What can you do to build your personal brand on LinkedIn?
That was the topic of conversation when we spoke with Alan Shoebridge, Associate Vice President at Providence.
Alan's been investing time on the LinkedIn platform and we thought it'd be interesting to hear from someone else about their experiences of what works and what to focus on...
We covered:
❓ Some people are hesitant to promote themselves on LinkedIn, is that a mistake?
❓ What should people do to get the most exposure from podcasts & articles they've appeared in?
❓ Any tips for effectively sharing content where you have been featured by others?
❓ How can people avoid coming across as arrogant when sharing accomplishments?
Hope this is helpful, and if you've any of your own tips to add in the comments, would love to read and respond to those!

🦸Here's a LinkedIn superpower for you!!
We were reminded of it on our call with LinkedIn Expert trainer Mark White, a snippet of which is included here as a quick, actionable tip...
🔎 The superpower? Learning to make use of all the search functionality that LinkedIn offers, even on a free account!
The majority of users are barely scratching the surface when it comes to leveraging this. But the ability to search for posts (just from your network or from the broader LinkedIn community), to search for companies in target sectors, to search in-depth for people / prospects... all these and more are things that most people aren't aware you can do or aren't using to their full potential.
Are you?

❓ Your LinkedIn network - is it better to build a targeted or a broad network of contacts?
There are arguments can be made for both, but in conversation with Jen Corcoran we were advocates of going down the focused network building path.
Just some of the reasons for this include:
1. Greater visibility for your content if the first wave of people who see your content are interested in it.
2. What you see in your homepage feed is derived from your network, so the more focused your network the more relevant the content you see on LinkedIn is.
3. You appear higher in relevant search result pages if you have a targeted network on LinkedIn.
What has your approach to this been, out of interest? Any other reasons you'd add for choosing one approach over the other?

We've all been on the receiving end of these, right?!...
... pushy sales messages in your LinkedIn DMs, often within hours of accepting a connection request. 🙄
But if that's not the right approach to getting conversations started with your new connections, what is?
Delighted to say this was covered in our LinkedIn Experts Q&A session with Beth Granger, the short clip of which you'll find below.
Hope it helps (are you using LinkedIn voicemails already?) - and are there any other approaches you have found work well? Would love to read about this in the comments!

LinkedIn Polls: 👍 or 👎 ??
Used well, they can be a great way of starting conversations with your network - and making yourself a valuable industry expert for people to be connected to.
That's what we talked about in this discussion with Mic Adam, who's been using LinkedIn Polls extensively and shared what he's learnt in one of our LinkedIn Experts live calls...
❓ Do you use polls yourself? What have your experiences been?

This has to be one of the ⭐ most important topics ⭐ we've covered in our LinkedIn Experts live calls.
How can you sell on LinkedIn in a way that isn't going to just annoy people (and sure, we can all think of some examples of people who've annoyed us with their sales tactics on LinkedIn, right?!)
Well, this is a topic we covered with Sarah Clay - and here's a quick recap if you missed that part of our live calls series.
Anything you'd add? What particularly annoys you with sales approaches on LinkedIn.... and what have you seen people do that is much more effective? Would love to read any thoughts in the comments!
