The top five most important factors of online advertising, standing out on LinkedIn, building a following and is social required to get a job?

I think the most important thing about creating your LinkedIn is making sure everything that you want people to know is easily viewable. You dont want to put everything possible on your profile because that just creates clutter. You want your profile to represent the work that you do meaning it is organised and profesional.

I think that the best value is being authentic. I think that comes first because that has to do with originality and loyalty. I think that when a company has both of those things which link back to authenticity then it is a notable company. The second thing is target, then adding value, know your metrics, always know your testing. Those three can be intertwined truly depending on the company. 

I think the best way to make your LinkedIn stand out is make sure you have good job descriptions. I also have realized when I added my GPA and such it really helped me get in better touch with companies. I also think on LinkedIn you can't be scared to contact people. 

I think the way an Instagram grows especially a company Instagram is if it has interesting content that people want to view. I think that companies just have to make sure to have relatable interesting content. 

I have deleted my Facebook because I just think of it as being a huge distraction, something I can truly live with. I beleive the less social media you are on the better of a person you are day to day. I work for an Instagram company so I think you do need some sort and I truly beleive Instagram is the best one. I think Facebook is truly outdated. I think that companies do look at social media and if you have a stand out one that is awesome. I think any bad content can easily be avoided. 

I think the best way to build up your linkden is to simply be to your self. While it is very important to make your content on there entertaining but once your start worrying to much about that you start to let you linkedn take on another life than your self.

Is it ok to add random people who are related in the similar field of profession on those platforms like linkedin and social media? Because i feel like there are lots of competitors and industrial (business) spies that are active on such platforms and people need to be really cautious when expanding and managing their networks to prevent any confidential info. from leaking out to public.   

I think the best way to make your linkedIN profile stick out without being too much is just the matter of making it unique and simple. Show the talent your have and how creativ eyou are without over doing it.

I have sepereate social media account for school and personal. I feel too much information on social account makes me feel unsafe. Sometimes you post a picture, you do not want your boss or partner found out. Recently, my friend who is the army posted a picture about himself wearing a uniform on social network and get dismissed. In China, it's not allow any one in milltary post pictures when they are still in the army. When you post a picture or a article on a professional network such as Linkedin, you have to be careful about each words you used. 

When a business is just starting up and decides to use social media to advertise their new business, how do they get people to follow and trust them right away when they do not have much, if any, business or other followers?  

If a business is just starting they need to create a connection with thier brand and the target audience. They have to build awareness for they brand. This entailes, not only setting up social media accounts but actively participating in the network.  A company should repost and comment on  photos, post and blogs. Letting you audience know that your company share some of the likes ideas and values. It will create a connection with your following. The internet does one thing that no other channel of advertising can do. It give you access to millions of peoples 24 hours of the day. Whether you gain their attention is about how you can effectively appeal to the consumer. Social media advertising is a good way gain a following.
