You Should be Sharing Photos in LinkedIn Status Updates! Here’s Why (and How)!

This was a view from my hotel room at a recent speaking engagement.  A little more engaging than posting on LinkedIn "I'm speaking at a conference in Mexico", right? Many of the professionals I train are resistant to social media because they think it's simply a way for people to waste time.  They think social media consists of updates on what people had for lunch and random pictures of themselves and their kids and their friends and their pets.

9 Ways the Pros Use Their Status Update on LinkedIn

Updated December 2018 One of the most common features on social networking websites is the status update. Using the status update feature, a user can type in a short message that is broadcast to their entire network. Facebook’s popularity is based largely on people’s ability to share information through the status update feature, and Twitter has taken the process one step further – it’s just status updates, and nothing else. It can be exciting to share in this way, and many business people are using it to share professional information as well.  Unfortunately, the ubiquity of status updates makes it hard to be “heard” above the … [Read more...]
