This post will give 5 effective applications of Linkedin which can be used for eBay and Amazon business. Social media examiner has also shared an article on “How LinkedIn Apps Can Promote Your Business. The following are 5 applications that can be used for eBay and Amazon business-
1. Company Buzz Company Buzz is a Lfinkedin application which displays real-time tweets relating to your eBay or Amazon (or other search term). Also, the tool taps information and allows you to see historical plots of your search term and receive the most popular words associated with your topic. For example, if I searched “Virtual Assistants” using the application, I would be able to see real-time tweets that included my search term, a graph of the history of “Virtual Assistants,” .In short “Company Buzz” can allow for you to know what is being said about your company, product, or industry in an instant. With help of this application you can make changes in your social media marketing strategy to meet the changes in the way people perceive the brand/product that you sell at your online store.

always smart to keep your ears open to what people are saying about your business, especially when you work in an online environment. Isn’t it?
2. Blog Link As a eBay or Amazon business owner if you have a blog that tells about your products or if you write product reviews in your blog, you would want to connect with more people and make people aware of your blog/website and then gradually direct that traffic to your webstore. You can connect your blog to your LinkedIn profile and get the most of your relationships. Blog Link helps you and your professional network (eBay or Amazon business) stay connected. This application will automatically pull in the latest blog posts from around your network so you can stay up-to-date on the latest posts from your trusted connections.
3. Events LinkedIn has an event application that works well to target your niche market while also building an engaged event community. This application will let you know about the new events which are going to take place and the detail about it. If you download this application you will also be able to add an event PLUS add details about the events (like who is organizing or who are going to attend etc.) Offcourse, try to create event which are relevant to your market, for example, eBay and Amazon training, etc. If you would like to participate in relevant events, LinkedIn will suggest relevant events to you based on keywords you have used in your profiles. (Industry, Product, etc).
4. SlideShare Slide share is the world’s largest community for sharing presentations. And recently they added its application to Linkedin. Here with this application you can share our presentations on your product. .Obviously, this will be worth the effort if you sell expensive stuff. With the SlideShare application, you can view the presentations of all your connections. And you can also find experts for certain industries and topics, and share important presentations with your own connections and the rest of the LinkedIn network. Slide share is available both in Facebook and linked in. Upload to any one — SlideShare, Facebook or LinkedIn and it will shows up instantly on all three.

5. Tweets Many eBay or Amazon business people work hard to share great information(mostly about their listings) with their community on Twitter. For eBay or Amazon business people, it makes sense to republish your tweets with your LinkedIn profile. Tweets application lets you do just that. But before linking together Twitter and LinkedIn, review your tweet stream to make sure that your tweets add to the professional presence you want to convey on Twitter. Users can view all of the Twitter information from their connections and read a snippet of a connection’s last tweet. Build a dynamic list of them to contacts all tweets from your network. Tweets also gives you instant access to the updates of people you are following on Twitter and the power to tweet, reply, and re-tweet — all from your LinkedIn home page. The above mentioned applications make your life easier when you are trying to make use of LinkedIn for your store promotion. But, I want to remind you that LinkedIn is a highly professional community where too many status updates aren’t encouraged at all. Therefore, be careful not to spam the LinkedIn wall with too many status updates and share the best of your listings which can give some value to the LinkedIn community.
