LinkedIn is the place to find business professionals online. It has more than  225 million registered users around the globe, and about one third of those are in the US. If you are looking to find sales leads in social media, LinkedIn is one of the best places to do it ,because many members are decision makers.

LinkedIn ads are small boxes that appear on various pages on LinkedIn. They...

In January, the Symantec Partner Communication team hosted its first ever Google+ Hangout. It was a great success and a great way to connect face to face with partners and customers. On February 19, we did it again focusing this time on Backup Exec V-Ray Edition, “So what, exactly, is this Backup Exec V-Ray Edition?”

Twitter is a great way for interacting with customers and prospects in a real-time conversation and can generate valuable sales leads 140 characters at a time. But when you need to widen the reach of your tweets you may find Twitter’s ads—known as Promoted Products—are a useful and cost-effective tool for getting your message in front of a larger audience.

What are Twitter ads?

There are two important kinds of Twitter ads for partners:

  • Promoted tweets: these ads are regular tweets that you can “promote” (show) to an audience of users based on a number of demographics, including geography, gender and interests.
