I answer five community questions about LinkedIn and share how I repurpose Q&As into a podcast, blog, and YouTube video while keeping askers anonymous.
First, I explain that even without deep industry experience (like real estate), the key is understanding audience mindset on LinkedIn and optimizing a profile to clearly describe services and provide a path to do business.
Next, I advise canceling LinkedIn Premium if its features aren’t being used, and I note the premium tools I find most valuable, including profile views, personalized invite notes, and the away message.
I then explain how to block or report irrelevant or offensive promoted ads.
I also outline ways to capitalize on being tagged in a post that boosted podcast listens by commenting, reposting, linking directly, and networking with others mentioned.
Finally, I discuss LinkedIn’s new paid consultation link "Get Advice from Me" -- a feature for Premium Business, why it may be intended to drive upgrades, and why it may not convert well compared to other profile link placements.
