Shownotes

Joining us from the sandy beaches of Florida, Charlie Van Derven, the Founder of Social Advisors and LinkedIn Guru, walks us through his foresight of social media years and what it is for advisors and firms today.

Charlie takes us through the challenges advisors face with content marketing, building your LinkedIn network and niche, and the importance of a simple message to a new connection right after it’s made on LinkedIn. He also walks us through tools to help advisors overcome and stay committed despite the drawbacks of not seeing instant gratification and ROI from your first couple of posts.
