Linkedin vs Facebook?

You can have a Forbes 500 company and maybe you want to buy something from another company for your personal use. Linkedin is for Business contacts. You have your profile there and you make contacts there.

Take care.

Both can be great platforms if you use the right strategies. It's best to stick to one platform first and master it before moving on to the next.

Facebook and LinkedIn are popular social networking websites. The profiles in Facebook are created for the purpose of connecting to friends and family to keep in touch. LinkedIn is more business-oriented, and mainly for professional networking.

Hey,

I agree that both sites can be used for business. However, Facebook is more of a hangout spot. LinkedIn is more professional.

From my experience, if you look at Facebook more as leveraging your business, then you can truly dominate it. Building social proof for any business is always a good thing. Linked in is more for jobs, professional careers, and networking.

Money is always being made on LinkedIn because of 2 main things, in my opinion. That is networking and relationships. A lot of the time in business, it's not always what you know, but who you know.

That being said, if you focus on building relationships and building a business, simultaneously, then you're on the right path.

Hope this helps out!

Well I think Facebook is more better option as it gives more better exposure for the promotion of the product in comparison with LinkedIn.

Traffic matters - Facebook is better for me. Though others have better results on linkedin but majority is on Facebook - 1.4 Billion users!

Both are used great social networking sites but they are uniquely different from each other. Because, I believe that LinkedIn is more on professional use.

Now a day all people know about facebook compare to linkedin. and linkedin is profession site.

hello,
in my opinion facebook is better for social networking and linkedin is better for professional network.

People on Facebook don't normally think about business.

Linkedin is the best when it comes to promoting IM, Business related and Graphic design services but facebook is way more general and you can target any thing you want!

hii,
I think facebook is best for social networking and linkedin is better for Business network.

Facebook is for social connection where you can share things with your fans and interact with them. LinkedIn is for business purpose with less social activities.

Social Media doesn't exist to sell products. Do you scroll Facebook with your wallet in your hand? Neither does anyone else. I'm not saying you can't promote or sell products on Social Media, but you have to be very crafty to do it.

Facebook is an excellent platform for ANY business. It will further your online presence and it allows you to provide your customers with great content while throwing in some promotion here and there. If you do it right, you can build a large following on Facebook and your fans will share your content if they find it helpful or valuable in some way.

LinkedIn is more for business to business promotion, or for those wishing to further their careers. It is big on networking and small on selling. However, if you have a lot of helpful content that will help people network or further their careers, then you can make something of it...but it probably won't be money.

Social Media is a traffic tool, not a selling tool. The best way to use it is to build your list, offer deals, and offer great information.

Facebook works best especially if businesses want to reach more users. Facebook has definitely more users compared to linkedin.

I'd say both are important but Linkedin are more useful for companies and individuals who are looking for jobs.

I would suggest facebook when compared to Linkedin. Because Facebook is more popular among all.
