Linked In in Financial Planning

An article that I read called "In the Game: New Rules for Social Media" talked about how financial planners need to start using social media in order to build a more solid practice. They talk about how FINRA regulations shocked people because of the lack of regulations that compliance for companies have to follow in regards to their employees posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Linked In.  The use of Linked In is what most professionals use to help drive their business as it helps connect them with other business people around the world. I feel that social media can be used more in the business world that it is now. With 800 million Facebook users alone, there is a vast opportunity for a Financial Planner to get new clients. This article talked about how you can post interesting articles that you have read, or give little insights into financial planning. This will help build credibility with those around you, and ultimately help grow your practice!
