TIPS FOR LINKEDIN

  • Once you begin to grow your follower base, LinkedIn is a great platform to cross-promote content such as blog posts, news articles or other promotions.
  • Because LinkedIn is a more professional platform, you will most likely be reaching owners rather than tenants and therefore, you’ll want to promote content that appeals to them.
  • Establish connections with people you meet at networking events.
  • Try to post at least 1-2 times per week to keep the channel active.
  • As you gain more traction and followers, you may want to increase to 2-4 times per week, depending on the engagement you are seeing.

CONTENT IDEAS FOR LINKEDIN

  • Make sure your profile credentials are filled out and up-to-date. This will help your prospects or future new hires get to know you and contact you.
  • On your Careers page, consider discussing your business’ values and share some of the fun things you do with your team. Let others know why you are such a great business to work for!
  • LinkedIn Articles are another way to help gain exposure and credibility for your business. Similar to a blog post, you can write an article and publish it on LinkedIn for users to read and share. These articles are great for cross-promoting on your other platforms as well and for driving traffic back to your site!
  • Join or create your own LinkedIn group to connect people in your area, then share articles and conversations in that forum.

SPENDING MONEY ON LINKEDIN

  • If you find you want to use LinkedIn to send InMail to non-contacts you might consider upgrading to a professional subscription. Otherwise the paid options on LinkedIn are probably only useful for the largest firms who are looking to generate leads.
  • If you choose to spend money, you can sponsor posts and target a specific audience of your choice.
