Linked in...useful or pointless?

[dianamurphy]

I echo what Katie has said, in my other business life I have used all the possible social media available as well as the various networking sites, LinkedIn really isn't the place for adult services professionals really! There is the worry of everything getting linked up, or at least suggested, but if you cover your tracks this shouldn't be an issue.

I guess there may be the odd gent who may be curious enough to look on there for pro's in our industry but I would very much doubt it's a very common thing.

Linkedin is also getting very money orientated trying to upsell it's membership, this will probably end up, as a result, clearing profiles they don't want to appear in the long run. What effect this would have on our industry I am not sure... Using LinkedIn successfully does take a lot of work though!

Personally I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole for this line of work.
