4 Years Ago: I used LinkedIn to set up networking calls with CEOs when I was still in college. 3 Years Ago: I got my first job ever through LinkedIn. And This Year: I started posting my video content on LinkedIn resulting in 92 million impressions, my first paid speaking opportunities and five figure brand partnerships. Mmm hmm! So when I tell you guys that LinkedIn is not just for finding a job anymore THIS is what I mean. And today I had the opportunity to speak on a panel about video on LinkedIn with LinkedIn! Long story short: creators are now posting their videos on LinkedIn and people are loving it. I've seen videos about professional development, personal growth, current events. You don't have to be a work expert to post on LinkedIn, your lived experiences are enough, and have the potential to inspire so many other people. I love videos specifically, because it allows for more storytelling without robot corporate buzzwords. It gives you the chance to talk in your own tone of voice and just saying.... video receives 1.4X more engagement than other formats on LinkedIn. Okay, last thing, best thing, what makes LinkedIn really specifically powerful is that there are over 1 billion professionals on the platform (!!?) this means decision makers and really influential people are the ones seeing your content. These impressions and views have the potential to turn into real life opportunities just like this one for me!! Let this be your sign- do not sleep on LinkedIn and feel free to send me a connection request I would love to hype up your videos!
