You create a perfect content for your website and fan pages, click the share button and then you are waitin that the traffic on your web site will jump up dramatically, don't you? ;) However the thing is that it stays the same, stable with no jumps up. Typically it is hard to make people share your content and leave comments.If you have a blog, it has wider audience, however via LinkedIn you can reach professionals and leaders.Here are the main tips you should keep in mind :1. Focus on industry insightsThe difference betweet Facebook and LinkedIn posts is that on LinkedIn you concentrate on professionals, who are interested in their career delelopment/ growth. Therefore you should build your content around two topics: the industry and company area.For example, I am one of your LinkedIn contacts and why should I share your post? Well maybe because it is informative and helps me to grow as a proffesional. See the point?2. Engage your employees , find the leaderUse your employees power in order to promote your company. Find a leader, a person who is enthusiastic about marketing and your LinkedIn startegy, ask this person to share passionate thought in LinkedIn posts about industry, skills developmen, giving some advices etc. It is nice to have a company blog, but the audience will be wider , however imagine your company CEO publishing some cool posts, representing company image and industry, this atrracts specific audience. Your leader can make them excited and motivated. These poeple can promote your comnpany LinkedIn posts and make others to participate in online discussions. Imagine that each employee has aroind 200-300 connections on LinekdIn , so 10 employees can have 2000-300 connections , and here how you define the potencial power of your LinekdIn content to be shared, promoted. explain it to your employees, share your thought, maybe in one of your superpower motivation Linedk In posts.3.
