Here is a question that is applicable for all the professionals – What do you do to increase your opportunities. You might have number of ways to increase your professional opportunities but as a marketing professional I believe that keeping in touch with other professionals of your own field or even some other similar fields is always a great way to increase your chances for your career graph.
The fact is, that in the present throat cut era in almost every field one must have an hawk like eye on every opportunity and even if you have to create opportunities you should not feel hesitation for a single moment however if you get your opportunities the easier way doing a little bit of expansion of your professional circle then there is nothing better than taking the full advantage.
Do you use social media for your success in career like Facebook if yes then you are doing a right thing but be careful as most employer can use what you post on Facebook in both ways LinkedIn is far better media which shows you in a professional light with each of your detail, your references, your educational and career graph, your qualifications and your expertise in your subject. You do not have to make any strategy on LinkedIn even if you are an introvert or shy type but you have everything there.
Do you know systematic social media contact is must for your career progress if done in a systematic way? Most of the modern professionals know the importance of social media for their self promotion and do it successfully. However, you can always chalk out a proper strategy if you feel shy or hesitant mixing up. A proper strategy will keep you stress free and ready for the proper conversation. You will have to keep certain points in your mind that will reduce your hesitation to a great extent-
A- You should begin with opportunities where you have least chances of risks of debate that may boomerang on you.
B- Make sure you come out of your comfort-zone and discuss on certain topics where you do not feel hesitation to start with
C- Make it a habit to talk to few famous people of your trade or include a few from other trades too as references are always a great help
D- Do you know that some of the experts suggest that you should have a list of topics that you can ask when you talk to someone for the first time. It is like two strangers talk weather related topics when traveling together the professionals talk about their immediate boss
E- You know, in most cases a person who is a good listener despite all of his long experiences in the field is always gets best remarks because there is a real dearth of good listeners but the online world is full of suggestion makers. Everyone is an expert so if you know how to be a good listener you always are on top of the list but you do not have to be buttering expert.
F- You must know the fact that even the introverts have their best chance of communication online so keep a close eye on activities of professionals and keep in touch and as LinkedIn is your best chance let it make your presence speak on behalf of you.

There are some very good tips in your list, @sunil. I think they could be applied most effectively to other social networking sites, as well. Excellent advice for both the entrepreneur and the budding writer!
I am a member of this site Linkedin, but I never tried to look for a job here. If I am going to find a job, I prefer to apply online directly to the company's site or walk-in to the locate of the company.
You do not have to apply through LinkedIn but the works as mediator where people recommend you for a particular job (they even ask you to recommend them) And getting/keeping in touch with experts and fellow professionals is always a plus point for high level professionals. I am still getting invites even after I have resigned from my regular job as marketing professional a few years before.
I agree with you. I was saying is, I don't find a job with the help of the people wanted to recommend me. I find it not appealing to me. I have some of my friends recommended me but never tried to accept the possibility.
I share all my posts urls at Linkedin and am surprised that everyday there are a few or tens of people reading my posts and my profile.
Yes, I had searched for positions at Linkedin too but most jobs are professional collars, I don't fit in coz I don't have those "papers" they wanted.
So, blogging fits me well
