Feature Articles
The August Group registers with LinkedIn
LinkedIn Groups add Authentication
LinkedIn has enhanced the value of Groups recently adding an authentication
procedure. Previously it was assumed that LinkedIn members would honorably
list in their profiles those groups to which they were truly belonged. It’s
been observed that this is not the case. LinkedIn refined the Groups
function. Now groups can register with LinkedIn and one’s membership in a
group must be authenticated. When authenticated your profile will display
the group’s logo in your profile.
The Value of LinkedIn Groups
What’s the value of Groups? To connect with other LinkedIn members you must
know them well enough to invite them. It is assumed that people you know
well, that you’ll know their email address. It’s also assumed that if you
are a member of a group that you may share common interests yet not know all
members well enough to have their email addresses. The August Group would be
a great example. Members from 2002 are not likely to bump into members of
2005 or today, yet all share a common interest in networking.
The Value of Joining The August Group’s LinkedIn Group
When a new member joins The August Group they come seeking connections in
general sessions at The Bagel Bin or St. Cecilia’s. The challenge is that
they are limited to making connections with only those people they meet in
that session. There are now 1000’s who have attended The August Group and
who qualify as members. If you take each member and their LinkedIn
connections each member would have access to millions of connections and
contacts online. The most difficult challenge is finding contacts. LinkedIn
enables the finding. The August Group facilitates making the connections
real with warm introductions and face to face meetings. All August Group
members benefit adding their affiliation to The August Group to their
LinkedIn profile. If you’re looking to connect to millions, and that is not
an exaggerated claim, then become a LinkedIn member and join The August
Group within LinkedIn.
Joining LinkedIn and LinkedIn’s August Group Group (Did I say that
correctly?)
Joining LinkedIn is easy. Go to
LinkedIn
and you can become a member in 2-3 minutes. To learn more about this tool
either play with it or visit the Upcoming Events
section to learn about upcoming training.
To join the LinkedIn Group for The August Group there are two requirements.
-
You must demonstrate your
networking inclination and abilities. The August Group is all about
networking and making connections. The mantra is “Give to get.” Members
who practice this will have the 50 connections required to become a
member of this group. When you have achieved 50 connections you will
have demonstrated that you too are a connector.
NOTE – you can be a member of The August Group, with less than 50
LinkedIn connections. You WILL NOT be a member of The August
Group’s LinkedIn Group until you reach 50 connections.
-
We will verify your participation in The August
Group either past or present.
No one
will be initially rejected for failing either of these requirements. After
your request is made you will have 30 days to meet both authentication and
50 connections requirements. If these requirements are not met in that time
frame your request will be rejected and you will be instructed as to how you
might achieve membership in the future. If connecting to millions or simply
hundreds matters to you and will assist you, then join LinkedIn, learn the
tool and connect with The August Group within LinkedIn.
For the skeptical go to the
Media Coverage
page where articles from Fortune, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Time
and other leading publications regularly feature this game changing online
application that is networking for professionals. You'll find the
Fortune Magazine article "Why you'll finally use LinkedIn" most
interesting.
