Welcome to this weeks episode after a break for a week in the sun, I’m back fully refreshed and raring to go…oh and hating the cold, wet UK weather!

Welcome to episode 266.

So the time has finally come, I’ve been waiting in nervous anticipation for this for months and finally, LinkedIn have announced their new company page features. It, therefore, makes sense to focus on them this week although I will also continue with the series on LinkedIn settings.

Welcome to a new and special episode on LinkedInformed.

A shift from the normal format, this week I’m chatting with Scott Millward, the Marketing Director of Matt Burton Associates.

Scott only started posting on LinkedIn in February 2019 and in a matter of months he was producing posts that went viral. How did he manage to do that so quickly?

Prior to our interview I checked back and counted the average engagement he received on his last 10 posts;

Reactions (Likes etc) – 1289/post

Comments – 193/post

In this fascinating interview, Scott reveals the techniques he has utilised to gain this level of success – enjoy!

Welcome to episode 262, I hope you had a great week.

I thought I would cover a more educational topic this week by going through a very important but often ignored part of LinkedIn – your settings!

Once I started recording I realised this was far too big a subject to cover in one episode so I will break it down across 3 or 4 episodes. This week I’m covering the Account settings.

Also covered;

  • The Linked Inn in Grimsby
  • Have LinkedIn dumped one of Sales Navigators best features? 
  • New features (they don't all work properly)
  • New items in our feeds
  • Why do Document posts achieve higher views?
  • Post of the week
  • Are hashtags really worth bothering with?

Hello and welcome, I’m back from my week away in San Francisco and I can tell you that my Find Nearby experiment yielded zero results! I had it on the whole time I was there and I checked it several times in busy places but never once saw anyone nearby!

How disappointing!

This week I want to return to Articles which we have covered recently but a listener highlighted an Article on LinkedIn about long-form content and I really felt I should counter it with a different perspective.

Firstly let me be clear……I definitely don’t believe long-form content is dead or even dying, I just think people need to recalibrate how they use it.

Anyway more of that later

Welcome to episode 260 which has been inspired by two separate incidents that occurred this week.

Firstly I had a session with a client who was really struggling to come up with ideas for content – I recommended she should start by using other peoples posts as inspiration to create similar posts.

Secondly, a friend found out that someone had been copying his content – word for word, A clear example of plagiarism.

This got me thinking about the differences between the two and where the line of acceptable practice sits.

More of that later…
