Welcome to LinkedInformed 263. This week I continue with my tutorial on settings with probably the most important section of all - Privacy But before that... Go to http://linkedinformed.com/episode263/ for the full notes

Welcome to episode 262, I hope you had a great week. I thought I would cover a more educational topic this week by going through a very important but often ignored part of LinkedIn – your settings! Once I started recording I realised this was far too big a subject to cover in one episode so I will break it down across 3 or 4 episodes. This week I’m covering the Account settings. Also covered; The Linked Inn in Grimsby Have LinkedIn dumped one of Sales Navigators best features?  New features (they don't all work properly) New items in our feeds Why do Document posts achieve higher views? Post of the week Are hashtags really worth bothering with?

Hello and welcome, I’m back from my week away in San Francisco and I can tell you that my Find Nearby experiment yielded zero results! I had it on the whole time I was there and I checked it several times in busy places but never once saw anyone nearby! How disappointing! This week I want to return to Articles which we have covered recently but a listener highlighted an Article on LinkedIn about long-form content and I really felt I should counter it with a different perspective. Firstly let me be clear……I definitely don’t believe long-form content is dead or even dying, I just think people need to recalibrate how they use it. Anyway more of that later Continued at http://linkedinformed.com/episode261/

Welcome to episode 260 which has been inspired by two separate incidents that occurred this week. Firstly I had a session with a client who was really struggling to come up with ideas for content – I recommended she should start by using other peoples posts as inspiration to create similar posts. Secondly, a friend found out that someone had been copying his content – word for word, A clear example of plagiarism. This got me thinking about the differences between the two and where the line of acceptable practice sits. More of that later…

Welcome to episode 259. It’s great to have followers but to increase the visibility of our posts we need to get more of them to engage. This isn’t just about what we write but also about how we treat our followers, especially new ones! This week my main focus is on my new (and not fully tested) engagement blueprint. I have covered elements of it before but the extra part that I want to focus on in this episode techniques to get our followers more engagement.

Welcome to episode 258. We all know that post engagement is crucial for you to become visible on LinkedIn but not all ‘engagement’ types are equal. We know shares are pretty useless to you but what about Likes and Comments. Which one is best? Following some interesting research I saw this week, I thought that would be an interesting topic to explore.

Welcome to episode 257 where this week I want to cover a really important aspect of using LinkedIn in a productive and successful way… finding great content! As usual with LinkedIn, we have an algorithm that makes choices (often the wrong ones) for us but we can take actions to help us find and engage with the best content. Also covered in this episode; Main LinkedIn automation bot recommends it’s users to stop using it before their accounts get closed down! Another story about a fake account, easily created due to poor LinkedIn design that was used to con financial journalists A LinkedIn bug that allowed a fake job to be posted – CEO of Google! LinkedIn will be moving its servers to the cloud! Why is your post trending and is it something to celebrate? What exactly is a ‘Top’ comment? Do hashtags in comments count? Post of the week. A video post with over 350 Likes, 200 comments and over 17,000 views Question – Can you see the activity from someone from when they were blocked (after you unblock them)

Welcome to this weeks digest of all things LinkedIn. Today I want to address and issue which has always been a tricky question for LinkedIn users to answer…Should you connect to competitors? More of that later but first…..

Welcome to a new episode and it’s great to be back after a wonderfully relaxing week away in the truly stunning Swiss alps. About a month ago I received a personalised connection request from someone who had the words ‘LinkedIn and Neuroscience’ in his headline….as you can imagine this really piqued my interest. What on earth does that mean? So I arranged to have a chat with him and he explained to me his theories and how he uses his understanding of the ‘social brain’ to achieve success on LinkedIn…….so I just had to get him on the show! But first…..Go to https://linkedinformed.com/episode255/  

You open your laptop (or pick up your phone) in the morning, fire up LinkedIn and then notice this…… Wait….that’s not 2 invitations, it’s 2000! Where did they all of a sudden come from? This week I’m investigating what I call the LinkedIn Invitation Tsunami. What is it, why does it happen and what you should do if it happens to you. But first….. Go to https://linkedinformed.com/episode254 for the rest

Apparently, at LinkedIn they have a saying;  “People You Know, Talking About Things You Care About.” And so they have announced that they have been adjusting our feed algorithm to give us exactly that. More at https://linkedinformed.com/episode253

Welcome to episode 252. I thought it was about time we revisited Articles this week. I’m not the most prolific article writer so I thought I would ask, fan of the show and business copywriting expert, John Espirian onto the show. In our chat, I ask John about what to write about, how often to do it and how long an article should be. John talks about styles of writing, how to stimulate ideas and how to best repurpose blog pieces as LinkedIn articles For more go to linkedinformed.com/episode252

Covered in this show; A brief history of LinkedIn Ads Can you have too many followers Do paid followers have any benefit? Spy used AI-generated face to connect with targets New invitation feature (coming soon) Scheduling posts - is it worth bothering? Post of the week

This is an unusual episode in that it’s very short due to the fact I’m leaving for sunny Madrid today to attend the Champions league final frivolities….I nearly type celebrations then…but that would be tempting fate! I nearly skipped a week but I just had so many good posts to talk about……thank you all so much for nominating them, the quality seems to be increasing! So the main thrust of this episode is to talk through four brilliant posts that grabbed our attention this week but first…. For more go to https://linkedinformed.com/episode249

Hello and welcome to another episode of LinkedInformed and the first from my new office (studio). I hope the sound quality is the same as it was in my last office! This week I want to focus on several new features but one in particular which really caught my attention!

Welcome to episode 245. I hope you had a good week on LinkedIn, things definitely seem to be getting back to normal after the troubles of last week. That said, I know some of you are still finding you are invisible in searches so hang in there, the issue does appear to be getting better. This week I want to focus on LinkedIn organic reach and try to answer the question ‘Has it peaked or is there more to come?’
