LinkedIn UK Surpasses 10 Million Members ? Firmology | Small ...

Great news for Firmology?s second biggest audience! LinkedIn has surpassed 10 million members in the UK, making it the 3rd largest market for the #1 professional social network in the world. Only the U.S. and India, which happens to be Firmology?s 3rd biggest audience, have more members on LinkedIn.

Even more exciting is that 533,641 British small business owners are on the site, the top title that members identify themselves with. Four out of five UK business professionals are members of LinkedIn with the English cities of London, Birmingham, Reading leading the way, and Edinburgh, Scotland right behind them.

We?ve written many articles on the reasons?why every small business owner should be using LinkedIn, but none is more eye-opening than the study that showed?LinkedIn is four times better than Twitter and seven times better than Facebook for B2B customer leads.

Think your industry wouldn?t benefit from using a professional social network? According to LinkedIn, construction constitutes the 3rd biggest industry on LinkedIn UK, joining other industries such as IT & Services, Health & Beauty (2,447 beautiticians), Writing (815 poets), Entertainment (479 magicians), and Maritime (103 sailors). Who would have thought?!

If you?re one of the remaining one out of five UK business professionals that hasn?t joined LinkedIn yet, you?re missing out, so get on the site. We?ll even be your first connections: Philip, Laura and Firmology!
