Let LinkedIn Becomes Part of Your Business Venture Online

LinkedIn is the world's largest professional social network with over 300 million users managing their professional identities, building and engaging with their professional networks. It is a place where users can discover professional opportunities, business deals, new ventures and a place where to get the latest news, inspiration, and insights from professional people.

Every day there are hundreds of posted new jobs from employers from the four corners of the globe. They are looking for professionals and qualified people for the job hiring. They are using LinkedIn to advertise their companies job vacancies for both online and offline job opportunities - from SEO experts down to content writers, online writers, ghost writers, journalists, skilled workers, products promoters and other imaginable available jobs vacancies.

LinkedIn is also used by hundreds of online job seekers. There are thousands of LinkedIn members who are willingly updating their LinkedIn professional profiles with photos, school attended, work experiences and other interesting things of achievements as to add flavors for their best published professional profiles on the site hoping to get hired by the interested employers.

There are hundreds of online groups available on LinkedIn created officially by its users - from technology group down to content writers group, online writers group, blog and blogging groups, gardening groups, freelancers groups, journalists groups, poetry group, natures group and many more. These LinkedIn groups are accepting members who are willing to share their best and interesting ideas with the other members.

There are hundreds of merchants and advertisers who are happily promoting their products and services on LinkedIn. These merchants and advertisers are also looking for people or affiliates who are willing to help them promote their products online. They target people who are experienced on online blogging and maintained their own blog sites or websites.

LinkedIn has a pulse section that caters a user's original articles either reviews about anything, news and other blogging items. So, bloggers and other types of online writers can use the pulse to showcase for their high quality columns or blog pieces. This is the place where online writers can promote and share their products and other services that they offer to their online audience in the form of writing pieces, photos, videos, etc.

It is already eight years have passed from the time I had joined LinkedIn that started in 2006. At first I was reluctant to use the site to share to other users what I had published online because I thought that LinkedIn is created only for people of highly professionals. However, that idea I have has changed when I received the invitation to write for LinkedIn. Of course, it surprised me and without any doubts I accepted it.

So far there are about nine articles I published on LinkedIn. Some of them were already published on some of the sharing revenue sites I am also writing. I just re-wrote them with new titles, introductions including the article body. All these published articles on LinkedIn bear my authorship with the backlinks leading to the websites that first published them.

Yes. LinkedIn does not pay for the articles published on their site but it is one of the best places I know where to spread out our writing hobby. Aside from the social networks and other bookmarking sites to market and to share our awesome articles - LinkedIn is also open for this purpose too. And to think that LinkedIn has more than 300 million users - who can tell us that 10 to 20 percent of these users would be attracted to read our write-ups?

Ingredients Needed to Write Attractive and Easy to Read Article

Your style is the manner in which you express your ideas. That is the words you use and the order in which you use them.

Your aim should always be for clarity. Your style should be an attractive and as easy to read as you can make it. When I say attractive, I mean that at least it should be attractive to you and sound good when you read it yourself. If you don’t like your style, then it is most unlikely that anybody else will either. But, remember this all your writing life, whatever style you develop it should be unique to you. Of course, you can learn a lot by studying the style of other writers. Even so, do not attempt to write exactly like them. It would only be, at the best, as second-rate imitation.

Your style must develop naturally from within yourself. Neither I nor anybody else can impose a style upon you and say it will suffice you for the rest of your writing life. It is unlikely that you will have a perfect, natural style from the start. It has to be worked at and honed until you produce attractive prose. It takes time to develop a style, too. Practice leads to a facility to write and, of course, the more you practice and write, the more confident and better you will become. 

In eighteenth century Jonathan Swift, the famous novelist, commented on writing style as follows: Proper words in proper places make the true definition of a style. 

Here the 5 C’s – correctness, conciseness, clarity, coherence and completeness should be considered and be applied in writing of non-fiction.

• Correctness – your facts must be accurate and your use of the English language must also be correct.
• Conciseness – this does not necessarily mean brevity. You can write a long article and still be concise. What it does mean is avoiding irrelevant facts, unnecessary words and long-winded explanations.
• Clearness – avoid ambiguity. Make what you write clear to your reader by giving him all the necessary information and expressing it in a way he will be sure to understand.

The readers should not have to read a sentence or paragraph more than once in order to understand its meaning. If your meaning is obscure readers will not spend time puzzling over it. They will turn to something else which can be understood easily, that is if the work is even published in the first place.

Clarity in writing must be preceded by clarity of thought. If you are not sure what you hope to say you cannot expect to express your meaning in the correct words. The better you are at thinking, the more skilled you should be at writing. You should have a clear of what you want to say at the start, middle and end of an article or story when you sit down to begin it.

• Coherence – this means presenting your ideas in an orderly, logical way so that your reader is able to follow your reasoning process.
• Completeness – ensure that your reader has all the facts that are available without being burdened with what is unnecessary or trivial. 

Ban Ki-Moon The Secretary General of The United Nations is Used and Abused by Online Criminals

On August 2, 2014, I received letter from Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon says: Please view the attached letter and contact Dr. PATRICE TEME immediately for your cheque/bank draft amounting to $500,000,000. You are required to contact the above person and furnish him with the following of your information that will be required to avoid any mistakes: Your Full name, Your Country, Contact Address, Telephone Number, Fax Number, Marital Status, Occupation, Sex and Age. Congratulations. I  look forward to hear from you as soon as you confirm your payment making the world a better place.

The whole world knows that Ban Ki-Moon is the eight and current Secretary-General of the United Nations, after succeeding Kofi Annan in 2007. Before becoming Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon was a career diplomat in South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in the United Nations. Now his name and authority is being used and abused by these hoaxers scamming people around the world. The real Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-Moon should protect his name and reputation against hoaxers.

He said, "You may not understand why this mail came to you. We have been having a meeting for the past 7 months which just ended few days ago with the secretary to the UNITED NATIONS. This email is to all the people that have been scammed in any part of the world, the UNITED NATIONS in Affiliation with WORLD BANK have agreed to compensate them with the sum of USD $500,000,000."

I believe that FBI is capable to combat online scams and can send Ban Ki-Moon, Dr. Patrice Teme and other people who are involved on this craft to jail if caught and found guilty. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a governmental agency belonging to the United States Department of Justice that serves as both a federal criminal investigative body and an internal intelligence agency. The FBI's main goal is to protect and defend the United States, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal and international agencies and partners.

The FBI's top investigative priorities are: Protect the United States from terrorist attacks; Protect the United States against foreign intelligence operations and espionage; Protect the United States against cyber-based attacks and high-technology crimes; Combat public corruption at all levels; Protect civil rights; Combat transnational/national criminal organizations and enterprises; Combat major white-collar crime and Combat significant violent crime.

My two-cents advice: Because on-line hoaxers and other scammers are abusively using the Internet to victimize people. To avoid them, online users should not bite their sweet promises. They should not entertain unsolicited emails coming in to their mail boxes.
