I have a question for those of you that use LinkedIn, that are small business owners and have a day job. Do you have two LinkedIn accounts one as a business owner looking for business contacts and one as a employee looking for opportunities? I am an aspiring business owner and I am starting to look for a new job. Any advice?

All the years telling connections happy bday and work anniversary and new job. I had a connection ask for me to make something for them. It ended up being a huge order for me.
I have not worked my network for work. But I can see how if you worked it right you could get jobs form it.
Thanks Travis. I just wasn’t sure if I should create another account as a business owner with a different set of contacts, but I can see how I can modify my current account and still make the right contacts. I don’t have my business completely set up as of now, but it would be nice to start making some contacts to reach out to for business in the future.
