Business strategy dictates that you use an arsenal of techniques to help grow your business. Are you using all of the resources at your disposal? If you are not sure, have you tried LinkedIn Groups?

As you may already know, LinkedIn is a growing social site for business professionals. Whether you work for a company or own your own storefront or internet business, you can find others with a similar business presence. Unlike other social sites, the idea here is to give professionals a place to network effectively. Preliminary profiles give other members a quick glance at who you are to see if they want to learn more.

There are a variety of ways that you can get involved in the site. One is LinkedIn Groups. If you have the goal of growing your business (most of us do), this tool can help you if you know how to leverage it.
