I have found an interesting approach to LinkedIn Answers. Every couple of weeks I ask a question about a specific technique in how people become successful. I call them Zale's Success Stories. I a have asked over 40 questions. I get between 20 and 70 answers each time. Questions have included Time Management, Positive Mental Attitude, Coaching, etc. And of course one on how LinkedIn helps people succeed. The stories can be found at http://www.zaletabakman.ca/stories/ I also have a LinkedIn group where I update the people when a new question has been posted in LinkedIn Answers. At the same time I update them with stories that have been posted. Take Care Zale www.LinkedIn.com/in/ZaleTabakman <- An invite to me adds 1,600,000 people to your linkedin network www.ZaleTabakman.ca I like what you say about LinkedIn Answers.

As an active member of the LI Answers community for the past six months, I offer two tips when asking questions: 1. Send a "thank you" to every person who responds to your question. Personalize your response by finding common denominators in their profile and incorporating their answer. 2. Once the question is closed (after 7 days), take the time to highlight good answers and select the best answer. This is a quick, simple but effective way to return the favor. Personal branding for everyone involved is strengthened. Following through when asking questions on LinkedIn Answers not only makes it easier to connect, but it invites others to contribute answers to your questions in the future. There's a certain entrepreneur and author I know who would benefit from these tips. :) Without a doubt LinkedIn Answers is a fantastic way to reinforce your brand.
