Write long content, Use Relevant Images, Keywords & Hashtags
Professionals prefer LinkedIn because unlike other Social Media Platforms like Facebook, Instagram Twitter, there are no distracting elements like Viral Memes or Videos that pops up on your News Feed.
The content that you find on LinkedIn is very for very niche audience and it is highly tailored for Professionals. Content forms like Case Studies, Charts, Business News or Product Info is what audience expect on LinkedIn.
Using relevant images, keywords and hashtags helps your post to get discovered by correct audience following those keywords.
Fully optimized Company Page and Employee Profiles
Human’s nature is to judge and on LinkedIn you are judged by Company Page and Profiles. Just like you would not go for a client meeting in a track pant and messy hair, similarly well managed Page and LinkedIn Profile is always welcomed and appreciated.
Users who wants more info about your brand would certainly look for your company name and when they find a company page with lot of errors, typo mistakes, improper bio, no well-designed content, they are not going to take you seriously. Take time to optimize your LinkedIn Page & Profile.
Employee Advocacy will create wonders
People believe and trusts a brand by Social Proof. And an Employee of the company having faith in its own company strengthens your Social Proof.
Just go and do a small exercise with your team, ask them to make their LinkedIn Profile and follow your company page and also list it as their Employer. This will increase the credibility of your brand/company.
For Instance: A user sees a company “A” with 100 Employees providing Digital Marketing Services, and another company “B” with 10 Employees providing same services, anyone will consider company A as more reputed.
Consistency is the key to Success in LinkedIn Marketing
Consistency is the differentiator between winners and losers. And trust me the secret to success in marketing is also commitment and being consistent in what you are doing and posting.
