Linkedin Online Training Course

Course Trainer - Dawn McGruer, Director of Business Consort's video of 'Social Media Tips' filmed at The Telegraph

 

 

Did you know that the Linkedin.com site has 4,712,656 UK members at this moment? This month I expect they will break the 4 million barrier of people that will visit Linkedin.com in the UK. In fact on the 4th Jan 2011 Linkedin.com had the most visitors ever: 498 thousand in one day. This may not become as a big surprise as the first working day/week is one of the busiest days in recruitment.

 

- The percentage of users logging on from home/work (UK): 38% business / 62% home

- 1% of the 'addicts' are responsible for 24% of all page visits

- The amount of time spent by users on the Linkedin site: 7.3 minutes (3-month average)

- Most connected industries: IT (324,770), Financial Services (188,786), Computer Software (124,785) and Marketing/Advertising (119,958)

- Most connected UK companies: NHS (18,140), BT (11,536), Royal Bank of Scotland (11,221), IBM (9,217) and HSBC (8,557)

- 209,336 people work more than 10 years at their company

- 1,963,531 work less than a year at their current company but only 80,532 have less than 1 year of working experience

- 73% are keen to receive messages about new 'career opportunities'

 

It's ideally positioned to market both to B2B but also B2C as this network has some of the most affluent individuals from all over the world who are all consumers!
