Welcome to episode 111, more of the
mobile dilemma later but I want to start with an ongoing issue that
everyone seems to be talking about;
It’s NOT
Facebook!
LinkedIn is clearly different to
Facebook in that it is a business & professional network but
it’s not different in that it is a network of people and it’s
social!
Rather than complain about
inappropriate posts wouldn’t it be better to pay more attention to
those connections who are posting more interesting content and
building stronger relationships with them?
I saw a comment this week which I
thought hit the nail on the head;
How about you focus on what you
do, what value you bring, who you help, who you identify, contact
in an authentic not all-about-you-and-what-you-want way, meet in
person, build rapport, work out how you might help each
other.
The key is to understand, truly
understand what you want out of being on LinkedIn (& out of
Business/Professional networking in general) and then... realize
it's all about people, other people. Get good at researching using
LinkedIn and 'what's in my feed' will be less of concern to you
because that won't be where you find the value. The value will be
in what YOU do.
Well said!
Interesting stuff I saw this
week
I also came across this legend of
business on LinkedIn this week!
changes
Some people are seeing the number of
followers on profiles rather than connections, this might be an
experiment, I don’t have it yet but it could just be in the early
stages of being rolled out.
We can now ‘like’ comments in status
updates
It is now possible to remove
yourself from a group conversation in Messages
The Field Of Study search is...
