Are you looking for some ways to up your LinkedIn game? We all know the basics—keep your profile up to date, stay professional with your posts, etc. How can you use LinkedIn effectively beyond this?
Access the LinkedIn Blog.
The official LinkedIn Blog is a great place to read up on the latest in quick snippets. On the LinkedIn blog, their contributors give succinct updates on the state of LinkedIn, how you can best use it, and what they are doing in the future.
From their algorithm articles to their feature updates, this is basically your guidebook for killing the game when it comes to effective LinkedIn use! Stay up to date with the LinkedIn blog to keep current on the platform.
Write articles and create a newsletter.
One LinkedIn feature that can often be overlooked is the article/newsletter function. This is a great way to use LinkedIn effectively and share information you may have in one of your areas of expertise without it getting lost among your other posts.
Adding your articles to your newsletter allows others to subscribe and be notified when you post new articles. This creates an easy way for you to compile articles/content you see as valuable for others to revisit.
If you decide to use this feature, be sure to write about something that adds value—don’t write just to write. Find your niche in an area where you can share valuable knowledge with others—you may be surprised by what people want to hear from you!
