIn, and you will get awesome results.
