Monitoring & Analyzing Social Media

Leveraging LinkedIn Groups: Social Pros

Social Pros is a new Group on LinkedIn with a simple yet ridiculous goal: To be the largest LinkedIn group for Social Media Professionals.

First, what are Social Pros?

• marketing and PR people who get social media
• community managers who build and moderate social media for companies and organizations
• pundits, consultants, analysts, prognosticators, seers and makers creating new social media applications and services
• connectors, hubs and spokes
• Communicators!

Why LinkedIn Groups?

• they’re focused on business (hence the ‘Pros’ moniker)
• ROI is measurable via connections and introductions
• using the pre-eminent business social network will attract business people who only marginally understand social media, helping us cross the chasm
• Safe For Work
