Editor's Notes
- With that in mind – why do I need to be on LI Many of you might think about LI as a job board, etc. When you are on personal networks – spend time Professional networks – invest time Another key finding from the research is that there is a huge difference between the content people expect on the different networks. Personal network users are looking for content and info that gives immediate gratification – info on friends, entertainment, updates on their personal interests Professional networks users want content that can help them build for the future – info related to their work and careers and updates from brands they are interested in. When we asked people what type of information they wanted to hear from brands/companies/products, the personal side was about hobbies, entertainment, concert updates, etc. The professional side was about how to improve yourself, how to be better in your career and in your industry, they want brands to talk to them in a relevant way to tap into this type of content. You can build relationships with professionals by sharing insights and listening.
- There are many ways for your to share what you know on LinkedIn, and to also learn from others who are sharing their expertise. I am going to dive deeper into a couple of these. SlideShare – upload you presentations, or infographics. New functionality now where you can with one click from SlideShare, add a presentation to you LinkedIn profile Groups – We have over 2M groups on LinkedIn – connect with other professionals with similar interests to you. Collaborate, share, discuss Pulse – Consume content on the topics that interest you. Influencers – Follow industry influencers We also have member publishign, which hopefully you’ve heard of. We’re going to dive deeper into that in a little bit.
