Staying On The PulseFresh Professional Content

You don’t have to be an “Influencer” to publish on LinkedIn.

Publishing allows you to further establish your professional identity by expressing your opinions and sharing your experiences. Be The Voice, Not the Echo

Inbound Marketing With Content

Your original content becomes part of your professional profile. It is displayed on the Posts section of your LinkedIn profile.

It's shared with your connections and followers.

Members not in your network can now follow you from your long-form post to receive updates when you publish next.

Your long-form post is searchable both on and off of LinkedIn.

Conclusion:

LinkedIn is the best tool for creating business opportunities and influence with potential clients. It allows you to target specific people and companies with amazing search tools.

LinkedIn best practices are important to know about before you start the process.

Amp up your profile, make proactive connections and stay on the pulse of this game changing business platform.
